The study aims to investigate the correlation between clinical, biochemical, endoscopic, and histological indicators in patients with idiopathic chronic ulcerative colitis.
Conducted as an observational and cross-sectional study at an IBD clinic.
Included 218 confirmed cases of ulcerative colitis.
Collected clinical variables using the Truelove and Witts scale, biochemical data through CRP and fecal calprotectin, and endoscopic and histological assessments via Mayo scale and Riley index.
Analyzed correlations using the Spearman correlation coefficient with a significance level of p < 0.05.
51.4% of participants were women with a mean age of 42.3 years.
CRP showed a low to moderate positive correlation with fecal calprotectin (ρ = 0.349).
Fecal calprotectin had limited correlation with other clinical measures, including no significant correlation with the Mayo scale.
The Riley index and Mayo scale showed a moderate positive correlation (ρ = 0.299).
