Abstract
BACKGROUND Restorative proctocolectomy and IPAA have become the surgical procedure of choice in pediatric patients with medically refractory colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to assess the diagnosis and treatment of pouch disorders in pediatric patients who undergo IPAA. DATA SOURCES A literature search was performed using MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Embase for all publications describing outcomes of pediatric IPAA. STUDY SELECTION Studies between January 1, 2000, and September 7, 2022, published in English were included. Studies were excluded on the basis of title, abstract, and full-length review. INTERVENTIONS IPAA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pouch disorders described include anastomotic leaks, pouch strictures, pouch failure, pouchitis, cuffitis, and de novo Crohn's disease of the pouch. RESULTS Thirty-three studies were included in this review, all of which were retrospective in nature. The outcomes of 2643 pediatric patients were included in the 33 studies. LIMITATIONS Management is largely informed by clinical practices in adult patients with scant data on treatment efficacy in children. CONCLUSIONS The reported incidence of disorders of the pouch in children varies widely and is likely attributable to differences in definitions and follow-up periods across studies. Pouchitis was the most frequently described outcome. The overall rate of pouch failure in children is relatively low, with de novo Crohn's disease of the pouch being the most significant risk factor. Multicenter prospective studies are needed in the pediatric population to accurately identify risk factors, standardize the assessment of pouch complications, and determine effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite highly effective therapies, many children develop medically refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) and undergo proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). We sought to determine the incidence, risk, and burden of pouchitis in the first 2 years following the final stage of IPAA in pediatric UC patients. METHODS Within the IQVIA Legacy PharMetrics Adjudicated Claims Database, we identified pediatric patients with UC who underwent proctocolectomy with IPAA between January 1, 2007, and June 30, 2015. We utilized International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification or International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision-Clinical Modification codes to identify patients with UC and Current Procedural Terminology codes to identify colectomy and IPAA. Continuous variables were compared using t tests and Wilcoxon rank sum testing, while categorical variables were compared using chi-square testing. RESULTS A total of 68 patients with an IPAA were identified. In the first 2 years following IPAA, the cumulative incidence of pouchitis was 54%. Patients with pouchitis required more outpatient visits in the first 2 years after IPAA (mean 21.8 vs 10.2; P = .006) and were more likely to be hospitalized compared with patients without pouchitis (46% vs 23%; P = .045). Patients with pouchitis also demonstrated higher mean total costs in year 1 and year 2 ($27 489 vs $8032 [P = .001] and $27 699 vs $6058 [P = .003], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our findings confirm the high incidence of pouchitis demonstrated in earlier single-center studies of pediatric patients undergoing proctocolectomy with IPAA for UC. Identification of risk factors for pouchitis would be useful to optimize early intervention.

Appendiceal inflammation in colectomy is independently correlated with early pouchitis following ileal pouch anal anastomosis in ulcerative colitis and indeterminate colitis. Ann Diagn Pathol 2021; 55:151838. [PMID: 34626936 DOI: 10.1016/j.anndiagpath.2021.151838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendiceal inflammation in colectomy is one of the histologic predictors of pouchitis in ulcerative colitis (UC) following ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). Fecal calprotectin level has been shown to increase 2 months prior to the onset of pouchitis. We evaluated whether inflammation and calprotectin expression in appendiceal specimens correlate with early-onset pouchitis in UC and indeterminate colitis (IC). MATERIALS AND METHODS IPAA (2000-2018) cases with appendix blocks available in colectomy specimens were identified (n = 93, 90 UC, 3 IC). Histologic features thought to predict pouchitis were evaluated. The degree of appendiceal inflammation was scored. Calprotectin immunostain was performed on the appendix blocks and the extent of mucosal staining was quantified. Electronic medical records were reviewed for demographics, smoking history, clinical pouchitis, time of onset of pouchitis, and clinical and endoscopic components of the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI) score. Follow-up pouch biopsies were reviewed and scored to generate histologic PDAI score, when available. RESULTS Among the patients with clinical pouchitis (n = 73), moderate to severe appendiceal inflammation independently correlated with earlier pouchitis compared to no/mild inflammation (median time to pouchitis 12.0 vs. 23.8, log rank p = 0.016). Calprotectin staining correlated with inflammatory scores of the appendix (Spearman's rho, r = 0.630, p < 0.001) but not with early pouchitis (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The presence of moderate to severe appendiceal inflammation at the time of colectomy was associated with a shorter time to pouchitis following IPAA. Calprotectin immunostain may be used to demonstrate the presence of inflammation in the appendix but its role in predicting early pouchitis remains limited.

Abstract
Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an aggressive disease in the pediatric population and a cause of significant, lifelong morbidity. The aim of this study is to compare surgical complications in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic vs. open surgical treatment for UC. Methods We queried the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) for all cases of UC undergoing surgical treatment in 2009 and 2012. We identified patients who received total colectomy without proctectomy (n=413) or total proctocolectomy (n=196) and performed univariate and multivariate analyses comparing laparoscopic vs. open procedures. Results In pediatric UC patients undergoing total colectomy without proctectomy, open procedures were associated with more complications than laparoscopic, including fluid and electrolyte disorders (40% vs. 28%), surgical wound dehiscence (6% vs. 2%), septicemia (18% vs. 2%), and gastrointestinal disorders (16% vs. 7%) among others, all P<0.05. Likewise, in patients with UC undergoing total proctocolectomy, there were more complications in open vs. laparoscopic technique, including increased transfusion requirements (25% vs. 7%, P=0.001) and significantly more gastrointestinal upset, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (11% vs. 1%, P=0.003). In multivariate analysis, patients who underwent total colectomy with or without proctectomy had an increased risk of experiencing any complication when their procedure was performed in an open or non-elective fashion (all odds ratio >2.4; all P<0.001). Conclusions The laparoscopic approach was associated with significantly lower rates of surgical complications in pediatric patients undergoing total colectomy with or without proctectomy for UC. These findings demonstrate that laparoscopic technique compares favorably, and may be preferable, to the open approach in selected pediatric patients with UC.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a disabling disease, characterized by chronic inflammation of the colon, with a rising prevalence worldwide in the pediatric age group. Although UC presents in children with varying severity, disease extent, and comorbidities, initial treatment is essentially uniform, consisting of 5-aminosalicylate drugs with corticosteroid induction for those with moderately to severely active disease. With the advent of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologic therapy and several new biologics and small-molecule drugs for UC, precision medicine approaches to treatment are needed to more rapidly achieve sustained remission, restore quality of life, normalize development, and limit exposure to toxic corticosteroids in children with UC. Here, we review available data on clinical, biochemical, histopathologic, and molecular predictors of treatment response in UC. We also address known predictors and special treatment considerations in specific relevant scenarios such as very-early-onset UC, acute severe UC, ileal pouch anal anastomosis, and UC with concomitant primary sclerosing cholangitis. The review concludes with a prediction of how machine learning will integrate multimodal patient data to bring precision medicine to the bedside of children with UC in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pouchitis is a major complication after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Although there have been many investigations of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in various diseases, its role in predicting the development of pouchitis remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of the NLR for predicting the development of pouchitis after IPAA in UC patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS UC patients who underwent IPAA at Osaka City University Hospital between May 2006 and March 2019 were included. The incidence of pouchitis was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Potential preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative predictors for pouchitis, including various demographic and clinical variables, were analyzed. The combined impact of the NLR and other known prognostic factors were investigated using Cox proportional hazard regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). RESULTS Forty-nine patients with UC who underwent IPAA were included. The median follow-up period was 18.3 months (interquartile range: 10.7-47.2 months). Eighteen patients (36.7%) developed pouchitis. The incidence of pouchitis was 19.2%, 32.6%, and 45.9% at 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively. NLR was significantly associated with the development of pouchitis in the univariate Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio (HR), 1.14; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.28; P = 0.03). The NLR cutoff value of 2.15 was predictive of the development of pouchitis according to receiver operating characteristic analysis (specificity: 67.7%, sensitivity: 72.2%). The incidence of pouchitis was significantly lower in the low NLR group than that in the high NLR group (P = 0.01, log-rank test). Cox regression analyses using IPTW also identified NLR as a prognostic factor for the development of pouchitis by statistically adjusting for background factors (HR, 3.60; 95% CI, 1.31-9.89; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS NLR may be a novel and useful indicator for predicting the development of pouchitis after IPAA in UC and should be introduced in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the epidemiology and risk factors for pouchitis following restorative proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are scarce. AIMS To determine incidence, risk factors and clinical outcome of pouchitis following IPAA in children. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective cohort study, included all pediatric UC patients who underwent colectomy and IPAA from January 2010 to December 2016. RESULTS Eighty-five patients were enrolled. During a median post-surgical period of 24.8 (range: 1.0-72.0) months following IPAA, 38 (44.7%) patients developed pouchitis, including 6 (15.8%) who developed chronic pouchitis. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates of the cumulative probability for pouchitis were 14.6% at 1 year and 27.3% and 51.5% at 2 and 5 years, respectively. Multiple Cox regression model showed that older age at colectomy (hazard ratio, HR: 0.89, p = 0.008) was a protective factor, whereas chronic active colitis as indication for surgery (HR: 4.45, p < 0.001), and a 3-stage IPAA (HR: 2.86, p = 0.028) increased the risk for pouchitis. CONCLUSIONS Long-term risk for pouchitis is significantly high in pediatric-onset UC after IPAA. Younger age at colectomy, chronic active colitis as indication for surgery and 3-stage IPAA may increase the risk for pouchitis.

Exposure to Anti-tumor Necrosis Factor Medications Increases the Incidence of Pouchitis After Restorative Proctocolectomy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis. Dis Colon Rectum 2019; 62:1344-1351. [PMID: 31596761 DOI: 10.1097/dcr.0000000000001467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pouchitis is the most frequent complication after IPAA in patients with ulcerative colitis. Antibiotics represent the mainstay of treatment, suggesting a crucial role of dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of this condition. Anti-tumor necrosis factor agents have been shown to adversely impact the gut microbiome and local host immunity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the effect of prior exposure to biologics on the development of pouchitis in patients who have ulcerative colitis. DESIGN This is a retrospective case-control study. SETTINGS This study was conducted at a tertiary-care IBD center. PATIENTS Consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent restorative proctocolectomy between 2000 and 2010 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measured was the incidence of pouchitis. RESULTS Four hundred seventeen patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent IPAA were included. The incidence of pouchitis was 40.4%. There were no differences in patient demographics, disease-specific factors, surgical approach, and short-term postoperative complications between patients who developed pouchitis compared to those that did not. Patients exposed to anti-tumor necrosis factor agents or preoperative steroids were significantly more likely to develop pouchitis (anti-tumor necrosis factor: 47.9% vs 36.5%, p = 0.027; steroids: 41.7% vs 23.3%, p = 0.048). However, on multivariable analysis, only anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy was an independent predictor for pouchitis (p = 0.05). Pouchitis was not associated with adverse long-term outcomes. LIMITATIONS The retrospective design was a limitation of this study. CONCLUSION In a large cohort of patients undergoing IPAA for ulcerative colitis with at least a 5-year follow-up, anti-tumor necrosis factor exposure was the only independent risk factor for the development of pouchitis. These agents may "precondition" the pouch to develop pouchitis through alterations in the microbiome and/or local host immunity of the terminal ileum.

LA EXPOSICIÓN A MEDICAMENTOS ANTI-TNF AUMENTA LA INCIDENCIA DE POUCHITIS DESPUÉS DE LA PROCTOCOLECTOMÍA RESTAURADORA EN PACIENTES CON COLITIS ULCEROSA:: La pouchitis es la complicación más frecuente después de la anastomosis anal de bolsa ileal en pacientes con colitis ulcerosa. Los antibióticos representan el pilar del tratamiento, lo que sugiere un papel crucial de la disbiosis en la patogénesis de esta afección. Se ha demostrado que los agentes anti-TNF tienen un impacto adverso en la microbiota intestinal y en la inmunidad local del huésped.El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el efecto de la exposición previa a terapía biológica sobre el desarrollo de la pouchitis en pacientes con colitis ulcerosa.Estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles.Centro de tercer nivel de atención en enfermedades inflamatorias intestinales.Pacientes consecutivos con colitis ulcerosa que se sometieron a proctocolectomía restaurativa entre 2000-2010.Incidencia de pouchitis.Cuatrocientos diecisiete pacientes con colitis ulcerativa se sometieron a anastomosis anal de bolsa ileal. La incidencia de pouchitis fue del 40.4%. No hubo diferencias en la demografía del paciente, los factores específicos de la enfermedad, el abordaje quirúrgico y las complicaciones postoperatorias a corto plazo entre los pacientes que desarrollaron pouchitis en comparación con los que no lo hicieron. Los pacientes expuestos a agentes anti-TNF o esteroides preoperatorios fueron significativamente más propensos a desarrollar pouchitis (anti-TNF: 47.9% vs 36.5%, p = 0.027; esteroides: 41.7% vs 23.3%, p = 0.048). Sin embargo, en el análisis multivariable, solo la terapia anti-TNF fue un predictor independiente para la pouchitis (p = 0.05). La pouchitis no se asoció con resultados adversos a largo plazo.Diseño retrospectivo.En una gran cohorte de pacientes sometidos a anastomosis anal de bolsa ileal para la colitis ulcerosa con al menos 5 años de seguimiento, la exposición a terapía anti-TNF fue el único factor de riesgo independiente para el desarrollo de pouchitis. Estos agentes pueden "precondicionar" la bolsa para desarrollar una pouchitis a través de alteraciones en el microbioma y / o inmunidad local del huésped del íleon terminal.
