AbstractBackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer. Recent reports suggesting IBD is also a risk factor for prostate cancer (PC) require further investigation.ObjectiveTo test the association between IBD with incident PC.Design, setting, and participantsWe studied 218,084 men in the population-based UK Biobank cohort, aged 40-69 at study entry between 2006 and 2010, with follow-up through mid-2015.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisWe assessed the association between IBD and subsequent PC using multivariable Cox regression analyses, adjusting for age at assessment, ethnic group, UK region, smoking status, alcohol drinking frequency, body mass index, Townsend Deprivation Index, family history of prostate cancer, and previous prostate-specific antigen testing.Results and limitationsMean age at study entry was 56 years, 94% of the men were white, and 1.1% (n=2,311) had a diagnosis of IBD. After a median follow-up of 78 months, men with IBD had an increased risk of PC (adjusted hazards ratio [aHR] = 1.31, 95% Confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-1.67, p = 0.029). Separately analyzing the IBD subtypes of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), the association with PC was only among men with the former (UC; aHR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.11-1.95, p=0.0070), and not the latter (CD; aHR 1.06, 95% CI = 0.63-1.80, p = 0.82). Results are limited by lack of data on frequency of health care interactions.ConclusionsIn a large-scale, prospective cohort study, we detected an association between IBD, and UC specifically, with incident PC diagnosis.Patient summaryThis study of over 200,000 men in the UK suggests that men with inflammatory bowel disease may be at a higher risk of prostate cancer than the general population.

Background—A population based epidemiological study identified all the patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) resident in the Florence area in the period 1978–1992.Aims—To assess the mortality of unselected patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a Mediterranean country.Methods—Overall, 920 patients (689 UC and 231 CD) were followed until death or end of follow up (31 December 1996). Information on vital status was available for all except eight patients (0.9%); 70 deaths were identified (23 in patients with CD and 47 in patients with UC). Expected deaths were estimated on the basis of five year age group, gender, and calendar year national mortality rates. Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.Results—General mortality was significantly lower than expected in UC (SMR 0.6; 95% confidence interval 0.4 to 0.8), due to a reduced number of cardiovascular and, possibly, smoking related deaths. Cancers of the respiratory tract were significantly reduced in UC but tended to be increased in patients with CD. These latter patients had not only an increased cancer mortality but also a 40% increased risk of dying for all causes already evident in the first five year follow up period and persisting thereafter. In contrast, in patients with UC, SMRs were initially very low but tended to increase steadily over the follow up period. Gastrointestinal deaths were particularly increased in patients with CD, but only moderately in those with UC. Overall, there was some evidence of a twofold increased mortality for colorectal cancer, the risk being highest for rectal cancers in patients with UC. A non-significant excess of deaths due to haemolymphopoietic malignancies and suicides was also observed.Conclusions—This study, the first in a Mediterranean country, supports the existence of two divergent mortality patterns for patients with UC and CD, possibly explained by differences in smoking habits and by a greater severity of CD.

The association of diabetes with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. The risk of diabetes in patients with IBD compared with non-IBD controls was investigated. Using the National Health Insurance database of South Korea, 8070 patients with IBD based on the International Classification of Disease 10th revision (ICD-10) codes and rare intractable disease codes for Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) were compared with 40,350 non-IBD individuals (2010–2014). Newly diagnosed diabetes identified using ICD-10 codes and the prescription of anti-diabetic medication by the end of the follow-up period (2016) was investigated. During a mean follow-up of 5.1 years, the incidence of diabetes in patients with IBD was significantly higher compared with controls after adjusting for serum glucose levels and steroid use (23.19 vs. 22.02 per 1000 person-years; hazard ratio (HR), 1.135; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.048–1.228). The risk of diabetes was significantly higher in patients with CD (HR, 1.677; 95% CI, 1.408–1.997), but not in UC (HR, 1.061; 95% CI, 0.973–1.156). The effect of IBD on the development of diabetes was significantly more prominent in younger patients (p < 0.001). Patients with CD are at a higher risk of diabetes. Regular monitoring for diabetes is recommended, even in younger CD patients who do not use steroid medication.

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 &gt;=40 vs. &lt;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

Summary Background: There is an impression mostly from specialty clinics that patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of venous thromboembolic disorders. Our aim was to determine the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) from a population-based database of IBD patients and, to compare the incidence rates to that of an age, gender and geographically matched population control group. Methods: IBD patients identified from the administrative claims data of the universal provincial insurance plan of Manitoba were matched 1:10 to randomly selected members of the general population without IBD by year, age, gender, and postal area of residence using Manitoba Health’s population registry. The incidence of hospitalization for DVT and PE was calculated from hospital discharge abstracts using ICD-9-CM codes 451.1, 453.x for DVT and 415.1x for PE. Rates were calculated based on person-years of follow-up for 1984-1997. Comparisons to the population cohort yielded age-adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRR). Rates were calculated based on person-years of follow-up (Crohn’s disease = 21,340, ulcerative colitis = 19,665) for 1984-1997. Results: In Crohn’s disease the incidence rate of DVT was 31.4/10,000 person-years and of PE was 10.3/10,000 person-years. In ulcerative colitis the incidence rates were 30.0/10,000 person-years for DVT and 19.8/10,000 person-years for PE. The IRR was 4.7 (95% CI, 3.5-6.3) for DVT and 2.9 (1.8-4.7) for PE in Crohn’s disease and 2.8 (2.1-3.7) for DVT and 3.6 (2.5-5.2) for PE, in ulcerative colitis. There were no gender differences for IRR. The highest rates of DVT and PE were seen among patients over 60 years old; however the highest IRR for these events were among patients less than 40 years. Conclusion: IBD patients have a threefold increased risk of developing DVT or PE.
