Core Tip Real-world data concerning sex-specific differences in the response to and long-term outcomes of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) therapy for ulcerative colitis (UC) in large-scale UC cohorts are lacking. This retrospective study analyzed 354 patients receiving 5-ASA treatment after 1:1 propensity score matching. Male patients had an increased chance of frequent UC flare-ups, less frequent and delayed endoscopic mucosal healing, and a higher risk of surgery. These findings emphasize the need for sex-adapted therapeutic strategies to optimize 5-ASA utilization and improve individualized UC management.
