Abstract
INTRODUCTION Crohn's disease (CD) varies by location, potentially affecting therapy efficacy and surgery risk, although research on this topic is conflicting. This study aims to investigate the independent association between CD location and therapeutic patterns. METHODS We analyzed patients with CD diagnosed from January 2005 to May 2023 registered in the nationwide ENEIDA registry. A univariate Cox regression analysis assessed the association of disease location with biologic use and persistence (with treatment discontinuation as a failure event), as well as the use of intestinal resections. A multivariate model was constructed to evaluate the independent association of disease location with therapeutic patterns, controlling for potential confounders such as sex, age at inclusion and diagnosis, disease duration and behavior, previous surgery or biological therapy, extraintestinal manifestations, and perianal disease. RESULTS The study included 17,292 patients with a median follow-up period of 6 years (interquartile range 2-10 years). Ileocolonic location was associated with a higher biologic use than colonic location (hazard ratio [HR] 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-1.38) and ileal disease (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.16-1.27), independently predicting biologic use (P < 0.001). Ileal location was associated with a lower biologic persistence than ileocolonic location (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.07-1.21) and colonic disease (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20), independently predicting biologic persistence (P = 0.019). Ileal disease was associated with a higher likelihood of intestinal resections than colonic (HR 2.82, 95% CI 2.45-3.25) and ileocolonic location (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.05-1.22), independently predicting the use of surgery (P < 0.001). DISCUSSION CD location with ileal predominance is associated with a distinct therapeutic pattern, including higher biologic use, lower treatment persistence, and increased rates of intestinal resections.

Sepsis during short bowel syndrome hospitalizations: Identifying trends, disparities, and clinical outcomes in the United States. World J Gastrointest Pathophysiol 2024; 15:92085. [PMID: 38682025 PMCID: PMC11045357 DOI: 10.4291/wjgp.v15.i1.92085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short bowel syndrome (SBS) hospitalizations are often complicated with sepsis. There is a significant paucity of data on adult SBS hospitalizations in the United States and across the globe. AIM To assess trends and outcomes of SBS hospitalizations complicated by sepsis in the United States. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample was utilized to identify all adult SBS hospitalizations between 2005-2014. The study cohort was further divided based on the presence or absence of sepsis. Trends were identified, and hospitalization characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared. Predictors of mortality for SBS hospitalizations complicated with sepsis were assessed. RESULTS Of 247097 SBS hospitalizations, 21.7% were complicated by sepsis. Septic SBS hospitalizations had a rising trend of hospitalizations from 20.8% in 2005 to 23.5% in 2014 (P trend < 0.0001). Compared to non-septic SBS hospitalizations, septic SBS hospitalizations had a higher proportion of males (32.8% vs 29.3%, P < 0.0001), patients in the 35-49 (45.9% vs 42.5%, P < 0.0001) and 50-64 (32.1% vs 31.1%, P < 0.0001) age groups, and ethnic minorities, i.e., Blacks (12.4% vs 11.3%, P < 0.0001) and Hispanics (6.7% vs 5.5%, P < 0.0001). Furthermore, septic SBS hospitalizations had a higher proportion of patients with intestinal transplantation (0.33% vs 0.22%, P < 0.0001), inpatient mortality (8.5% vs 1.4%, P < 0.0001), and mean length of stay (16.1 d vs 7.7 d, P < 0.0001) compared to the non-sepsis cohort. A younger age, female gender, White race, and presence of comorbidities such as anemia and depression were identified to be independent predictors of inpatient mortality for septic SBS hospitalizations. CONCLUSION Septic SBS hospitalizations had a rising trend between 2005-2014 and were associated with higher inpatient mortality compared to non-septic SBS hospitalizations.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that requires continuous medical treatment. To date, the medical management of patients with moderately-to-severely active IBD who develop dependence or resistance to corticosteroids is based on immunomodulator drugs. Such therapies are licenced after passing through three phases of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and are subsequently adopted in clinical practice. However, the real-life population of IBD patients who require these therapies can significantly differ from those included in RCTs. As a matter of fact, there is a number of exclusion criteria – nearly ubiquitous in all RCTs – that prevent the enrolment of specific patients: Chronic refractory pouchitis or isolated proctitis in ulcerative colitis, short-bowel syndrome and stomas in Crohn’s disease, ileorectal anastomosis in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and elderly age are some representative examples. In this frontier article, we aim to give an overview of current literature on this topic, in order to address the main knowledge gaps that need to be filled in the upcoming years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidity is an important predictor of how disease course in inflammatory bowel (IBD) evolves. AIMS To determine pre-diagnosis relative rates (RR) and post-diagnosis hazard ratios (HR) of component diseases of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in a cohort study of persons with IBD. METHODS The University of Manitoba IBD Epidemiology Database includes all Manitobans with IBD from 1 April 1984 through 31 March 2018 and matched controls. All outpatient physician claims and hospital discharge abstracts were searched for diagnostic codes for CCI component diseases. Some diseases were collapsed into one group such that we assessed 12 conditions. We report the RR of these conditions prior to IBD and the incidence of these diagnoses after IBD. Using Cox proportional hazards regression we report post-diagnosis HR. Confidence intervals were adjusted for Bonferroni correction. RESULTS The RR of cardiovascular diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, chronic pulmonary diseases, connective tissue disease/rheumatic diseases, renal disease, liver diseases, peptic ulcer disease, and cancer were all increased prior to diagnoses of IBD compared to controls. All comorbidities were increased post IBD diagnosis. The increased HR for dementia in persons with Crohn's disease was a concerning novel finding. The increased association with paraplegia/hemiplegia was unexpected. For all comorbidities, except diabetes, the age at diagnosis was younger in IBD than controls. CONCLUSIONS Persons with IBD have a higher comorbidity burden than persons without IBD. Optimal care plans for persons with IBD should include an assessment for other comorbidities that include just about every other organ system.
