Abstract Introduction and goals Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients may have an increased risk of neoplasia due to IBD itself or its therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of malignant neoplasia in IBD patients in a portuguese hospital, the associated risk factors and the therapy adjustments made. Methods Unicentric retrospective cohort study. All patients followed for IBD in a tertiary portuguese hospital and oncological center during 2015–2020 were included. Demographic and clinical data were registered. Results A total of 318 patients were included: female n=175(55.0%), age at diagnosis=37.24(±15,28)years-old, Crohn’s disease (CD) n=168(52.8%), Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis n=7, family history of cancer n=12, previous diagnosis of neoplasia n=23(7.2%), smokers n=49 (15.4%). A total of 42 cancers were diagnosed in 36 patients (11.3%) - median of 12.0(IQR=8.0–21.0) years after IBD diagnosis. Most affected organs: skin (n=15 in 11 patients; melanoma=1), colon and rectum (n=8 in 6 patients), prostate (n=4), breast (n=3) and anal canal (n=2). In those with non-melanoma skin cancer, 6 patients were under active treatment with azathioprine and 2 had stopped it for more than two years. In both univariate/multivariate analysis, the occurrence of neoplasia was associated with tobacco exposure (p=0.0.29/p=0.004), age (p<0.001/p=0,003) and IBD duration (p=0.001/p=0.017). There was no association with IBD therapy. In 9 cases, the cancer treatment was different because of the IBD (type of surgery n=6, drugs used n=2, radiotherapy not used n=1); IBD treatment was changed in 9 patients; clinical remission was lost in 1 patient in whom azathioprine treatment was halted after cancer. In the last follow-up, 3 patients remained with active oncological disease and 5 had died, 3 of which with active cancer. In those affected by cancer, in the univariate analysis, its cure/remission was negatively associated with tobacco exposure (p=0.003) and positively with salicylates use (p=0.016) and IBD remission before cancer diagnosis (p=0.008). In the multivariate analysis, the statistical significance was lost. Overall survival was lower in smokers with or without neoplasia (p<0.001) and in those who developped cancer (p=0.003). Conclusion In IBD patients, cancer mostly affected the skin and the lower digestive system. As in the general population, age and tobacco exposure were risk factors for the development of neoplasia. Tobacco is globally associated with lower survival rates and may be associated with a lower cure/remission rate, while salicylates and IBD remission may have a beneficial effect.

Abstract Background In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), nonadherence to biologic therapy increases risk of disease flare. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for nonadherence. Methods This was a single-center retrospective study evaluating patients with IBD treated at a tertiary care center and prescribed self-injectable biologic therapy using the center’s specialty pharmacy. Adherence was defined using medication possession ratio (MPR). Nonadherence was defined as MPR <0.86. Results Four hundred sixty patients (n = 393 with CD and n = 67 with UC) were evaluated with mean MPR (interquartile range) equaling 0.89 (0.48–1). Overall, 69% of patients were adherent (defined as MPR ≥0.86), 66% of patients with CD and 87% of patients with UC. In univariate analysis, several factors increased risk of nonadherence: CD diagnosis, insurance type, psychiatric history, smoking, prior biologic use, and narcotic use (P < 0.05). In multivariable analysis, Medicaid insurance (odds ratio [OR], 5.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.85–15.6) and CD diagnosis (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.3–6.0) increased risk of nonadherence. In CD, as the number of risk factors increased (narcotic use, psychiatric history, prior biologic use, and smoking), the probability of nonadherence increased. Adherence was 72% in patients with 0–1 risk factors, decreasing to 62%, 61%, and 42% in patients with 2, 3, and 4 risk factors, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusions This study identified risk factors for nonadherence to biologic therapy. In patients with CD, the probability of nonadherence increased as the number of risk factors increased.

Abstract Background Anastomotic leakage is one of the most serious postoperative complications of rectal cancer. Prophylactic ileostomy has been widely used to reduce the risk and severity of complications of anastomotic leakage. However, prophylactic ileostomy itself has some complications, and ileostomy high output syndrome (HOS) is one of them. This study was performed to explore the risk factors of HOS in ileostomy. Methods A total of 114 patients with HOS were screened out from 494 eligible ileostomy patients in the last 5 years. The relationship between HOS and the clinicopathological data was analyzed using the Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact probability. Multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression. Results The incidence of HOS was 23.07% in this study. Dehydration was the most common symptom of HOS (37.7%). There was no clear correlation between HOS occurrence with sex, age, gross typing, histological grade, tumor location, lymph node metastasis, and TNM stage (p > 0.05). The incidence of HOS was 14/18 in inflammatory bowel disease patients, 18/28 in diabetes mellitus patients, and 23/72 in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy patients, 13/17 in total colectomy and abdominal infection patients. Multivariate analysis showed that they are risk factors for HOS (p < 0.05). Conclusion HOS occurred occasionally but rarely studied and lacks attention. Inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus, neoadjuvant radiotherapy chemotherapy, total colectomy and abdominal infection are the risk factors for HOS.

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are at increased risk for developing extra-intestinal malignancies, mainly due to immunosuppressive medication. The risk of developing head and neck cancer in immunosuppressed transplant patients is increased. The relation between IBD patients and laryngeal cancer (LC) remains unclear. We aimed (1) to identify risk factors in IBD patients for LC development and (2) to compare clinical characteristics, outcome, and survival of LC in IBD patients with the general population. Methods All IBD patients with LC (1993–2011) were retrospectively identified using the Dutch Pathology Database. We performed 2 case–control studies: (1) to identify risk factors, we compared patients with IBD and LC (cases) with the general IBD population; (2) to analyze LC survival, we compared cases with controls from the general LC population. Results We included 55 cases, 1800 IBD controls, and 2018 LC controls. Cases were more frequently male compared with IBD controls (P &lt; 0.001). For ulcerative colitis (UC), cases were older at IBD diagnosis (P &lt; 0.001). Crohn’s disease (CD) cases were more frequently tobacco users (P &lt; 0.001) and more often had stricturing (P = 0.006) and penetrating (P = 0.008) disease. We found no survival difference. Immunosuppressive medication had no impact on survival. Conclusions Male sex was a risk factor for LC in IBD patients. Older age at IBD diagnosis was a risk factor for UC to develop LC. Tobacco use and stricturing and penetrating disease were risk factors for LC development in CD patients. Inflammatory bowel disease was not associated with impaired survival of LC. Immunosuppressive medication had no influence on survival.

Objective: To review the mechanism and association of infectious risk among the tumor-necrosis factor α (TNF-α) antagonists used in inflammatory bowel disease. Data Sources: A PubMed literature search was performed using the following search terms: infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab, golimumab, inflammatory bowel disease, crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, adverse effects, adverse events, safety, and infection. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Meta-analyses and cohort studies with outcomes pertaining to quantitative infectious risk were reviewed. Case reports and case series describing association between TNF-α inhibitors and infection were also reviewed. Data Synthesis: A total of 7 recent meta-analyses of randomized trials demonstrate inconclusive association of infection with TNF-α antagonists. Registry data suggest that medications carry an independent risk of opportunistic infections. Risk factors for infection include older age, malnutrition, diabetes, and possibly combination therapy. Reported infections vary widely but include intracellular and granulomatous bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Conclusion: TNF-α antagonists are associated with an increased risk of opportunistic infection, although this risk has not been demonstrated conclusively in randomized controlled trials. Knowledge of concomitant risk factors, mechanism of infectious risk, and available treatment options can improve patient care in the clinical setting.

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite aggressive treatment of traditional risk factors. Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of CVDs. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic state of inflammation exhibiting increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6. Importantly, IBD is associated with increased risk for CVDs especially in women and young adults, including coronary artery disease, stroke, thromboembolic diseases, and arrhythmias. Potential mechanisms underlying the increased risk for CVDs in IBD patients include increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, altered platelet function, hypercoagulability, decreased numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells, endothelial dysfunction, and possible interruption of gut microbiota. Although IBD does not appear to exacerbate the traditional risk factors for CVDs, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, aggressive risk stratifications are important for primary and secondary prevention of CVDs for IBD patients. Compared to 5-ASA and corticosteroids, anti-TNF-α therapy in IBD patients was consistently associated with decreasing cardiovascular events. In the absence of contraindications, low-dose aspirin and statins appear to be beneficial for IBD patients. Low-molecular-weight heparin is also recommended for patients who are hospitalized with acute IBD flares without major bleeding risk. A multidisciplinary team approach should be considered for the management of IBD patients.

Abstract Background Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) suffer from a chronic illness and many of them need immunosuppressive therapy throughout the course of the disease. Consequently, COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty about the possible increased risk of suffering SARS-CoV-2 infection that could confer IBD or its treatments. The aim of this study is to assess SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in patients with IBD as well as the existence of potential risk factors for its development. Methods This is a unicentric cross-sectional study developed in IBD unit of University Hospital “Lozano Blesa” of Zaragoza. Patients older than 18 years with established diagnosis of Crohn′s Disease (CD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Indeterminate Colitis (IC) have been included. A blood sample has been drawn from each patient to detect IgG against SARS-CoV-2 (ELISA method) and each patient has completed a questionnaire to know symptoms related to infection and previous comorbidity. We have performed a descriptive analysis and a univariate analysis to study relationship between potential risk factors and seroconversion against SARS-CoV-2. Results 431 patients have been included, with a mean age of 50.2 ± 14.1 years and a 51.3% of women. Of them, 49.7% suffer from UC, 49.2% CD and 1.2% IC. Related to the treatment, 23.5% receive anti-TNF biologic agents, 13.1% other kind of biologic agents, 9.3% immunomodulators, 7.7% combined treatment (biologic agent and immunomodulator), 33.1% other treatment and 13.3% no treatment. According to World Health Organization (WHO) definitions, 85.6% had not suffered the infection, 7.7% were confirmed cases (only 3 admitted patients) and 6.7% were probable cases. The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 obtained is 8.8%, being significantly higher among confirmed cases than among probable cases (71.0% in confirmed vs 6.9% in probable; RR 10.3; p&lt;0.001). A higher risk of seroconversion has been detected among patients without biologic agents (11.8% in patients without biologic agents vs 5.3% in patients with biologic agents; RR 2.2; p=0.021). No differences have been observed in the seroprevalence of patients with other treatments for IBD or in terms of age, active smoking, level of inflammation markers, the presence of symptoms of infection or hospital admission. Conclusion The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 of Aragon′s patients with IBD is similar to that described in national seroprevalence study of Ministry of Health for the region (8.8%). The treatment with biologic agents is associated with a lower risk of seroconversion

Abstract Introduction Traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease have been reported in around 85% patients who present with myocardial infarction. More recently, inflammation and immune mediated diseases have been associated with ischemic heart disease. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an immune mediated disorder which comprises of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Estimated prevalence of IBD in the United States in 2004 was 1.4 million people. These patients have an overall increased risk of thrombotic complications with microvascular thrombosis hypothesized to contribute in disease pathogenesis. Results from a recent meta-analysis were consistent with increased risk of ischemic heart disease among IBD patients, with risk greater in females and younger patients, although heterogeneity was considerable in overall data. Also, in a recent study, IBD was found to be associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction and heart failure despite lower prevalence of coronary risk factors in IBD patients. IBD pathogenesis involves sustained activation of immune responses with upregulation of cytokines including but not limited to IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Upregulation of these cytokines has also been reported in coronary atherosclerosis. Based on above information, we explored incidence of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Event) in this patient population from our health system data-base. Methods Propensity scores were estimated for all 15,292 (0.4%) patients with inflammatory bowel disease from a total patient pool of 3,917,894 patients in our health system to assemble a 1:1 matched cohort balanced for age, gender, race and known cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and smoking (current and former). ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to identify cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes. Results Matched patients (n=30,584) had a mean age of 51 years, with 58% of all being women, and 63% Caucasian. During the median follow up of 4.4 years all-cause mortality was observed in 1.7% and 1.2% of patients from IBD and non-IBD groups respectively (hazard ratio {HR}, 1.31; 95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.08–1.58; p=0.005). Combined outcome for myocardial infarction or all-cause mortality was noted in 4.1% and 3.4% from IBD and non-IBD groups respectively (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03–1.30; p=0.014) while HRs for cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction and unstable angina independently were 1.04 (0.74–1.47; p=0.833), 1.05 (0.89–1.23; p=0.591) and 1.10 (0.83–1.46; p=0.524) respectively. Conclusion Inflammatory bowel disease did not show association with myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality or unstable angina when matched for known cardiovascular risk factors, but was associated with increased all-cause mortality and combined end-point of all-cause mortality or myocardial infarction.

BackgroundPsychological morbidity in inflammatory bowel disease is common with significant impact on quality of life and health outcomes, but factors which predict the development of psychological morbidity are unclear.AimTo undertake a systematic literature review of the predictors of psychological morbidity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.MethodsElectronic searches for English-language articles were performed with keywords relating to psychological morbidity according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV and subsequent criteria, and inflammatory bowel disease; in MEDLINE, PsychInfo, Web of Science and EMBASE for studies published from January 1997 to 25 January 2019.ResultsOf 660 studies identified, seven met the inclusion criteria. All measured depression, with three also measuring anxiety. Follow-up duration was variable (median of 18 months range 6–96 months). Risk factors identified for development of psychological morbidity included physical factors: aggressive disease (HR 5.77, 95% CI 1.89 to 17.7) and greater comorbidity burden (OR 4.31, 95% CI 2.83 to 6.57) and psychological risk factors: degree of gratitude (r=−0.43, p<0.01) and parenting stress (R-change=0.03, F(1,58)=35.6, p<0.05). Age-specific risk was identified with young people (13–17 years) at increased risk.ConclusionsIdentifiable risks for the development of psychological morbidity in inflammatory bowel disease include physical and psychological factors. Further research is required from large prospective studies to enable early interventions in those at risk and reduce the impact of psychological morbidity.

Abstract Background The disease itself as well as immunomodulatory and biological therapy are risk factors for invasive bacterial infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, there are limited data on risk factors for bacteraemia in the general population of hospitalised patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of the study was to assess the rate of bacteraemia in hospitalised patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and risk factors. Methods An observational cohort of hospitalised patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, aged 23–65 years, from 2017 to 2019 in a large tertiary hospital localised in Rzeszow (south-eastern Poland). Patients with one or more positive blood culture were reviewed. Those with Carlson comorbidity index of 2 or greater were excluded. Basic descriptive statistic and logistic regression to evaluate risk factors for bacteraemia were used. Results Of 727 admitted patients, only 1.24% had bacteraemia (9/727) (8, Crohn’s Disease; 1, Ulcerative Colitis). The most common pathogens were Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRCNS - methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus - strain resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics: penicillins, penicillins with a B-lactamase inhibitor, cephalosporin and carbapenem) (4/9 patients) and Escherichia coli (3/9 patients). The mortality rate at 30 days of patients with bacteraemia was 0% (no deaths in IBD patients with bacteraemia observed). Longer hospitalisation (mean length of stay for patients with CD was 42 ± 33 vs. 7.95 ± 17.3, p &lt;0.001; mean length of stay for a patient with UC 15 ± 23 vs. 6.25 ± 15.4, p = 0.004) was associated with an increased risk of bacteraemia. Older age was not associated with an increased risk of bacteraemia (P&gt;0.05). In multivariate analysis, treatment with either anti-tumour necrosis factor α, purine analogues, steroids or amino salicylates was not associated with an increased risk of bacteraemia. Conclusion Prolonged hospitalisation, but not Inflammatory Bowel Disease-related treatment, is associated with an increased risk of bacteraemia in hospitalised patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
