About this study

Official title: Real World Observation of Guselkumab Treatment in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease - a Study of Treatment Outcomes in the UK

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness (how well the treatment works) of Guselkumab, by lines of treatment and subpopulations, and what are the outcomes of treatment (clinical outcomes) in adult participants with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD) under real-world settings. CD and UC are the main type of Inflammatory bowel disease, a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.
