Objective: Prevalence of extraintestinal manifestations among patients with ulcerative colitis. Methodology: We initiated a cross sectional study on 180 patients presenting with ulcerative colitis having age 18 to 65 years of either gender. Prevalence of EIMs and its predictors were assessed. Results: The mean age was 40.77±14.20 years. Prevalence of EIMs was 84 (46.7%). Nineteen (22.6%) EIM patients had pancolitis, Thirty six (42.9%) had arthritis, and 23 (27.4%) had colectomy. Predictors such pancolitis, arthritis, and colectomy were connected to extraintestinal symptoms. Conclusion: Prevalence of extraintestinal manifestations among patients with ulcerative colitis was 84 (46.7%)
