Moderate/Severe = initiated on IV CS or oral CS with PUCAI ≥ 45. CV AUC = AUC from leave-one-out cross-validation, PPV = positive predictive value, NPV = negative predictive value.

Note: Missing clinical covariate data imputed via multiple imputation. Clinical parameters selected by LASSO. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV are based on a predicted probability of 0.5.

Note: Escalation to anti-TNFα includes one patient starting a calcineurin inhibitor and one patient who received colectomy without escalation to anti-TNFα.

a

The evaluable population excludes participants who discontinued the study without additional therapy or colectomy and with no protocol violations.

b

The clinical model was run on the subset of evaluable participants with biological data. Clinical model factors with p > 0.05 in this smaller cohort were removed from the model.

c

Week 4 remission: PUCAI < 10 at week 4 with no prior treatment escalation or colectomy

d

Log relative abundance was calculated by taking the log base 10 of the OTU plus half of the minimum value

e

Compares the clinical model in the subset of patients with biological data against the clinical + biological model

The predicted probability of Escalation to Anti-TNFα for someone with mayo ≥11, eos < 32, vitamin D < 20, hemoglobin <10, and no week 4 remission = exp(1.587 + 1.477*1 – 0.738*0 – 0.514*0 – 0.694*0 – 1.014*0) / (1+ exp(1.587 + 1.477*1 – 0.738*0 – 0.514*0 – 0.694*0 – 1.014*0)) = 0.96; see supplemental Table S8A.
