PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to conduct a nationwide population-based study to estimate the incidence of primary sclerosing cholangitis in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC-PSC) and investigate healthcare use, medication use, surgery, cancer, and death as adverse clinical events of UC-PSC. METHODS: We identified incident cases of UC with (UC-PSC) or without PSC (UC-alone) between 2008 and 2018 using health insurance claims data in Korea. Univariate (crude hazard ratio (HR)) and multivariate analyses were performed to compare the risk of adverse clinical events between groups. RESULTS: A total of 14,406 patients with UC using population-based claims data were detected in the cohort. Overall, 3.38% (487/14,406) of patients developed UC-PSC. During a mean follow-up duration of approximately 5.92 years, the incidence of PSC in patients with UC was 185 per 100,000 person-years. The UC-PSC group showed statistically more frequent healthcare use (hospitalization and emergency department visits: HRs, 5.986 and 9.302, respectively; P < .001), higher immunomodulator and biologic use (azathioprine, infliximab, and adalimumab: HRs, 2.061, 3.457, and 3.170, respectively; P < .001), and higher surgery rate (operation for intestinal obstruction, and colectomy: HRs, 9.728 and 2.940, respectively; P < .001) than did the UC-alone group. The UC-PSC group also showed significantly higher colorectal cancer and biliary tract cancer (HRs, 2.799 and 36.343, respectively; P < .001) and mortality (HR, 4.257) rates than did the UC-alone group. CONCLUSION: Patients with UC-PSC have higher risks of colorectal cancer, biliary tract cancer, and death than do patients with UC-alone. Although considered a rare disease, managing this complex and costly disease requires recognition of the impact of increased burden on healthcare services.
