Core Tip We aimed to identify the diagnostic delay that affects the prognosis in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis. We found that the group with a ≥ 24-mo diagnostic delay had used anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha drugs more frequently than the group with a < 24-mo delay. We also found that additional risk factors for a 24-mo delay in diagnosis were age < 60 years, smoking history, and a misdiagnosis of hemorrhoids by a physician.
