| Core Tip |
There are little data on the epidemiological and clinical features of adult ulcerative colitis patients in the different Italian regions, mainly derived from the absence of a national registry. This prevents correct appraisal of the disease burden. A population-based observational study evaluating an entire population in a defined geographic area over an extended period of time is ideal to inform the natural history of a disease and to avoid selection biases associated with referral center cohort studies. |
