Ustekinumab versus vedolizumab and ustekinumab versus tumor necrosis factor alpha agent infectious adverse effects in patients with ulcerative colitis, a real-world data study
Our findings demonstrate that ustekinumab is associated with a significantly lower risk of several infections. However, there is a less prominent difference in infectious risk when compared to vedolizumab. These results suggest that ustekinumab may offer a safer alternative, compared to anti-TNFα agents and possibly to vedolizumab, particularly those at higher risk of infections.
