Clinical remission was defined as having a UC-DAI stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. Mucosal healing was defined as having a mucosal appearance subscore of 0 or 1. p-value: Farrington–Manning test [one-sided] with non-inferiority margin = 10%. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval for the difference of 4 mg BUS—2 mg BUF [asymptotic confidence interval].
