About this trial
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease characterized by acute episodes of bloody diarrhea with varying degrees of severity. The most feared event, acute severe UC, can lead to life-threatening and systemic complications. Little is known about the determinants of severity in UC. The investigators hypothesize that distinct severity phenotypes of UC arise from intricated host-microbiota mechanisms influencing repair mechanisms. Our first and main objective is to study the natural history of UC during a one-year time period in a cohort of patients.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Mayo clinical activity score
Evolution of Mayo clinical activity score between inclusion and last visit. There is 4 items and for each item is rated from 0 to 3 and total score that varies from 0 to 12
UCEIS endoscopic activity score
Evolution of UCEIS endoscopic activity score between inclusion and last visit. There is 3 items. Each item is rated from 0 to 2 or 0 to 3 and total score that varies from 0 to 8
Nancy histological activity score
Evolution of Nancy histological activity score between inclusion and last visit. The Nancy index is defined by a 5-level classification ranging from grade 0 (absence of significant histological disease activity) to grade 4 (severely active disease).
