AbstractPatients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunosuppressive and biologic therapies were largely excluded from SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine trials. We thus evaluated post-mRNA vaccination adverse events (AE) in 246 vaccinated adults with IBD participating in a longitudinal vaccine registry. In general, AE frequency was similar to that reported in the general population. As in the general population, AE were more common among younger patients, and those with prior COVID-19. We additionally found that AE were less common in individuals receiving biologic therapy. Those with IBD and other IMID on these commonly prescribed therapies can be reassured that the AE risk is likely not increased, and may be reduced, while on biologics.

Abstract Background Despite advances in medical therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), surgery is required in 50–80% of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and 20–30% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Given that fibrostenotic disease may be playing a primary role in patients undergoing resective surgery, practices around biologic administration in this setting need to be clarified. We aimed to describe the pre-operative trends in biologic utilisation for IBD patients undergoing resective surgery. Methods The University of Manitoba IBD Epidemiology Database was used to identify all persons with IBD who underwent resective surgery between April 2005 and 2018. Demographic data were extracted to explore the baseline characteristics of persons on biologic therapy prior to IBD resective surgery. Proportion calculations were used to assess how often a new biologic agent was initiated within 3, 6, and 12 months prior to resective surgery. Results were stratified by type of IBD (UC vs. CD) and disease duration (<3 or ≥3 years) for incident cases. Results A total of 1412 IBD-related resective surgeries were identified from April 2005 to 2018. 67.1% of resective surgeries were performed for CD and 32.9% for UC. Results of analysis are presented below: Conclusion Overall, in Manitoba, rates of biologic initiation or re-start in the pre-operative period for IBD resective surgery are relatively small. Biologic therapy was initiated or re-started more frequently for CD than UC, and when disease duration was less than 3 years. This is reassuring and suggests that physicians are rarely choosing to initiate biologic therapy in futile situations. Work should be performed to see if these findings can be replicated in other practice settings.

Objective.The natural history of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with joint involvement has not been clearly described. Thus, we aimed to investigate phenotypic features and clinical outcomes of this distinct association.Methods.The medical records of patients with pediatric IBD diagnosed from 2000 to 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Main outcome measures included time to first flare, hospitalization, surgery, and biologic therapy.Results.Of 301 patients with Crohn disease (median age 14.2 yrs), 37 (12.3%) had arthritis while 44 (14.6%) had arthralgia at diagnosis. Arthritis and arthralgia were more common in women (p = 0.028). Patients with arthritis and arthralgia demonstrated lower rates of perianal disease (2.7% and 4.5% vs 16.9%, p = 0.013), whereas patients with arthritis were more likely to be treated with biologic therapy (HR 2.05, 95% CI 1.27–3.33, p = 0.009). Of 129 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC; median age 13.7 yrs), 3 (2.3%) had arthritis and 16 (12.4%) had arthralgia at diagnosis. Patients with arthralgia were treated more often with corticosteroids (p = 0.03) or immunomodulator therapies (p = 0.003) compared with those without joint involvement. The likelihood to undergo colectomy was significantly higher in patients with arthralgia (HR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1–7.4, p = 0.04). During followup (median 9.0 yrs), 13 patients developed arthritis (3.3%). Arthralgia at diagnosis was a significant predictor for the development of arthritis during followup (HR 9.0, 95% CI 2.86–28.5, p < 0.001).Conclusion.Pediatric IBD patients with arthritis have distinct phenotypic features. Arthralgia at diagnosis is a predictor for colectomy in UC and a risk factor for the development of arthritis during followup.

AbstractI.Background and AimsLower gastrointestinal endoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and staging of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). However, there is limited safety data in pregnant populations, resulting in conservative society guidelines and practice patterns favoring diagnostic delay. The aim of this study is to investigate if the performance of flexible sigmoidoscopy is associated with adverse events in pregnant patients with known or suspected IBD.II.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) between April 2008 and April 2019. Female patients aged between 18 and 48 years who were pregnant at the time of endoscopy were identified. All patient records were reviewed to determine disease, pregnancy course, and lifestyle factors. Two independent reviewers performed the data abstraction. Adverse events were assessed for temporal relation (defined as within 4 weeks) with endoscopy. Any discrepancies in the two reviewers’ data were reviewed by a third independent investigator. Descriptive statistics of data were calculated, and comparison of continuous and categorical data were made using a one-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Fisher’s exact test, respectively.III.ResultsWe report the outcomes of 48 pregnant patients across all trimesters who underwent lower endoscopy for suspected or established IBD. There were no hospitalizations or adverse obstetric events temporally associated with sigmoidoscopy. 78% of patients experienced a change in treatment following sigmoidoscopy. 12% of the patients with known IBD were found to have no endoscopic evidence of disease activity despite symptoms.IV.ConclusionsLower endoscopy in the pregnant patient with known or suspected IBD is low risk and affects therapeutic decision making. It should not be delayed in patients with appropriate indications.
