本文比较了 1944 年美国陆军医院收治的 525 名患有溃疡性结肠炎的男性与 518 名年龄、种族和军衔相匹配的对照者的死亡率。与对照组相比，溃疡性结肠炎组死亡率过高，是因为溃疡性结肠炎（2·9%）和盲肠癌、结肠癌和直肠癌（3·2%）的死亡比例大致相等。溃疡性结肠炎的死亡主要发生在诊断后的第一年和随后几年，而大多数癌症死亡发生在后来的几年。 1944 年，不良预后与结肠放射学受累程度之间存在显着相关性。
This paper compares the mortality of 525 men admitted to U.S. Army hospitals in 1944 with ulcerative colitis compared with 518 controls matched for age, race, and rank. The excess mortality in the ulcerative colitis group as compared with the control group was due to approximately equal proportions of deaths from ulcerative colitis (2·9%) and cancer of the caecum, colon, and rectum (3·2%). The mortality from ulcerative colitis occurred mainly in the first and immediately subsequent years after diagnosis while most of the deaths from cancer occurred in later years. A striking correlation is shown between bad prognosis and the extent of radiological involvement of the colon in 1944.
