Association with controlling nutritional status score and disease activity of ulcerative colitis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the association between the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled patients with UC. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected and compared. The CONUT score was obtained for each patient. The association between the CONUT score and laboratory parameters was analysed and the ability of the score to assess disease activity was evaluated.

Results

A total of 182 patients with UC were enrolled. Patients with active disease showed significantly increased inflammatory biomarkers and decreased nutritional biomarkers compared with patients in remission. Malnourished individuals had significantly elevated inflammatory biomarkers and
