Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Ustekinumab serves as an important alternative option for patients with various extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs), which leads to poor quality of life and heavy burden of care. Therefore, a comprehensive review summarizing the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with CDassociated EIMs is needed to provide reference for clinical medication and help with the appliance of precision medicine.
AREAS COVERED
In this review, we collected and summarized the efficacy and paradoxical side effects of ustekinumab in patients with CDassociated EIMs including musculoskeletal, cutaneous, ocular, and hepatobiliary manifestations. This literature review was performed using PubMed to identify and collect relevant studies published in English.
EXPERT OPINION
The effectiveness of ustekinumab on patients with CDassociated EIMs is mainly reflected in musculoskeletal and cutaneous manifestations compared to ocular or hepatobiliary manifestations. Relevant data from large scale cohort studies and prospective randomized trials are needed to further demonstrate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with multiple EIMs.
