Extended Monitoring for Transition to Oral Corticosteroids in Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis May Be Unnecessarily Prolonging Length of Stay
Transition failures from IV to oral steroids are uncommon in ASUC hospitalizations. Transition failures were more likely to occur with extended monitoring, suggesting potential predictors and/or patient selection bias within this group. Further studies are needed to investigate the parameters driving clinician decision-making regarding oral steroid transitioning.
