Interpretation of the treatment section of Chinese Clinical Practice Guideline on the Management of Ulcerative Colitis(2023,Xi'an)
In recent years,the incidence of ulcerative colitis(UC)in China has been rapidly increasing,high-lighting the necessity of improving treatment strategy to enhance patient prognosis.Since 1993,multiple consen-sus on the treatment of UC have been continuously formulated in China,elucidating various aspects including treatment goals,principles,and medical applications.In 2023,consensus was revised again,and methodological validation of evidence was conducted using the Oxford grading system,leading to the development of the first edi-tion of UC guidelines in China.This article aims to interpret the treatment section of the UC guidelines and com-pare it with the consensus on UC treatment from 2018,with the expectation of deepening clinical physicians'un-derstanding of the basic principles and advancements in UC treatment,standardizing clinical behavior,and imple-menting them in clinical practice.
