Abstract Background Our knowledge of the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is uncertain. Recent studies reported an increase in prevalence. However, they excluded a high proportion of ambiguous cases from general practice. Estimates are needed to inform health care providers who plan the provision of services for IBD patients. We aimed to estimate the IBD incidence and prevalence in UK general practice. Methods We undertook a retrospective cohort study of routine electronic health records from the IQVIA Medical Research Database covering 14 million patients. Adult patients from 2006 to 2016 were included. IBD was defined as an IBD related Read code or record of IBD specific medication. Annual incidence and 12-month period prevalence were calculated. Results The prevalence of IBD increased between 2006 and 2016 from 106.2 (95% CI 105.2–107.3) to 142.1 (95% CI 140.7–143.5) IBD cases per 10,000 patients which is a 33.8% increase. Incidence varied across the years. The incidence across the full study period was 69.5 (95% CI 68.6–70.4) per 100,000 person years. Conclusions In this large study we found higher estimates of IBD incidence and prevalence than previously reported. Estimates are highly dependent on definitions of disease and previously may have been underestimated.

Abstract Background Patients living with chronic illnesses require long-term and often repeated interactions with the healthcare system. inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an incurable, chronic gastrointestinal disease which frequently flares and remits. The nurse navigator (NN) serves as the point of first contact for IBD connecting patients with their multidisciplinary care team in order to facilitate and expedite assessment, treatment and navigation through the healthcare system with the goal of improving disease-related outcomes while reducing healthcare system burden. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of implementation of an IBD NN role within a multidisciplinary IBD Medical home on access to care, disease-related outcomes, patient satisfaction with care, and healthcare resource use. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study comparing an IBD patient population that had access to a 24/7 NN-led helpline to a reference population who did not have access to such a service. Data between August 2017 and October 2019 were extracted from patient charts. Distribution of the number of flares and time to clinical assessment between the NN exposed cohort and a non-NN exposed cohort are planned using multivariate analysis. This is a preliminary description of the NN-exposed cohort only. Results Preliminary results identified a total of 643 patients in the NN-exposed cohort. The majority of our NN-exposed population were female (64.3%). The mean age was 46.42 ± 16.86 years. Sixty-five per cent of patients had CD, 33% UC and 2% IBDU. Of the 729 calls extracted, care coordination (39%) was the most frequent indication for calls followed by flare (25%), and medication education (16%). Patients made the majority (52.8%) of calls compared with NN initiated calls (47.2%). The mean number of calls per patient was 2.64 ± 2.51 (range 1–18) during the study period. Time to clinic assessment post flare call was on average 10.22 ± 8.51 days. Conclusion These results are descriptive of the NN-exposed cohort. Data comparing outcomes amongst the NN-exposed cohort to the non-exposed cohort will be presented at ECCO.

Abstract Background The elderly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population has historically been under-represented in clinical trials, and data on the efficacy of biologic medications in elderly IBD patients are generally lacking. Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of vedolizumab (VDZ) among elderly IBD patients and compare it with younger IBD patients in a nationwide population-based cohort of IBD patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients within the US national Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VAHS). Patients were stratified into 2 groups based on age at the time of starting VDZ (60 years of age and older or younger than 60 years of age) with outcomes compared between the 2 groups. The primary outcome was steroid-free remission during the 6- to 12-month period after starting VDZ therapy among those patients who were on steroids when VDZ was started. Results There were 568 patients treated with VDZ, of whom 56.7% had Crohn’s disease and 43.3% had ulcerative colitis. Among them, 316 patients were on steroids when VDZ was started. The percentage of patients who were on VDZ and off steroids during the 6- to 12-month period after VDZ initiation was 46.8% and 40.1% for the younger and elderly groups, respectively (P = 0.2374). Rates of hospitalization for an IBD-related reason within 1 year of VDZ start among the whole cohort were nearly identical in the younger and elderly groups (11.2% vs 11.3%, P = 0.9737). Rates of surgery for an IBD-related reason within 1 year of VDZ start were also similar between the young and elderly (3.9% vs 3.9%, P = 0.9851). Conclusions In a nationwide real-world retrospective cohort study of elderly IBD patients, we found that the efficacy of VDZ was similar among younger and older IBD patients and comparable with the published data in clinical trials.
