“…Of the studies reporting mean time since diagnosis (n = 6), participants were diagnosed for an average of 9.3 years (Miehsler et al, 2008;Moss et al, 2010;Rini et al, 2008;Sewitch et al, 2001;Tanaka & Kazuma, 2005). Five studies reported on the patient's disease status, such as active or inactive disease, each using a different metric (Maunder et al, 2007;Moss et al, 2010;Sewitch et al, 2001;Slonim-Nevo et al, 2018;Tanaka & Kazuma, 2005). Four studies reported on treatment methods, with two studies reporting medication use (Tanaka & Kazuma, 2005;Slonim-Nevo et al, 2018), one study focusing solely on mesalamine medication use (Moss et al, 2010), and one study reporting on partial and complete colon removal (Rini et al, 2008).…”
