An association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been suggested. The purpose of this study was to compare the disease course of patients with both MS and IBD with that of patients with isolated MS or isolated IBD. Sixty-six MS-IBD patients were identified and were matched with 251 isolated MS and 257 isolated IBD controls. Main outcomes were scores using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) in MS and extent of disease extension in IBD at last clinical evaluation. After a median 12 years of disease duration, the median EDSS and the percentages of patients reaching an EDSS of 3.0 and 4.0 were significantly lower in MS-IBD patients than in controls. MS had no impact on IBD. MS course appears to be milder in patients with concomitant IBD.

Abstract Background Previous studies comparing inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) features between migrant and native patients have shown clinical phenotype differences. To date, no study has focused on IBD immigrants(MP) in Spain. The aim of this study was to explore the features of MP in Spain and to compare age of disease onset, IBD phenotype and therapeutic requirements with native-born IBD patients(NP). Methods This was an observational, multicentric and case-control study of the nationwide ENEIDA registry. We selected all IBD patients who were born outside of Spain and compared with a control cohort of NP. All included patients were diagnosed with IBD before 2015. Results A total of 13,524 patients were included(1864 MP and 11660 NP).The most prevalent ethnic migrant group was Caucasian(771, 41%), followed by Latin American(572, 31%) and Arabian(341,18%), whereas Asian represented only 6%. Table 1 summarizes the demographic and phenotypic features. 71% of MP were diagnosed with IBD in Spain. There was not a gender predisposition to IBD in the overall migrant group, however more female UC MP were detected compared to UC NP(52 % vs 45%, p<0.001). MP were younger at the onset of the disease and had a shorter disease duration compared to NP, in both UC and CD patients. Significantly more CD patients were diagnosed under 16 years(A1) among MP, and more patients over 40 years(A3) among NB. More NB patients had CD stricturing phenotype(24% vs 19%, p=0,002) compared to MP. Disease extension in CD and UC did not differ between groups. The overall proportion of abdominal or perianal surgery was similar in both groups but the use of biologic therapy was more common in MP(36% vs 30%, p=0,001). Conclusion In the largest cohort of migrant IBD patients in Spain, immigrants were younger, had a shorter disease duration and required a higher use of biologics than natives, pointing phenotypic differences in this population and a universal access to the healthcare system all over the country.

AbstractIn the search for improved stool biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), an aptamer-based screen of 1129 stool proteins was conducted using stool samples from an IBD cohort. Here we report that of the 20 proteins subsequently validated by ELISA, stool Ferritin, Fibrinogen, Haptoglobin, Hemoglobin, Lipocalin-2, MMP-12, MMP-9, Myeloperoxidase, PGRP-S, Properdin, Resistin, Serpin A4, and TIMP-1 are significantly elevated in both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) compared to controls. When tested in a longitudinal cohort of 50 UC patients at 4 time-points, fecal Fibrinogen, MMP-8, PGRP-S, and TIMP-2 show the strongest positive correlation with concurrent PUCAI and PGA scores and are superior to fecal calprotectin. Unlike fecal calprotectin, baseline stool Fibrinogen, MMP-12, PGRP-S, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 can predict clinical remission at Week-4. Here we show that stool proteins identified using the comprehensive aptamer-based screen are superior to fecal calprotectin alone in disease monitoring and prediction in IBD.

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.

Treg modulation has been hypothesized as one of the mechanisms by which antitumor necrosis factorα(TNFα) agents exert their action in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, data in IBD are still conflicting. We evaluated CD4+CD25+FOXP3+(Tregs) by flow cytometry in peripheral blood from 32 adult IBD patient before (T0) and after the induction of anti-TNFαtherapy (T1). Eight healthy controls (HCs) were included. We also evaluated the number of FOXP3+cells in the lamina propria (LP) in biopsies taken in a subset of patients and controls. Treg frequencies were significantly increased in peripheral blood from our patients after anti-TNFαtherapy compared to T0. T1 but not T0 levels were higher than HC. The increase was detectable only in clinical responders to the treatment. A negative correlation was found among delta Treg levels and the age of patients or disease duration and with the activity score of Crohn’s disease (CD). No significant differences were found in LP FOXP3+cells. Our data suggest the possibility that in IBD patients the treatment with anti-TNFαmay affect Treg percentages and that Treg modifications may correlate with clinical response, but differently in early versus late disease.

Although neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is known to be a more severe disease than relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), few studies comparing both conditions in a single center have been done.Methods:Comparison of our previously published cohort of 41 NMO patients with 177 RRMS patients followed in the same center, from 1994 to 2007.Results:Mean age of onset was 32.6 for NMO and 30.2 for RRMS (p=0.2062) with mean disease duration of 7.4 years for NMO and 10.3 years for RRMS. Patients with NMO had a higher annualized relapse rate (1.0 versus 0.8, p=0.0013) and progression index (0.9 versus 0.6, p≪0.0001), with more patients reaching expanded disability status scale (EDSS) 6.0 (39 versus 17%, p=0.0036). The odds ratio for reaching EDSS 6.0 and being deceased due to NMO in comparison to RRMS were, respectively, 3.14 and 12.15.Conclusion:Patients with NMO have a more severe disease than patients with RRMS, including higher risk of dying of a demyelinating disease.
