Clinical results following colonic resection for ulcerative colitis in elderly individuals (elderly-onset vs. nonelderly onset).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing, but there are few reports comparing elderly UC patients undergoing colectomy for elderly-onset UC (EO) and nonelderly-onset UC (NEO).

Only patients aged 65 years old and older who underwent colectomy were enrolled in this study (n = 221, 11.2%), and their clinical records were retrospectively reviewed.
