PG - 402-427 LID - 10.18999/nagjms.85.3.402 [doi] AB - Ustekinumab has recently been approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) based on data from clinical trials. However, the effectiveness of ustekinumab in patients with UC in a real-world setting remains unclear. Hence, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ustekinumab in a real-world setting and to investigate the predictors of its effectiveness. A comprehensive literature search was performed to examine the effectiveness of ustekinumab in UC patients admitted between January 2019 and December 2021. Data on clinical remission, response, and corticosteroid-free clinical remission rates were extracted, pooled, and analyzed. Meta-regression analysis was performed to investigate the source of heterogeneity and the impact of moderators on the outcomes of interest. A total of 14 eligible studies were identified. The pooled clinical remission rate was 55.0% at week 8, 36.1% at week 16, 46.6% at month 6, and 38.6% at month 12. The meta-regression analysis showed that prior use of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents and vedolizumab and the publication style were significant moderators. Additionally, out of 258 patients, there were 28 adverse events (AEs) (10.9%). The effectiveness of ustekinumab in real-world patients with UC was consistent with the results clinical trials. Moreover, previous treatment with anti-TNF agents and vedolizumab might have affected the effectiveness of ustekinumab.
