Abstract Background Both infliximab (IFX) and vedolizumab (VDZ) are approved for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in adults. VDZ is gut-specific and thought to be less effective in controlling extraintestinal manifestations than IFX. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence and timing of arthralgias between IFX and VDZ. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of bio-naïve adult patients treated with IFX or VDZ for ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) at a large multicenter gastroenterology private practice. Patients were case-matched 1:1 based on age, gender, diagnosis, and baseline disease severity using the partial Mayo (pMayo) for UC and the modified Harvey-Bradshaw Index (mHBI) for CD. Arthralgias were captured out to 12 months of therapy and classified as pre-existing or new-onset based on time to occurrence. Those with pre-existing arthralgias were excluded from new-onset arthralgias analyses. Rates of arthralgias and time to new-onset arthralgias were compared between IFX and VDZ patients. Results A total of 77 IFX (58 UC, 19 CD) and 77 VDZ (58 UC, 19 CD) case-matched pairs were generated. Baseline demographics were similar between IFX and VDZ groups: mean age 45±16.9 vs 46±16.2, male gender 60% vs 61%. Rates of pre-existing arthralgias were 13/77 (17%) and 12/77 (16%) in IFX and VDZ cohorts (p=0.83), respectively. Resolution of pre-existing arthralgias was also similar between groups (6/13 vs 7/12, p=0.70). Of the remaining 64 IFX and 65 VDZ patients without arthralgias at baseline, 16 (25%) IFX patients and 17 (26%) VDZ patients experienced new-onset arthralgias (p=1.0). Median time to new-onset arthralgias was 5.0 (IQR 3.4–7.0) months in IFX patients, compared to 3.3 (IQR 1.4–5.3) months in VDZ patients (p=0.15). While VDZ patients appeared to develop new-onset arthralgias earlier, this was not significant (p=0.20) [Figure 1]. Of note, two IFX patients discontinued therapy due to suspected drug-induced lupus with arthralgias; there were no VDZ discontinuations due to arthralgias. Conclusions Our data suggests that resolution of pre-existing arthralgias and new-onset arthralgias are similar, despite the gut selectivity of VDZ compared to IFX. Additionally, there was no difference in overall time to new-onset arthralgias. These data need to be verified in a larger cohort.

Abstract Background Elevated transaminases can occur in up to 17 per cent of cases of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)1, with many cases related to concurrent autoimmune conditions of the liver. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is the most common autoimmune disease of the liver that is associated with IBD. Other causes of liver inflammation in patients with IBD can include Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH). Aims We aim to report a case of new onset ulcerative colitis in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis type 1 in the absence of concomitant PSC. Methods Case report and review of literature. Results A 25-year-old male with painless jaundice and was found to have Autoimmune hepatitis type 1 with typical morphological changes, positive Antinuclear antibodies and elevated IgG levels. Histopathological exam of the liver did not show any direct changes to the bile ducts to suggest PSC. The patient was started on steroids and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) and developed new onset diarrhea. Colonoscopy was performed and both endoscopic and pathological findings were suggestive of likely inflammatory bowel disease, although drug induced colitis (MMF) could not be excluded. Conclusions We conclude that there is a link between autoimmune hepatitis with IBD, in absence of concomitant PSC. Funding Agencies None

Abstract Background The relationship between older age and extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unknown. Aims This study aims to determine whether older age is associated with increased risk of EIMs in IBD patients. Methods This was a retrospective study of IBD patients seen at the McMaster University Medical Centre, in Hamilton, ON, Canada from 2012–2020. Patients were identified to have the primary outcome of interest if their gastroenterologist documented the presence of any EIM either during the baseline assessment or during the period of follow up. The independent variable, age at start of follow-up, was dichotomized into two categories age >=40 vs. <40.Prior knowledge in combination with forward selection was used to develop a logistic regression model. The variables utilized for the forward selection model included gender, disease duration, and current biologic use. Results A total of 995 IBD patients (625 with CD) were considered for the regression analysis, all for whom the EIM status was recorded. Out of the 995 patients, 270 patients reported at least one EIM – 99 with arthritis/arthralgia, 79 with dermatologic manifestations, 16 with ophthalmic manifestations, 30 with liver manifestations, and 116 with other EIMs. A univariate regression analysis foundincreased odds of EIMs in older patientsas compared to younger patients (odds ratio (OR) 1.41 (95% CI, 1.05 – 1.89)). In the multivariate regression analysis, current biologic use was found to have a significant relationship with odds of having EIMs (OR 1.49; 95% CI, 1.06 – 2.09). After adjustment for biologic use, patients aged 40 or over had 1.46 times higher odds of having EIMs (95% CI 1.03 – 2.05). A sub-analysis of individual EIM categoriesdid not show a significant association with older age. Conclusions Older age is associated with increased risk of EIMs in IBD patients. Patients with EIMs were also more likely to be treated with biological therapies. Clinicians should inquire about the presence of EIMs in older IBD patients. Funding Agencies None

Abstract Background Anemia is a common extraintestinal manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affecting negatively the patients’ quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and real-life management of anemia in IBD patients in Greece. Methods This study was conducted in 17 Greek IBD referral centers. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, IBD and anemia treatment data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 1394 IBD patients [560 ulcerative colitis (UC), 834 Crohn’s disease (CD)] were enrolled. Anemia at any time was reported in 687 (49.3%) patients of whom 413 (29.6%) had episodic and 274 (19.7%) had recurrent/persistent anemia. Anemia was diagnosed before IBD in 45 (6.5%), along with IBD in 269 (39.2%) and after IBD in 373 (54.3%) patients. In the multivariate analysis the presence of extraintestinal manifestations (p = 0.0008), IBD duration (p = 0.026), IBD related surgeries and hospitalizations (p = 0.026 and p = 0.004 accordingly) were risk factors of recurrent/persistent anemia. Serum ferritin was measured in 839 (60.2%) IBD patients. Among anemic patients, 535 (77.9%) received treatment. Iron supplementation was administered in 485 (90.6%) patients, oral in 142 (29.3%) and intravenous in 393 (81%). Conclusions The frequency of anemia in IBD patients, followed at Greek referral centers, is approximately 50%. Development of recurrent/persistent anemia may be observed in 20% of cases and is independently associated with the presence of extraintestinal manifestations, IBD duration, IBD related surgeries and hospitalizations. Anemia treatment is administered in up to $$4/5$$ 4 / 5 of anemia IBD patients with the majority of them receiving iron intravenously.

Abstract Background Drug use in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) might negatively impact lipid levels. In this study, we assessed drug-induced changes in the lipid profile after IBD induction therapy. Methods In this single center, prospective study IBD patients aged ≥17 years who started systemic drug therapy (corticosteroids, thiopurines, methotrexate, infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab and tofacitinib) for IBD were included. Exclusion criteria were pregnancy, history of liver transplantation and use of lipid lowering drugs. Data on cardiovascular risk profile, disease activity (HBI, SCCAI, CRP, FCP) and concomitant medication use were collected. To calculate mean lipid changes after induction therapy, nonfasting lipid levels (total cholesterol (TC), HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides (TG)) were measured before and 8–10 weeks after start of therapy. Pearson correlation test was performed to assess the association between lipid changes and CRP. Results A total of 183 patients (87 males (48%), median age 36 years (IQR 28–48), 128 Crohn’s disease (70%), 46 CU (3%), 9 IBD-U (7%)) were included. (Table 1) Fourty-nine patients were on concomitant steroids at baseline (31%). Relative increases in TC, HDL-c and LDL-c were significant after treatment with corticosteroids and tofacitinib (+9%, +17%, +8% and +19%, +29%, +24%, respectively) and decrease in TG after treatment with corticosteroids, thiopurines, infliximab, adalimumab, ustekinumab and tofacitinib (-9%, -14%, -10%, -8%, -11%, -8%, respectively). (Table 2, Figure 1) A significant inverse relationship was found between CRP and TC (R -.171), HDL-c (R -.202), LDL-c (R -.153) but not with TG. Conclusion Serum lipid levels increased most after start of corticosteroids and tofacitinib as compared to other drug therapies. Whether these changes are explained by the control of inflammation or by the mechanism of action of these agents remains undetermined.
