CMV Survey

Dear Colleague,
Steroid refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) is a clinical presentation of the disease that is faced by most practicing gastroenterologists and trainees in the field. This survey aims to gain a first-hand perspective regarding the approach to management of various issues regarding the management and treatment of steroid refractory UC. This study will provide valuable insights that can be used to inform the development of future guidelines. The survey consists of a clinical vignette with follow up questions regarding management issues that are frequently encountered when managing the care of persons with steroid refractory UC.
