hese recommendations summarise the current evidence on the medical management of adult patients with UC. Gaps were iden-tified during the analysis of the data, which should be addressed by further research. Where evidence is lacking or is very weak and evidence-based recommendations cannot be given, ECCO provides alternative tools, such as Topical Reviews28,95,153–158 or Position Papers.159–161 It is important that clinicians use these guidelines within the framework of local regulations, and seek to understand and address the individual needs and expectations of every patient. We recognise that constraints on health care resources are an im-portant factor in determining whether recommendations can be implemented for patients in many countries. The recommendations outlined here should be used to inform treatment decisions and form part of an overall multidisciplinary treatment plan for patients with UC, which may also encompass psychological, nutritional, and other non-pharmacological interventions.
