Infliximab or Cyclosporine as Rescue Therapy in Hospitalized Patients with Steroid-Refractory Ulcerative Colitis: A Retrospective Observational Study

Abstract

Colectomy frequencies were significantly lower after rescue therapy with CsA than with a single infusion of IFX both at 3 and 12 months' follow-up. The superiority of CsA was seen principally during the first 15 days.
