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.

We investigated the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) using the claims data of the Korean National Health Insurance during 2006–2015. The data of 13,739 and 40,495 individuals with and without CD, respectively, were analyzed. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression tests. CRC developed in 25 patients (0.18%) and 42 patients (0.1%) of the CD and non-CD groups, respectively. The HR of CRC in the CD group was 2.07 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.25–3.41). The HRs of CRC among men and women were 2.02 (95% CI 1.06–3.87) and 2.10 (95% CI, 0.96–4.62), respectively. The HRs of CRC in the age groups 0–19, 20–39, 40–59, and ≥60 years were 0.07, 4.86, 2.32, and 0.66, respectively. The HR of patients with late-onset CD (≥40 years) was significantly higher than that of those with early-onset CD (<40 years). CD patients were highly likely to develop CRC. Early-onset CD patients were significantly associated with an increased risk of CRC than matched individuals without CD. However, among CD patients, late-onset CD was significantly associated with an increased risk of CRC.

Abstract Enteral nutrition (EN) is effective in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients and has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on loss of response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha antibody therapy; however, the current level of evidence is not sufficient. The objective of this meta-analysis was to determine whether EN in combination anti-TNF-alpha antibody therapy is useful in maintaining remission. PubMed was used to identify all relevant studies. A total of nine articles were identified including one randomized control trial, two prospective cohort studies, and six retrospective cohort studies. We performed a meta-analysis on all these articles to assess the remission maintenance effect of EN (n = 857). The remission or response maintenance effect in the EN group was 203/288 (70.5%), which was higher than 306/569 (53.8%) in the non-EN group. The odds ratio for long-term remission or response using fixed effects model and random effects model were 2.23 (95% CI 1.60–3.10) and 2.19 (95% CI 1.49–3.22), respectively. The usefulness of EN was unclear in two prospective studies that were conducted immediately after remission induction with anti-TNF-alpha antibody therapy was detected. Differences in the definition of relapse and the observation period among articles were considered to be limitations. This analysis suggests that EN is effective for maintaining remission in patients already in remission or response as a result of anti-TNF-alpha antibody maintenance therapy.

Abstract Background and Aims We aimed to quantify the magnitude of the association between endoscopic recurrence and clinical recurrence [symptom relapse] in patients with postoperative Crohn’s disease. Methods Databases were searched to October 2, 2020 for randomised controlled trials [RCTs] and cohort studies of adult patients with Crohn’s disease with ileocolonic resection and anastomosis. Summary effect estimates for the association between clinical recurrence and endoscopic recurrence were quantified by risk ratios [RR] and 95% confidence intervals [95% CI]. Mixed-effects meta-regression evaluated the role of confounders. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the relationship between these outcomes as endpoints in RCTs. An exploratory mixed-effects meta-regression model with the logit of the rate of clinical recurrence as the outcome and the rate of endoscopic recurrence as a predictor was also evaluated. Results Thirty-seven studies [N=4053] were included. For 8 RCTs with available data, the RR for clinical recurrence for patients who experienced endoscopic recurrence was 10.77 [95% CI 4.08-28.40; GRADE moderate certainty evidence]; the corresponding estimate from 11 cohort studies was 21.33 [95% CI 9.55-47.66; GRADE low certainty evidence]. A single cohort study showed a linear relationship between Rutgeerts score and clinical recurrence risk. There was a strong correlation between endoscopic recurrence and clinical recurrence treatment effect estimates as trial outcomes [weighted Spearman correlation coefficient 0.51]. Conclusions The associations between endoscopic recurrence and subsequent clinical recurrence lend support to the choice of endoscopic recurrence to monitor postoperative disease activity and as a primary endpoint in clinical trials of postoperative Crohn’s disease.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Variants in the interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) and the autophagy-related 16-like 1 (ATG16L1) genes have been associated with an increased risk of Crohn’s disease (CD). Both genes were identified through genome-wide association scans and subsequent studies have validated these associations. To assess the effect size of these variants, an independent case-control association study and meta-analysis were performed.METHODS: British Caucasian subjects with inflammatory bowel disease (n=500) and 877 ethnically matched controls were genotyped for the disease-associated variants inIL23RandATG16L1. In addition, meta-analyses of 12,991 patients and 14,598 controls, and 11,909 patients and 15,798 controls, were conducted on independently published data for the associations betweenIL23RandATG16L1variants and CD, respectively.RESULTS: In the present cohort, both susceptibility variants showed highly significant associations, includingIL23R(rs11209026, P=0.0006; OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.21 to 0.67) andATG16L1(rs2241880, P=0.0017; OR 1.36; 95% CI 1.12 to 1.66). The meta-analysis based on the random effects model showed similar combined effects for rs11209026 (n=26, OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.37 to 0.46) and rs2241880 (n=25, OR 1.33; 95% CI 1.28 to 1.39). There was no statistically significant gene-gene interaction between caspase recruitment domain (CARD15) variants and theIL23RorATG16L1polymorphisms (P=0.44 and P=0.24, respectively).CONCLUSION: The present cohort and meta-analysis provides strong evidence that, in addition toCARD15, polymorphisms in bothIL23RandATG16L1alter susceptibility to CD and that these effects are consistent across all populations of European ancestry; however, onlyATG16L1is relevant to inflammatory bowel disease in the Asian population.

Background: Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) are at increased risk of co-occurring immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). As discrepancy exists regarding the phenotypic presentation of CD among patients with such co-occurring IMIDs, we aimed to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis characterizing the phenotype of CD among this subgroup of patients. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched from their earliest records to October 2019 for studies reporting the behavior and localization of CD according to the Vienna or Montreal Classifications and CD-related surgery in patients with co-occurring IMIDs. These studies were the subject of a random effect meta-analysis. Results: After reviewing 24,413 studies, we identified a total of 23 studies comprising 1572 and 35,043 CD patients with and without co-occurring IMIDs, respectively, that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Overall, patients with co-occurring IMIDs were more likely to have upper gastrointestinal inflammation than were patients without co-occurring IMIDs [relative risk (RR) = 1.49 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09–2.04), p = 0.01, I2 = 7%]. In addition, presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) was associated with a lower occurrence of ileal affection [RR = 0.44 (95% CI 0.24–0.81), p < 0.01, I2 = 32%], increased occurrence of colonic affection [RR = 1.78 (95% CI 1.33–2.38), p < 0.01, I2 = 32%] and an increased likelihood of non-stricturing and non-penetrating behavior [RR = 1.43 (95% CI 0.97–2.11), p = 0.07, I2 = 86%]. The latter reached significance when cumulating different IMIDs [RR = 1.30 (95% CI 1.09–1.55), p < 0.01, I2 = 88%]. CD patients with PSC also underwent fewer CD-related surgeries [RR = 0.55 (95% CI 0.34–0.88), p = 0.01, I2 = 0%], irrespective of CD location or behavior. Conclusion: This study emphasizes that CD patients with co-existing PSC are likely to have a unique inflammatory distribution primarily confined to the colon, while patients with IMIDs in general have higher likelihood of affection of upper gastrointestinal tract and a non-stricturing and non-penetrating behavior. As such a phenotype of CD is typically associated with a milder disease course; future studies are needed to confirm these results.
