The p-value was calculated by ANOVA for numerical covariates and chi-square test or Fisher’s exact for categorical covariates, where appropriate. TNFα: tumor necrosis factor α. CPI: immune checkpoint inhibitor. SD: standard deviation. irAE: immune-related adverse event. #calculated among patients who continued CPIs. *denotes statistical significance at p = 0.05. Second-line immune suppression includes exposure to different glucocorticoids in the microscopic colitis cohort
