Table 2. Medication use for responders who relapsed (R-Rel) and sustained remission (R-SustRem) at ⩾1-year follow-up.

  R-Rel (n=6)ˆ R-SustRem (n=6)* P-value
Allocated to FMT-D, n (%) 3 (50.0) 4 (66.6) 1.0
Concomitant drug treatment at 1-year FU, n (%)      
 No medication, mesalamine oral, mesalamine/corticosteroid rectal 3 (50.0) 4 (66.6) 0.57
 Immunosuppressants and/or steroids <10 mg per day 2 (33.3) 2 (33.3)  
 Systemic corticosteroids >10 mg per day, anti-TNF 1 (16.6) 0 (0.0)  

Abbreviations: Anti-TNF, antitumour necrosis factor; FU, follow-up; FMT, faecal microbiota transplantation; FMT-D, FMT with donor faeces; SCCAI, Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index.

The median SCCAI scores at 1 year for patients in sustained remission were low: 0 (range 0–2).

ˆ

Patients who relapsed had an SCCAI score >5 and or need for rescue therapy during FU.
