A Multi-Center, Non-Interventional Study on Effectiveness and Treatment Persistence of Guselkumab in Patients With ULcerative Colitis and Crohn's DiseasE in Real-World Practice in Saudi Arabia

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment persistence of guselkumab (that is how long a person keeps taking their prescribed medicine or continues with their treatment plan without stopping) in participants with moderate to severe crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in real-world setting.

• The participant must have a confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe CD or UC recorded in their medical records
• The participant must sign a participation agreement/informed consent form (ICF) allowing source data verification
