“…THE FIRST ATTACK OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS This study confirms that the mortality of this disease is always greatest during the year of the first attack (Hurst, 1935;Rice-Oxley and Truelove, 1950;Sloan, Bargen, and Gage, 1950;Demole, 1956;Banks, Korelitz, and Zetzel, 1957;Kellock and White, 1957;Nefzger and Acheson, 1963;Edwards and Truelove, 1963). This high mortality in the year of the first attack is understandable, because this is the only year in which all the patients surveyed have an attack of colitis.…”

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS The major factors influencing the prognosis in either the first or subsequent attacks of colitis have been found to be the age at onset of symptoms and the severity of disease and extent of involvement of the colon at the time of each attack.The mortality of this disease under present-day forms of treatment has been found to be low, except in patients with total involvement of the colon and rectum, and in patients over the age of 60 years. Specific recommendations are made for the treatment of patients in these high-risk groups.

“…The periods of freedom from symptoms are variable, often being several years in length, although sometimes recurrent attacks of the disease occur at short intervals. However, although there is no fixed rule, the recurrences are not on average as dangerous as the first attacks (Rice‐Oxley and Truelove, 1950 ; Demole, 1956 ; Kellock and White, 1957). (c) Some patients suffer from bowel symptoms continuously from the time of the first attack onwards. Modern medical treatment has made this a much smaller group than previously.…”
