Abstract
Background and objective

Ulcerative colitis (UC) clinical guidelines include the best available evidence, although not all clinical situations are answered, so their management can be controversial. The aim of this study is to identify the situations of mild to moderate UC susceptible to controversy and to evaluate the degree of agreement or disagreement with specific proposals.

Methods

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) expert discussion meetings were used to identify criteria, attitudes and opinions regarding the management of UC. A Delphi questionnaire was then developed with 60 items regarding antibiotics, salicylates and probiotics; local, systemic and topical corticosteroids; and immunosuppressants.

Results

Consensus was reached in 44 statements (73.3%); 32 in agreement (53.3%) and 12 in disagreement (20.0%). Some of them were: it is not necessary the systematic use of antibiotics despite the severity of the outbreak, being reserved when there is suspicion of infection or systemic toxicity; when faced with a mild-moderate outbreak of UC and in patients who do not respond to aminosalicylates, it is appropriate to use a dose of beclomethasone of 10 mg/day for one month and 5 mg/day for another month; it is advised that the dose of azathioprine be administered in a single dose.

Conclusions

IBD experts agree on most of the proposals identified for managing mild to moderate UC and there is a need for scientific evidence in some specific situations where expert opinion may be helpful.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

Las guías clínicas de colitis ulcerosa (CU) recogen la mejor evidencia disponible, aunque no todas las situaciones clínicas quedan respondidas, por lo que su manejo puede ser motivo de controversia. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar las situaciones de la CU leve a moderada susceptibles de controversia y evaluar el grado de acuerdo o desacuerdo a propuestas concretas.

Métodos

Mediante reuniones de debate de expertos en enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) se identificaron criterios, actitudes y opiniones respecto al manejo de la CU. A continuación se elaboró un cuestionario Delphi con 60 aseveraciones relativas a antibióticos, salicilatos y probióticos; corticoides locales, sistémicos y tópicos; e inmunosupresores.

Resultados

Se alcanzó consenso en 44 aseveraciones (73,3%); 32 en el acuerdo (53,3%) y 12 en el desacuerdo (20,0%). Algunos de ellos fueron: no es necesario el uso sistemático de antibióticos a pesar de la gravedad del brote, quedando reservados ante la sospecha de infección o toxicidad sistémica; ante un brote leve-moderado de CU y en pacientes que no responden a aminosalicilatos, es adecuado utilizar una dosis de beclometasona de 10 mg/día durante un mes y 5 mg/día durante otro mes; se aconseja que la dosis de azatioprina se administre en una única dosis.

Conclusiones

Los expertos en EII coinciden en la mayoría de las propuestas identificadas para manejar la CU leve a moderada y se constata la necesidad de evidencia científica en algunas situaciones concretas en las que conocer la opinión de expertos puede resultar de ayuda.
