Abbreviations: CDAI, Crohn’s Disease Activity Index; GI, gastrointestinal; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; IQ, interquartile; SD, standard deviation; UC, ulcerative colitis.

Data presented as N (%) unless otherwise noted.

aMayo score is comprised of 4 parts: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, endoscopic findings and Physician’s Global Assessment, each scored from 0–3. Moderate-to-severe UC is defined as total score of 6–12 on Mayo score (range 0–12).

bCDAI has a possible range of 0 to 600 (with higher scores indicating more severe disease studies.). CDAI <150 is used as a marker of remission, >450 is a marker of severe disease.

cMissing data for one patient.
