Abstract
Numerous preclinical and clinical studies have shown that stress is one of the main environmental factor playing a significant role in the pathogeny and life-course of bowel diseases. However, stressful events that occur early in life, even during the fetal life, leave different traces within the central nervous system, in area involved in stress response and autonomic network but also in emotion, cognition and memory regulation. Early-life stress can disrupt the prefrontal-amygdala circuit thus favoring an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, resulting in anxiety-like behaviors. The down regulation of vagus nerve and cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway favors pro-inflammatory conditions. Recent data suggest that emotional abuse at early life are aggravating risk factors in inflammatory bowel disease. This review aims to unravel the mechanisms that explain the consequences of early life events and stress in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease and their mental co-morbidities. A review of therapeutic potential will also be covered.

Depressive symptom as a risk factor for cirrhosis in patients with primary biliary cholangitis: Analysis based on Lasso-logistic regression and decision tree models. Brain Behav 2024; 14:e3639. [PMID: 39099389 PMCID: PMC11298689 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms are frequently observed in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The role of depressive symptoms on cirrhosis has not been fully noticed in PBC. We aimed to establish a risk model for cirrhosis that took depressive symptoms into account. METHODS Depressive symptoms were assessed by the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17). HAMD-17 score was analyzed in relation to clinical parameters. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso)-logistic regression and decision tree models were used to explore the effect of depressive symptoms on cirrhosis. RESULTS The rate of depressive symptom in patients with PBC (n = 162) was higher than in healthy controls (n = 180) (52.5% vs. 16.1%; p < .001). HAMD-17 score was negatively associated with C4 levels and positively associated with levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total bilirubin (TB), Immunoglobulin (Ig) G, and IgM (r = -0.162, 0.197, 0.355, 0.203, 0.182, 0.314, p < .05). In Lasso-logistic regression analysis, HAMD-17 score, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1*03:01 allele, age, ALP levels, and IgM levels (odds ratio [OR] = 1.087, 7.353, 1.075, 1.009, 1.005; p < 0.05) were independent risk factors for cirrhosis. Elevated HAMD-17 score was also a discriminating factor for high risk of cirrhosis in patients with PBC in decision tree model. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms were associated with disease severity. Elevated HAMD-17 score was a risk factor for cirrhosis in patients with PBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Depression is highly prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which may affect the prognosis of IBD. This aimed to investigate the impact of depression on prognosis in IBD. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in four databases (Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and PsycINFO) up to December 31, 2023. Studies were included if they investigated the impact of depression on prognosis in IBD. The primary outcome was flare in IBD, and secondary outcomes were hospitalization, readmission, emergency visits, surgery, and escalation of medical therapy. Relative risks (RRs) were utilized to estimate the risk in each of the above prognostic indicators. RESULTS Fourteen cohort and 10 case-control studies matched our entry criteria, comprising 630 408 patients with IBD. Twenty-two of included studies were considered to have a low risk of bias. Depression was found to significantly increase the risk of flare (RR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.16-1.63), hospitalization (RR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.23), readmission (RR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.04-1.67), emergency visits (RR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.12-1.59), surgery (1.38, 95% CI 1.08-1.76), and escalation of medical therapy (RR = 1.38, 95% CI 1.13-1.69) in IBD. Of note, patients with depression in ulcerative colitis had significant differences in readmission (RR = 1.38, 95% CI 1.19-1.60) and escalation of medical therapy (RR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.55-2.04). Additionally, the association was observed in patients with Crohn's disease in terms of flare (RR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.08-2.01) and hospitalization (RR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.03-1.40). CONCLUSIONS Current evidence suggested that depression could significantly increase the risk of poor prognosis worsening in patients with IBD. However, the association varied in IBD subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are known to experience psychological distress and have profoundly disrupted sleep. The aim of this analysis was to examine the relationship between sleep patterns with depressive symptoms and HPN characteristics. METHODS The study was a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data examining sleep patterns using subjective and objective measures. Sleep was assessed by surveys and 7-day actigraphy. The Patient Health Questionnaire-8 was used to evaluate depressive symptoms. Participants provided information on HPN. Spearman correlations were calculated between sleep measures with depressive symptoms and HPN characteristics. Correlations were further examined in multivariable linear regression models. RESULTS Thirty-two adults (age = 53 years; 75% female; 94% White) were included. Lower sleep quality (r = 0.54-0.60; P < 0.001) and later sleep timing (r = -0.35; P = 0.049) were correlated with higher depressive symptoms. Sleep patterns were also correlated with several HPN characteristics (r = -0.47 to 0.51). In linear regression models, rate of infusion was associated with sleep duration (β = -0.004 [0.002] h; P = 0.046) in which each 100 mL/h was associated with 24-min shorter duration. Higher total energy was associated with lower sleep quality (β = 0.0004 [0.0002] log-unit; P = 0.042), and higher volume was associated with longer sleep onset latency (β = 0.0006 [0.0003] log-min; P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS We provide evidence supporting the link between poor and later sleep with higher depressive symptoms and identify potentially modifiable infusion characteristics (notably, slower rate of infusion and lower total energy and volume) that, on further verification, may support sleep among those receiving HPN.

Abstract
Around 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have depressive symptoms, yet antidepressants have been poorly studied in IBD. We systematically searched IBD studies testing antidepressants in four databases. Outcomes were depressive symptoms, anxiety, IBD disease activity, quality of life (QoL) and adverse events. For randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we performed random-effects meta-analysis of the standardized mean difference (SMD) in posttreatment scores between antidepressant and placebo groups. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Common Mental Disorders Depression Anxiety and Neurosis Group tool (clinical trials) and Newcastle-Ottawa scale (cohort studies). We included 11 studies ( n = 327): three placebo-controlled RCTs, two nonrandomized trials, and six other study types. In the pooled analysis, antidepressants improved depressive symptoms [SMD = -0.71 (95% confidence interval (CI) -1.32 to -0.10), P = 0.02, I2 = 51%] and QoL [SMD = 0.88 (95% CI 0.30-1.45), P = 0.003, I2 = 44%] more than placebo. Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) alone improved depressive symptoms [SMD = -0.95 (95% CI -1.45 to -0.45, P < 0.001, I2 = 11%], anxiety [SMD = -0.92 (95% CI 1.72 to -0.13), P = 0.023, I2 = 65%] and QoL [SMD = 1.14 (95% CI 0.66-1.62), P < 0.001, I2 = 0%]. The three RCTs were of good quality. In conclusion, based on three small but good-quality studies, antidepressants improve depressive symptoms and QoL compared to placebo in IBD. SNRI antidepressants may also improve anxiety. A fully powered study of antidepressants in IBD is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to assess the prevalence of poor mental health in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and its associated factors in a large sample of patients from the International Map of Axial Spondyloarthritis (IMAS) study from around the globe. METHODS IMAS is a cross-sectional online survey (2017-2022) that includes 5557 unselected patients with axSpA worldwide. Mental health was evaluated by the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the cut-off point for poor mental health was set at 3. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate relationships between the investigated factors and poor mental health (GHQ-12≥3) in patients with axSpA (n=4335). RESULTS Of 5351 patients, the mean of GHQ-12 was 4.7 and 59.4% were having poor mental health, being 69.9% in South Africa, 63.7% in Latin America, 60.8% in Europe, 54.3% in North America and 51.8% in Asia. Overall, 40.5% and 37.2% of patients experienced anxiety and depression. The factors associated with poor mental health were younger age (OR=0.99), female gender (OR=1.16), being on sick leave or unemployed (OR=1.63), non-physical activity (OR=1.22), smoking (OR=1.20), higher Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] (OR=1.42), functional limitation (OR=1.02) and shorter symptoms duration (OR=0.98). CONCLUSIONS Globally, 6 in 10 patients with axSpA had poor mental health, with a higher proportion in South Africa and lower in Asia. The factors associated with poor mental health include domains such as younger age, female gender, employment difficulties, harmful habits, disease burden and symptom duration. A holistic management approach to axSpA should encompass both physical and mental health.

Abstract
The current study explored perspectives of those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and comorbid anxiety and/or depression on a hybrid acceptance and committment therapy (ACT) intervention, compared to an active control. This qualitative study was nested within a randomized controlled trial (RCT) where an experimental group received an 8-week blended delivery ACTforIBD intervention (four sessions telehealth, four sessions pre-recorded self-directed), while an active control group received a psychoeducation program of similar intensity. Semi-structured interviews were conducted post-intervention and at a 3-month follow-up. Themes were interpreted using reflexive thematic analysis. Twenty individuals participated; ten in each condition. Seven themes were constructed, including three shared themes between groups: I Am Worth Advocating For, Present Moment Is My Biggest Ally, and Ambivalence About Self-Directed Modules. Two themes were identified for the ACTforIBD group: Symptoms Are Going to Happen and Moving Toward Values while two themes identified from the ActiveControl group were: Reset and Refresh and It's Ok to Say No. Acceptance and values modules from ACTforIBD were perceived as useful in reducing psychological distress for those with IBD, while the ActiveControl group felt their program affirmed existing effective coping strategies. Access to external resources for self-directed modules and networking may increase engagement with content long term.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We previously reported the results of tofacitinib induction therapy in the prospective multisite US real-world Tofacitinib Response in Ulcerative Colitis registry. We now assessed patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and predictors of success during tofacitinib maintenance therapy. METHODS Tofacitinib Response in Ulcerative Colitis included 103 patients with refractory ulcerative colitis (UC); 67% had failed ≥ 2 biologics. Patients reported the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI), Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System measures for anxiety, depression, social satisfaction, and adverse events between weeks 8 and 52 using a web-based system. Paired t test and P for trend were used to compare changes in PRO measures over time. Bivariate analyses and logistic regression models were used to determine factors associated with response (SCCAI <5) or remission (SCCAI <2) at week 52. RESULTS Of 103 patients, 82.5% entered the maintenance phase and 43.7% remained on tofacitinib at week 52. Tofacitinib de-escalation to 5 mg BID occurred in 15% of patients. At week 52, 42.7% and 31.1% of all patients reported an SCCAI <5 and SCCAI ≤2, respectively. Normalization of bowel frequency, rectal bleeding, and urgency occurred in 79%, 61%, and 48% of patients remaining on maintenance therapy. Social satisfaction improved significantly ( P < 0.001), while anxiety and depression scores only numerically improved. No consistent predictors for tofacitinib long-term treatment efficacy were identified, and safety findings were consistent with the known safety profile of tofacitinib. DISCUSSION Tofacitinib is an effective maintenance therapy in patients with refractory UC. Dose reductions infrequently occurred during maintenance. Unmet needs in UC maintenance include improvement of urgency and psychosocial factors (NCT03772145).

Abstract
Aim Drug repurposing, utilizing electronic healthcare records (EHRs), offers a promising alternative by repurposing existing drugs for new therapeutic indications, especially for patients lacking effective therapies. Intestinal fibrosis, a severe complication of Crohn's disease (CD), poses significant challenges, increasing morbidity and mortality without available pharmacological treatments. This article focuses on identifying medications associated with an elevated or reduced risk of fibrosis in CD patients through a population-wide real-world data and artificial intelligence (AI) approach. Methods Patients aged 65 or older with a diagnosis of CD from 1996 to 2019 in the Danish EHRs were followed for up to 24 years. The primary outcome was the need of specific surgical procedures, namely proctocolectomy with ileostomy and ileocecal resection as proxies of intestinal fibrosis. The study explored drugs linked to an increased or reduced risk of the study outcome through machine-learning driven survival analysis. Results Among the 9179 CD patients, 1029 (11.2%) underwent surgery, primarily men (58.5%), with a mean age of 76 years, 10 drugs were linked to an elevated risk of surgery for proctocolectomy with ileostomy and ileocecal resection. In contrast, 10 drugs were associated with a reduced risk of undergoing surgery for these conditions. Conclusion This study focuses on repurposing existing drugs to prevent surgery related to intestinal fibrosis in CD patients, using Danish EHRs and advanced statistical methods. The findings offer valuable insights into potential treatments for this condition, addressing a critical unmet medical need. Further research and clinical trials are warranted to validate the effectiveness of these repurposed drugs in preventing surgery related to intestinal fibrosis in CD patients.

Réus GZ, Manosso LM, Quevedo J, Carvalho AF. Major depressive disorder as a neuro-immune disorder: Origin, mechanisms, and therapeutic opportunities. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2023; 155:105425. [PMID: 37852343 DOI: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2023.105425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
Notwithstanding advances in understanding the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD), no single mechanism can explain all facets of this disorder. An expanding body of evidence indicates a putative role for the inflammatory response. Several meta-analyses showed an increase in systemic peripheral inflammatory markers in individuals with MDD. Numerous conditions and circumstances in the modern world may promote chronic systemic inflammation through mechanisms, including alterations in the gut microbiota. Peripheral cytokines may reach the brain and contribute to neuroinflammation through cellular, humoral, and neural pathways. On the other hand, antidepressant drugs may decrease peripheral levels of inflammatory markers. Anti-inflammatory drugs and nutritional strategies that reduce inflammation also could improve depressive symptoms. The present study provides a critical review of recent advances in the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of MDD. Furthermore, this review discusses the role of glial cells and the main drivers of changes associated with neuroinflammation. Finally, we highlight possible novel neurotherapeutic targets for MDD that could exert antidepressant effects by modulating inflammation.

Bacteroides vulgatus alleviates dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis and depression-like behaviour by facilitating gut-brain axis balance. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1287271. [PMID: 38033588 PMCID: PMC10687441 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1287271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a higher prevalence of depression. Gut microbiota dysbiosis plays an important role in IBD and depression. However, few studies have explored the characteristic microbiota of patients with IBD and depression (IBDD), or their role in IBDD. Methods We performed deep metagenomic sequencing and 16S rDNA quantitative PCR to characterise the gut microbial communities of patients with IBDD and patients with IBD without depression (IBDND). We then assessed the effect of the microbiota on colitis and depression in mouse models of dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced colitis and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression. Furthermore, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyse the microbiota-derived metabolites involved in gut-brain communication. Evans Blue tracer dye was used to assess blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Results Our results showed that the faecal abundance of Bacteroides vulgatus (B. vulgatus) was lower in patients with IBDD than in those with IBDND. In the DSS-induced colitis mouse model, the B. vulgatus group showed a significantly lower disease activity index score, lesser weight loss, and longer colon length than the DSS group. Moreover, B. vulgatus relieved depression-like behaviour in the DSS-induced colitis mouse model and in the LPS-induced depression mouse model. Furthermore, the key metabolite of B. vulgatus was p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4-HPAA), which was found to relieve intestinal inflammation and alleviate depression-like behaviours in mouse models. By increasing the expression of the tight junction protein claudin-5 in the vascular endothelium of the BBB, B. vulgatus and 4-HPAA play critical roles in gut-brain communication. Conclusion B. vulgatus and B. vulgatus-derived 4-HPAA ameliorated intestinal inflammation and relieved depressive symptoms through the gut-brain axis. Thus, administration of B. vulgatus or 4-HPAA supplementation is a promising therapeutic strategy for treating IBD, particularly IBDD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between perimenopausal depression and many chronic conditions among women has been well-established. However, the role of depression during perimenopause in the progression of multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) remains poorly understood. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1,216 community-dwelling women in their perimenopause period between 2010 and 2016 were enrolled in our analysis, and followed up for the progression of multimorbidity. Depression, as well as its severity, was evaluated by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression 10-item scale (CES-D-10). Progression of multimorbidity was defined as the first report of two or more chronic conditions for participants without multimorbidity or the new report of one or more conditions for those with multimorbidity. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and the restricted cubic spline regression model were performed to assess the prospective association between perimenopausal depression and the progression of multimorbidity. RESULTS A total of 480 (39.5%) women reported depression during perimenopause, and 529 (43.5%) women progressed to multimorbidity. After adjusting for socio-demographic and lifestyle factors, perimenopausal depression was independently associated with the progression of multimorbidity (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13 to 1.60). Moreover, the severity of depression was positively and linearly associated with the progression of multimorbidity (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our finding reveals a prospective association between perimenopausal depression and the progression of multimorbidity, indicating interventions targeting perimenopausal depression may reduce the burden of chronic diseases and multimorbidity in women's post-menopausal life.

Abstract
Rising compounding prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Kaplan GG, Windsor JW. The four epidemiological stages in the global evolution of inflammatory bowel disease. Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2021;18:56-66.) and pandemic-exacerbated health system resource limitations have resulted in significant variability in access to high-quality, evidence-based, person-centered specialty care for Canadians living with IBD. Individuals with IBD have identified long wait times, gaps in biopsychosocial care, treatment and travel expenses, and geographic and provider variation in IBD specialty care and knowledge as some of the key barriers to access. Care delivered within integrated models of care (IMC) has shown promise related to impact on disease-related outcomes and quality of life. However, access to these models is limited within the Canadian healthcare systems and much remains to be learned about the most appropriate IMC team composition and roles. Although eHealth technologies have been leveraged to overcome some access challenges since COVID-19, more research is needed to understand how best to integrate eHealth modalities (i.e., video or telephone visits) into routine IBD care. Many individuals with IBD are satisfied with these eHealth modalities. However, not all disease assessment and monitoring can be achieved through virtual modalities. The need for access to person-centered, objective disease monitoring strategies, inclusive of point of care intestinal ultrasound, is more pressing than ever given pandemic-exacerbated restrictions in access to endoscopy and cross-sectional imaging. Supporting learning healthcare systems for IBD and research relating to the strategic use of innovative and integrative implementation strategies for evidence-based IBD care interventions are greatly needed. Data derived from this research will be essential to appropriately allocating scarce resources aimed at improving person-centred access to cost-effective IBD care.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders are 1.5 to 2 times more prevalent in persons with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in the general population, with pooled prevalence estimates of 21% for clinical anxiety and 15% for depression. Rates are even higher when considering mental health symptoms, as nearly one-third of persons with IBD experience elevated anxiety symptoms and one-quarter experience depression symptoms. Rates of these symptoms were much higher during periods of disease activity, more common in women than men, and more common in Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis. There is robust evidence of the detrimental effects of comorbid depression and anxiety on the subsequent course of IBD based on longitudinal studies tracking outcomes over time. However, psychiatric disorders and IBD have bidirectional effects, with each affecting risk of the other. Elevated mental health concerns have been consistently associated with greater healthcare utilization and costs related to IBD. There is some signal that low resilience in adolescence could be a risk factor for developing IBD and that enhancing resilience may improve mental health and intestinal disease outcomes in IBD. Psychological therapies used to treat anxiety and depression occurring in the context of IBD have been shown to significantly improve the quality of life for persons with IBD and reduce anxiety and depression. There is less evidence in regard to the impact of psychotropic medications on mental health or disease outcomes in persons with IBD. There is consensus, however, that mental health must be addressed as part of comprehensive IBD care for children and adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The YOu and Ulcerative colitis: Registry and Social network (YOURS) is a large-scale, multicenter, patient-focused registry investigating the effects of lifestyle, psychological factors, and clinical practice patterns on patient-reported outcomes in patients with ulcerative colitis in Japan. In this initial cross-sectional baseline analysis, we comprehensively explored impacts of symptom severity or proctocolectomy on nine patient-reported outcomes. METHODS Patients receiving tertiary care at medical institutions were consecutively enrolled in the YOURS registry. The patients completed validated questionnaires on lifestyle, psychosocial factors, and disease-related symptoms. Severity of symptoms was classified with self-graded stool frequency and rectal bleeding scores (categories: remission, active disease [mild, moderate, severe]). The effects of symptom severity or proctocolectomy on nine scales for quality of life, fatigue, anxiety/depression, work productivity, and sleep were assessed by comparing standardized mean differences of the patient-reported outcome scores. RESULTS Of the 1971 survey responses analyzed, 1346 (68.3%) patients were in remission, 583 (29.6%) had active disease, and 42 (2.1%) had undergone proctocolectomy. A linear relationship between increasing symptom severity and worsening quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and work productivity was observed. Patients with even mild symptoms had worse scores than patients in remission. Patients who had undergone proctocolectomy also had worse scores than patients in remission. CONCLUSIONS Ulcerative colitis was associated with reduced mood, quality of life, fatigue, and work productivity even in patients with mild symptoms, suggesting that management of active ulcerative colitis may improve patient-reported outcomes irrespective of disease severity.

Abstract
Background Anxiety and depression symptoms are very common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to explore the impact of anxiety and depression on the efficacy of medications, as well as IBD-related poor outcomes. Method This was a prospective longitudinal observational study. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression symptoms. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between anxiety/depression and the response to different medications. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model were applied to analyze the relationship between anxiety/depression and IBD-related poor outcomes, which were defined as urgent IBD-related hospitalization, IBD-related surgery, or death. Results A total of 325 IBD patients were enrolled, 118 of whom were treated with corticosteroids, 88 with azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine (AZA/6-MP), and 147 with anti-TNF agents. Anxiety/depression symptoms were found to be significantly related to steroid resistance, but independent of AZA/6-MP and anti-TNF agents nonresponse. There was a significant association between anxiety/depression symptoms and IBD-related poor outcomes. Coexisting with anxiety/depression symptoms was an independent influencing factor of steroid resistance and IBD-related poor outcomes. Conclusion IBD patients with anxiety/depression symptoms were at a higher risk of developing steroid resistance and IBD-related poor outcomes. Future studies are needed to explore whether interventions for anxiety and depression will improve their response to medications and change their prognosis.

Iordache MM, Belu AM, Vlad SE, Aivaz KA, Dumitru A, Tocia C, Dumitru E. Calprotectin, Biomarker of Depression in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease? MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1240. [PMID: 37512053 PMCID: PMC10383955 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59071240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Calprotectin is a marker for intestinal inflammation. Recent research suggests a link between inflammation and depression. This study assessed the association between the levels of calprotectin in patients from South-Eastern Europe and the severity of depression, anxiety, and quality of life. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 30 confirmed patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) who were assessed using clinical interviews for determining the severities of mental disorders (i.e., depression severity-PHQ-9, anxiety-GAD-7) and the quality of life (EQ-5D). Stool samples were collected from all participants for measuring their levels of calprotectin. Results: The level of calprotectin is correlated with PHQ-9 (ρ = 0.416, p = 0.022) and EQ-5D (ρ = -0.304, p = 0.033) but not with GAD 7 (ρ = 0.059, p = 0.379). Calprotectin levels in patients with mild, moderate, and moderately severe depression were significantly higher than in patients with minimal depression (198 µg/g vs. 66,9 µg/g, p = 0.04). Calprotectin level was corelated with the following depressive symptoms: autolytic ideation (ρ = 0.557, p = 0.001), fatigue (ρ = 0.514, p = 0.002), slow movement (ρ = 0.490, p = 0.003), and sleep disorders (ρ = 0.403, p = 0.014). Calprotectin was an independent predictor of depression with an odds ratio of 1.01 (95%: 1.002-1.03, p < 0.01). An ROC analysis showed that a level of calprotectin of 131 µg/g or higher has a sensitivity of 82%, a specificity of 61%, and an accuracy of 70% for predicting depression. In this study, no significant correlations were found between calprotectin level and anxiety. Conclusions: Calprotectin levels are associated with the severity of depression, and checking for a calprotectin level of 131 µg/g or higher may be a potential accessible screening test for depression in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Fracas E, Costantino A, Vecchi M, Buoli M. Depressive and Anxiety Disorders in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Are There Any Gender Differences? INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:6255. [PMID: 37444101 PMCID: PMC10340762 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20136255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Gender differences were identified in the frequency and clinical presentations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depressive and anxiety disorders, which are more common in IBD patients than in the general population. The present manuscript provides a critical overview of gender differences in the frequency and clinical course of mood and anxiety disorders in IBD patients, with the aim of helping clinicians provide individualized management for patients. All of the included studies found that IBD patients reported a higher frequency of depressive and anxiety disorders than the general population. These findings should encourage healthcare providers to employ validated tools to monitor the mental health of their IBD patients, such as the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). In addition, most studies confirm that women with IBD are more likely than men to develop affective disorders and show that up to 65% of women with IBD have depressive and anxiety disorders. Women with IBD require close mental health monitoring and ultimately a multidisciplinary approach involving mental health professionals. Drug treatment in women should be individualized and medications that may affect mental health (e.g., corticosteroids) should be thoroughly reconsidered. Further data are needed to ensure individualized treatment for IBD patients in a framework of precision medicine.

Abstract
Background While the detrimental impact of negative emotions on the clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and quality of life has been extensively investigated, evidence for a potential impact of positive emotions is scarce. Objectives We aim to analyse contributing factors of positive affect and their predictive value for disease course in IBD patients. Design In this retrospective cohort study, epidemiological, psychosocial and IBD disease characteristics of Swiss IBD cohort study patients were analysed longitudinally. Methods Epidemiological, psychosocial and disease characteristics were extracted from the database of the Swiss IBD cohort study. Participants' positive emotions were assessed cross-sectionally with the seven-item Marburg questionnaire (range 1-6) addressing positive affect in different aspects of daily life. Predictors of positive emotions were identified by linear regression. The quantitative longitudinal impact of positive emotions on the further disease course was analysed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Results Among 702 IBD patients, those reporting more positive emotions were found to have significantly less intense medical treatment, less pain and fewer depressive symptoms (p < 0.05). A higher percentage of variability in positive emotions was explained by pain (36%) and depressive symptoms (13%) than by epidemiological characteristics (0.3%), or characteristics of IBD and its treatment (2.4%). Patients with higher levels of positive emotions (score > 3.5) experienced longer flare-free survival, also after adjusting for confounders (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.39, p < 0.05). Conclusions The absence of pain and depressive symptoms were the strongest drivers for high positive affect. Higher scores of positive affect were associated with longer disease-free survival in IBD patients.

Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between disease activity and anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods The disease activity of IBD patients was evaluated by 66 gastroenterologists from 42 hospitals in 22 provinces in China from September 2021 to May 2022. Anxiety, depression, sleep quality and quality of life of IBD patients were investigated and statistically analyzed by different scales, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (IBD-Q). Results A total of 2478 IBD patients were included, of which 1532 (61.8%) were in active stage and 946 (38.2%) were in remission. The proportions of active IBD with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life were 29.5%, 29.7%, 71.1%, and 50.1%, respectively, while the proportions of remission IBD with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life were 19.1%, 24.4%, 69.3%, and 17.4%, respectively. IBD patients who also had anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and poor quality of life had 80 cases (8.46%) in remission and 114 cases (7.44%) in active stage, with 54 cases (9.18%) in mild activity, 51 cases (6.95%) in moderate activity and 9 cases (4.49%) in severe activity. IBD patients with different disease activity levels differed in GAD-7 scores, PHQ-9 scores, PSQI scores, and IBD-Q scores (all P<0.001). In IBD patients, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance, which interact with each other, can further aggravate their disease activity (all P<0.001). Conclusion Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and quality of life are strongly correlated with disease activity in IBD patients, and IBD patients with psychological disturbances are most often in the active stage and have a poor quality of life.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects the quality of life. Patient education and support needs are crucial components of comprehensive chronic illness care. The main purposes of this review were to (i) explore the informational and supportive needs of these patients to improve the quality of life in the existing literature and (ii) identify the gaps related to the needs of the patients in articles. Methods The scoping review is based on the Daudt methodological framework, a modified version of Arksey and O'Malley. Electronic databases were extensively searched from January 01, 2000 to April 30, 2022. Four electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, APA PsycArticles, and ProQuest) were searched using controlled vocabulary, and specific keywords. The searched terms were matched to each database. We manually searched two key journals, namely the Journal of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and the Journal of Crohn's and Colitis. Results In the review, 75 studies on the assessment of the information and support needs of patients with IBD were reviewed. In this regard, 62 and 53 studies were regarding information needs and support needs, respectively. Most of the information needs of patients with IBD reported in the studies were related to diet needs, and educational needs were the most essential support needs. Conclusions Health policymakers and managers can develop care and educational programs related to this disease in health centers according to the needs of the patients. Health professionals, especially gastroenterologists, are the primary referral sources for information on patients. Therefore, gastroenterologists can take the lead in planning and educating the patients and sharing their decisions. Systematic review registration OSF, https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/3MWGJ.

Abstract
Significant progress in the management and modification of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been made; however, significant barriers to the optimization of IBD care in the United States still exist. The majority of these barriers are constructed by insurance carriers and the integration of market pressures into healthcare decision-making. In this review, we highlight the barriers to IBD care optimization within the context of the US insurance system and review current and proposed solutions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is more common in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, but whether inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic, relapsing immune-mediated disease, is associated with a higher risk of depression remains uncertain. METHOD We studied 497,134 participants in the UK Biobank, including 3561 IBD patients. Multivariate Cox proportional risk models were constructed to investigate the risk associated with IBD and depression adjusting for potential confounding factors including sociodemographic, lifestyle, and family history variables. RESULTS The average age of participants was 56.54 ± 8.09 years; 54.3% were female and 90.4% were white. Over a mean follow-up period of 13.3 years, the cumulative incidence of depression was 8.2% (95% CI: 7.3%-9.1%) in IBD patients compared with 4.9% (95% CI: 4.9%-5.0%) in individuals without IBD. Compared with non-IBD participants, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for depression among IBD patients was 1.56 (95% CI: 1.39-1.76), with an adjusted HR of 1.54 (95% CI: 1.25-1.90) in Crohn's disease and 1.52 (95% CI: 1.30-1.78) in ulcerative colitis, respectively. CONCLUSION IBD patients had a significantly higher risk of depression than non-IBD participants after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. We recommend screening for depression in middle-aged adults with IBD and no established history of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of depression and anxiety are known to be increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but it is unclear whether such elevations adversely affect IBD outcomes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the association between depression or anxiety and clinical outcomes of IBD. METHOD Using claims data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS), patients with IBD were identified by codes of the International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and the Rare/Intractable Disease (RID) registration program for years 2010 to 2017. ICD-10 codes were also used to identify depression and anxiety in this population. Primary study endpoints were IBD-related outcomes, including emergency room (ER) visits, hospitalizations, and surgeries during the follow-up period. RESULTS Our cohort included 32,867 patients with IBD, of whom 3794 (11.5%) experienced depression and anxiety during the 6-year median follow-up period. In multivariate analysis, comorbid depression and anxiety were associated with increased risks of ER visits (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-1.51) and hospitalizations (HR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.12-1.37), whereas surgical risk was not different for IBD patients with and without depression and anxiety. There was no differential effect of depression and anxiety on outcomes in IBD patients, but depression was more closely associated with outcomes in CD patients and anxiety in UC patients. CONCLUSION In patients with IBD, comorbid depression and anxiety are associated with increased risks of ER visits and hospitalizations, but not surgery. These associations are more pronounced for depression in CD patients and for anxiety in UC patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract that has a profound impact on the quality of life of those afflicted with it. The scientific literature shows how the quality of life of people with IBD influences and is influenced by the clinical manifestations of the disease. Strongly connected with excretory functions, which have always been taboo in society, these clinical manifestations can lead to stigmatizing behaviours. The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experiences of the enacted stigma of people with IBD through Cohen's phenomenological method. Two main themes (stigma in the workplace and stigma in social life) and one subtheme (stigma in love life) emerged from the data analysis. The data analysis revealed that stigma is associated with a multitude of negative health outcomes for the people targeted by it and can add to the already complex physical, psychological and social burdens endured by people with IBD. Having a better understanding of the stigma attached to IBD will facilitate the development of care and training interventions that can improve the quality of life of people suffering from IBD.

Characteristics and Effect of Anxiety and Depression Trajectories in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Am J Gastroenterol 2023; 118:304-316. [PMID: 36227779 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000002063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Symptoms of common mental disorders, such as anxiety or depression, are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We report trajectories of these symptoms in IBD, patient characteristics associated with different trajectories, and effects on healthcare utilization and prognosis. METHODS We collected demographic, symptom, psychological, and quality-of-life data, with questionnaires at 3-month intervals, over 12 months of follow-up. We collected healthcare utilization and IBD outcomes through notes review. We compared characteristics of those with persistently normal or improving anxiety or depression scores with those with persistently abnormal or worsening scores and the number of flares, glucocorticosteroid prescriptions, escalations of therapy, hospitalizations, or intestinal resections due to IBD activity. RESULTS Among 771 and 777 patients, respectively, worsening or persistently abnormal anxiety or depression scores were associated with increased antidepressant (28.6% vs 12.3% anxiety, 35.8% vs 10.1% depression, P < 0.001) and opiate use (19.0% vs 7.8% anxiety, P = 0.001 and 34.0% vs 7.4% depression, P < 0.001), compared with those with persistently normal or improving scores. These individuals were also more likely to have been diagnosed with IBD in the last 12 months (16.3% vs 5.0% anxiety, P = 0.001, and 15.1% vs 5.5% depression, P = 0.006), to have clinically active disease at baseline (57.1% vs 26.6% anxiety and 71.7% vs 29.1% depression, P < 0.001) and lower quality-of-life scores ( P < 0.001). Individuals with worsening or persistently abnormal trajectories of anxiety or depression required significantly more outpatient appointments, radiological investigations, and endoscopic procedures for IBD-related symptoms. DISCUSSION In this 12-month follow-up study, patients with IBD with worsening or persistently high anxiety or depression scores were higher utilizers of health care but were not at an increased risk of future adverse disease outcomes.

Abstract
The current study aimed at examining the potential role of self-compassion and self-judgment components on depressive symptomatology and psychological health in people with a diagnosis of chronic physical disease. The sample included 223 participants with a diagnosis of chronic physical disease, aged between 18 and 45 years, who completed an online survey. The tested model showed an excellent fit to the empirical data and path analysis results indicated that mindfulness, self-judgment, and isolation have a significant impact on depressive symptomatology (explaining 40% of its variance) and also on psychological health (explaining 45% of its variance). This study shed some light on the role of both self-compassion and self-judgment components, suggesting the importance of the promotion of mindfulness skills and the reduction of self-judgment and feelings of isolation in people with chronic physical disease. These findings seem to support the development of more effective interventions for the promotion of psychological health and reduction of depressive symptoms in people diagnosed with a chronic physical disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of the brain-gut axis is of increasing interest in IBD, as the link between common mental disorders and GI inflammation may be bidirectional. We performed a systematic review examining these issues. DESIGN We searched EMBASE Classic and EMBASE, Medline, and APA PsychInfo (to 11 July 2021) for longitudinal follow-up studies examining effect of symptoms of anxiety or depression on subsequent adverse outcomes in IBD, or effect of active IBD on subsequent development of symptoms of anxiety or depression. We pooled relative risks (RRs) and HRs with 95% CIs for adverse outcomes (flare, escalation of therapy, hospitalisation, emergency department attendance, surgery or a composite of any of these) according to presence of symptoms of anxiety or depression at baseline, or RRs and HRs with 95% CIs for new onset of symptoms of anxiety or depression according to presence of active IBD at baseline. RESULTS We included 12 separate studies, recruiting 9192 patients. All 12 studies examined brain-to-gut effects. Anxiety at baseline was associated with significantly higher risks of escalation of therapy (RR=1.68; 95% CI 1.18 to 2.40), hospitalisation (RR=1.72; 95% CI 1.01 to 2.95), emergency department attendance (RR=1.30; 95% CI 1.21 to 1.39), or a composite of any adverse outcome. Depression at baseline was associated with higher risks of flare (RR=1.60; 95% CI 1.21 to 2.12), escalation of therapy (RR=1.41; 95% CI 1.08 to 1.84), hospitalisation (RR=1.35; 95% CI 1.17 to 1.57), emergency department attendance (RR=1.38; 95% CI 1.22 to 1.56), surgery (RR=1.63; 95% CI 1.19 to 2.22) or a composite of any of these. Three studies examined gut-to-brain effects. Active disease at baseline was associated with future development of anxiety or depression (RR=2.24; 95% CI 1.25 to 4.01 and RR=1.49; 95% CI 1.11 to 1.98, respectively). CONCLUSION Bidirectional effects of the brain-gut axis are present in IBD and may influence both the natural history of the disease and psychological health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Approximately 30% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients develop depression. Conversely, several studies reported increased IBD risk among patients with depression. Such bidirectional relationship has not been reported within one representative cohort, nor investigated among patients' family members. These associations may further implicate the gut-brain axis in IBD. METHODS We conducted parallel retrospective cohort analyses to investigate depression risk among IBD patients and their unaffected siblings, and IBD risk among patients with depression and their unaffected siblings using the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database. Individuals were followed up to 11 years for new-onset depression or IBD. Controls were matched to unaffected siblings based on predefined characteristics. RESULTS To investigate depression risk among IBD - 422 IBD patients, 537 unaffected siblings, and 2148 controls were enrolled. During follow-up, 78 (18.5%) IBD patients, 26 (4.8%) unaffected siblings, and 54 (2.5%) controls developed depression. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for depression among IBD patients and unaffected siblings were 9.43 (95% CI 6.43-13.81; P < 0.001) and 1.82 (95% CI 1.14-2.91; P = 0.013), respectively. To investigate IBD risk among depression - 25 552 patients with depression, 26 147 unaffected siblings, and 104 588 controls were enrolled. During follow-up, 18 (0.70/1000) depression patients, 25 (0.96/1000) unaffected siblings, and 58 (0.55/1000) controls developed IBD. ORs for IBD among depression patients and unaffected siblings were 1.87 (95% CI 1.07-3.26; P = 0.028) and 1.69 (95% CI 1.05-2.69; P = 0.029), respectively. CONCLUSIONS This population-based study elucidates bidirectional association between IBD and depression. Elevated risks for either disease among patients and their unaffected siblings suggest shared etiologic contributors, offering novel insight into the gut-brain axis' influence in IBD pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Symptoms of common mental disorders, such as anxiety or depression, are common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and may affect prognosis. However, unlike clinical or biochemical markers of disease activity, psychological health is not a recommended therapeutic target. We assessed relative contribution of poor psychological health and clinical or biochemical activity to prognosis. METHODS Demographic features, IBD subtype, treatments, and anxiety and depression scores were recorded at baseline for 760 adults, with clinical activity determined using validated scoring systems. Fecal calprotectin was analyzed in 379 (49.9%) patients (≥250 μg/g used to define biochemical activity). Glucocorticosteroid prescription or flare, escalation, hospitalization, intestinal resection, or death were assessed during 6.5 years of follow-up. Occurrence was compared using multivariate Cox regression across 4 patient groups according to presence of disease remission or activity, with or without symptoms of a common mental disorder, at baseline. RESULTS In total, 718 (94.5%) participants provided data. Compared with clinical remission without symptoms of a common mental disorder at baseline, need for glucocorticosteroid prescription or flare (hazard ratio [HR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.58-3.54), escalation (HR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.14--2.40), and death (HR, 4.99; 95% CI, 1.80-13.88) were significantly higher in those with clinical activity and symptoms of a common mental disorder. Rates in those with clinical remission and symptoms of a common mental disorder at baseline or those with clinical activity without symptoms of a common mental disorder were not significantly higher. Similarly, with biochemical activity and symptoms of a common mental disorder, rates of glucocorticosteroid prescription or flare (HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.38-4.46), escalation (HR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.74-5.06), hospitalization (HR, 3.10; 95% CI, 1.43-6.68), and death (HR, 6.26; 95% CI, 2.23-17.56) were significantly higher. CONCLUSIONS Psychological factors are important determinants of poor prognostic outcomes in IBD and should be considered as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Background Anxiety and depression are the most common psychological disorders found in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients. Accurate measuring of these disorders should be proposed for a prompt management. Patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) allow patients to self-report their psychological symptoms. Objective To highlight the presence of PROMs measuring anxiety and depression in IBD setting evaluating the most used psychometric tools. Methods We reviewed the literature from 2010 up to September 2021. Articles on adult IBD patients assessing depression and anxiety by PROMs in English language were included. Results Thirty-six studies, including 11 psychometric tools were found. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (21 studies), Beck Depression Inventory II (5 studies), Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (3 studies), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (3 studies), Symptom Checklist-90 (2 studies), Euro Quality of Life (2 studies) mostly used psychometric tools for anxiety and depression in IBD settings. Conclusion Our review analyzed psychometric tools used for PROMs evaluating anxiety and depression in IBD setting. No chronological differences have emerged, all have been used in the last ten years, highlighting a lack of specificity. The strong association between IBD and mood disorders suggests that clinicians should consider the evaluation of depression and anxiety as integral parts of IBD clinical care. It is essential to identify tools enabling these items to be detected better. A global view of IBD patients, accounting not only for physical but also for psychical symptoms with an early and feasible assessment of unrecognized psychiatric disorders, can have a strong impact on their management strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves an abnormal immune response to healthy gut bacteria. When a person develops IBD, their susceptibility to anxiety and/or depression increases. The ACTforIBD programme, specifically designed for people with IBD and comorbid psychological distress, draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which promotes acceptance of situations that cannot be solved such as persistent physical symptoms. There are no ACT trials for IBD using an active control group or a telemedicine approach, which is important to improve accessibility, particularly in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The ACTforIBD programme is administered online with a 4-hour therapist involvement per participant only; if successful it can be widely implemented to improve the well-being of many individuals with IBD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Our team have codesigned with consumers the ACTforIBD programme, an 8-week intervention of 1-hour sessions, with the first three sessions and the last session delivered one-to-one by a psychologist, and the other sessions self-directed online. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of ACTforIBD to reduce psychological distress in patients with IBD. Using a randomised controlled trial, 25 participants will be randomised to ACTforIBD, and 25 patients to an active control condition. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This protocol has been approved by Deakin University Research Ethics Committee in September 2021 (Ref. 2021-263) and the New Zealand Central Health and Disability Ethics Committee in December 2021 (Ref. 2021 EXP 11384). The results of this research will be published in peer-reviewed journals and shared with various stakeholders, including community members, policy-makers and researchers, through local and international conferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide a wholesome view of patient well-being. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate whether PROMs inform risk of unplanned healthcare utilization in patients with IBD. METHODS We identified adult patients with IBD who completed at least two surveys in a large Internet-based cohort within 1 year. We evaluated the association between baseline patient characteristics, disease activity indices, medication use, and PROMs, assessed using NIH Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and subsequent risk of incident hospitalization (at time of first follow-up) within 1 year, and readmission within 1 year (in patients with hospitalization at first follow-up), using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Of 7902 patients with IBD (45.5 year, 72% females, 63% Crohn's disease), 1377 (17.4%) were hospitalized within 1 year. Among PROMs, pain interference (adjusted OR per 5-point increase in PROMIS, 1.09; 95% CI 1.05-1.14), but not depression, anxiety, fatigue or sleep disturbance, was predictive of higher risk of hospitalization. Prior surgery or hospitalization, symptomatic disease, biologic, and corticosteroid use were also associated with higher risk of hospitalization. Of 521 patients hospitalized with IBD, 133 (25.5%) were readmitted within 1 year. Anxiety and pain interference were predictive of higher risk of readmission, whereas depression was associated with lower risk of readmission. CONCLUSIONS In a large Internet-based cohort study, PROMs may have a modest effect on modifying risk of unplanned healthcare utilization in patients with IBD, with pain interference being most consistently associated with increased risk of hospitalization and readmission.

Abstract
Mood disturbances such as anxiety and depression are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and impact negatively on their quality of life and disease course. An integrated multidisciplinary IBD team, which includes access to psychology and psychiatry opinion, makes possible the prompt recognition and management of psychological disturbance in patients with IBD. Based on our experience and existing literature, including systematic reviews of the effectiveness of available treatment modalities, a stepwise approach to the maintenance and restoration of psychological well-being is recommended, evolving upwards from lifestyle advice, through behavioural therapies to pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess composite and aggregate outcomes of observational studies in Crohn's disease and to evaluate whether the number and type of variables included affect the frequency of the outcome. METHODS MEDLINE [via PubMed], Scopus and Web of Science were searched to identify observational studies that enrolled patients with Crohn's disease and evaluated a composite or aggregate outcome. The proportion of patients achieving the outcome was determined and a random-effects meta-analysis was performed to evaluate how the frequency of each outcome varies according to the reporting of predefined variables. RESULTS From 10,257 identified records, 46 were included in the qualitative analysis and 38 in the meta-analysis. The frequency for composite and aggregate outcomes was 0.445 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.389-0.501] and 0.140 (95% CI: 0.000-0.211), respectively. When comparing composite outcomes by number of included variables, the frequency was 0.271 (95% CI: 0.000-0.405) and 0.698 (95% CI: 0.651-0.746), for one and six variables, respectively. The frequency of the composite outcome varied according to the identity of the variables being reported. Specific pairs of predefined variables had a significant effect in the frequency of composite outcomes. CONCLUSION Composite outcomes with increasing number of predefined variables show an increase in frequency. Outcomes including variables such as 'Surgery' and 'Steroids' had higher frequencies when compared with the ones that did not include these variables. These results show that the frequency of composite outcomes is dependent on the number and type of variables being reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Observational studies have suggested a bidirectional association between depression and inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], including Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]. However, it remains unclear whether the observed associations are causal due to the difficulties of determining sequential temporality. We investigated the association between depression and IBD by using bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization [MR]. METHODS Independent genetic variants for depression and IBD were selected as instruments from published genome-wide association studies [GWAS] among individuals of predominantly European ancestry. Summary statistics for instrument-outcome associations were retrieved from three separate databases for both depression [Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, FinnGen and UK Biobank] and IBD [the largest GWAS meta-analysis, FinnGen and UK Biobank], respectively. MR analyses included the inverse-variance-weighted method, weighted-median estimator, MR-Egger regression, and sensitivity analyses of Steiger filtering and MR PRESSO. From either direction, analyses were performed per outcome database and were subsequently meta-analysed using a fixed-effect model. RESULTS Genetically predicted depression [per log-odds ratio increase] was associated with a higher risk of IBD; odds ratios [95% confidence interval] for IBD, CD and UC were 1.20 [1.05, 1.36], 1.29 [1.07, 1.56] and 1.22 [1.01, 1.47] in a combined sample size of 693 183 [36 507 IBD cases], 212 172 [13 714 CD cases] and 219 686 [15 691 UC cases] individuals, respectively. In contrast, no association was observed between genetically influenced IBD and depression in 534 635 individuals [71 466 depression cases]. CONCLUSIONS Our findings corroborated a causal association of depression on IBD, which may impact the clinical decision on the management of depression in patients with IBD. Though our results did not support a causal effect of IBD on depression, further investigations are needed to clarify the effect of IBD activity on depression [with different symptomology].

A Self-management SMS Text Messaging Intervention for People With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Feasibility and Acceptability Study. JMIR Form Res 2022; 6:e34960. [PMID: 35522471 PMCID: PMC9123538 DOI: 10.2196/34960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mobile health technologies can be useful for providing disease self-management information and support to people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test a self-management SMS text messaging intervention for people with IBD. Our goal was to examine intervention feasibility, acceptability, and engagement and to preliminarily evaluate improvements in certain self-reported health outcomes among participants. METHODS We developed an SMS text messaging program called Text4IBD. The program sent daily support messages and resources about disease self-management over the course of a 2-week, single-group, pretest-posttest intervention to participants (N=114) diagnosed with IBD. We examined intervention feasibility, acceptability, and engagement through Text4IBD message topic recall and use of resources (ie, visiting supplemental websites recommended by the Text4IBD program). We also assessed pretest-posttest measures of IBD-related distress, self-efficacy, perceived support, use of coping strategies, and medication adherence. Analyses examined participants' evaluations of the intervention and compared pretest-posttest changes in secondary outcomes using paired-samples statistics. RESULTS Approximately all participants who completed the intervention (n=105) were receptive to Text4IBD and viewed the program as feasible and acceptable. In addition, most participants (103/105, 98.1%) recalled at least one of the message topics sent by the program, and 79% (83/105) of them self-reported engaging with at least one of the external self-management resources recommended by the Text4IBD program. Pretest-posttest results showed reduced IBD-related distress (mean 3.33, SD 0.68 vs mean 2.86, SD 0.73; P<.001) and improvements in most other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Findings from this study highlight the value of SMS text messaging as a useful digital medium for providing support to people with IBD, particularly to those who may struggle with disease-related distress. Text4IBD was highly feasible and acceptable and may help people self-manage their IBD. Future studies should aim to evaluate this program in a randomized controlled trial in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-type symptoms are common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but few studies have examined the prevalence and impact of IBS-type symptoms in IBD according to Rome IV criteria. METHODS We collected demographic, symptom (Rome III, Rome IV, and clinical disease activity indices), psychological (anxiety, depression, and somatization), and quality of life data from 973 IBD patients. Medical records were reviewed to document disease type, extent/location, behavior, medical therapy, and antidepressant or opioid use. We compared characteristics of individuals with no IBS-type symptoms, Rome III IBS-type symptoms, and Rome IV IBS-type symptoms. KEY RESULTS In total, 302 (31.0%) patients met the Rome III criteria for IBS, and 172 (17.7%) met Rome IV criteria. Those with IBS-type symptoms were younger, more likely to be female, and had higher rates of antidepressant (p = 0.006) or opioid use (p = 0.001). Rome IV IBS-type symptoms were associated with symptoms of mood disorders, flare of disease activity, and lower quality of life scores (p < 0.001 for all analyses). Compared with Rome III criteria, those with Rome IV IBS-type symptoms had significantly higher rates of anxiety (p < 0.001), depression (p = 0.002), and somatization (p < 0.001), lower quality of life scores (p < 0.001) and were more likely to have CD (p = 0.011), with ileal distribution (p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Rome IV IBS-type symptoms are associated with increased psychological co-morbidity, lower quality of life scores, and higher rates of antidepressant or opioid use. This is a cohort potentially at risk of adverse clinical outcomes and should be a focus for future research.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by significant interindividual heterogeneity. With a wider selection of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions available and in advanced developmental stages, a priority for the coming decade is to determine accurate methods of predicting treatment response and disease course. Precision medicine strategies will allow tailoring of preventative and therapeutic decisions to individual patient needs. In this review, we consider the future of precision medicine in inflammatory bowel disease. We discuss the critical need to extend from research focused on short-term symptomatic response to integrative multi-omic systems biology strategies to identify and validate biomarkers that underpin precision approaches. Crucially, the international community has collective responsibility to provide well-phenotyped and -curated longitudinal datasets for scientific discovery and validation. Research must also study broader aspects of the immune response, including components of the extracellular matrix, to better understand biological pathways initiating and perpetuating tissue fibrosis and longer-term disease complications.

Abstract
Background Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are prominent in many patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it remains unclear whether MDD patients with GI symptoms have brain imaging alterations in the default mode network (DMN) regions. Methods A total of 35 MDD patients with GI symptoms, 17 MDD patients without GI symptoms, and 28 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. All participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. Network homogeneity (NH) and support vector machine (SVM) methods were used to analyze the imaging data. Results Gastrointestinal group showed higher 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression total scores and factor scores than the non-GI group. Compared with the non-GI group and HCs, the GI group showed decreased NH in the right middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and increased NH in the right precuneus (PCu). The SVM results showed that a combination of NH values of the right PCu and the right MTG exhibited the highest accuracy of 88.46% (46/52) to discriminate MDD patients with GI symptoms from those without GI symptoms. Conclusion Major depressive disorder patients with GI symptoms have more severe depressive symptoms than those without GI symptoms. Distinctive NH patterns in the DMN exist in MDD patients with GI symptoms, which can be applied as a potential brain imaging marker to discriminate MDD patients with GI symptoms from those without GI symptoms.

Curcumin Alleviates DSS-Induced Anxiety-Like Behaviors via the Microbial-Brain-Gut Axis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:6244757.

Abstract
The anxiety and depression caused by inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are known to greatly affect the mental health of patients. The mechanism of psychiatric disorders caused by IBD is not fully understood. Previous research has suggested that the gut microbiome plays a key role in IBD. Curcumin is a yellow polyphenol extracted from the rhizome of the ginger plant, which has been shown to have effects against both depression and anxiety. Research has indicated that curcumin affects the gut microbiome and exerts antianxiety and neuroprotective effects through the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGB). However, whether curcumin can alleviate the psychiatric disorders caused by IBD and how curcumin affects the MGB axis through the gut microbiota have not been fully understood. Therefore, this study was aimed at determining the metabolic parameters and microbiological environment in the peripheral and central nervous system to determine the effects of curcumin against anxiety induced by dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) in mice. To elaborate on the link between the gut microbiota and how curcumin alleviates anxiety-like behaviors, we performed a fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiment. The results suggested that curcumin can effectively relieve anxiety-like behaviors caused by DSS in mice. Further, curcumin treatment can alleviate disturbances in the gut microbiota and systemic disorders of lipid metabolism caused by DSS. Finally, through FMT, we verified that curcumin increased phosphatidylcholine in the prefrontal cortex of the mice and alleviated DSS-induced anxiety-like behaviors by modulating specific gut microbiota. We also revealed that Muribaculaceae may be a key part of the gut microbiota for curcumin to alleviate DSS-induced anxiety-like behaviors through the MGB axis.

Abstract
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) have a high prevalence of mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Gut microbiota imbalance and disturbed metabolism have been suggested to play an important role in either UC or mental disorders. However, little is known about their detailed multi-omics characteristics in patients with UC and depression/anxiety. In this prospective observational study, 240 Chinese patients were enrolled, including 129 patients with active UC (69 in Phase 1 and 60 in Phase 2; divided into depression/non-depression or anxiety/non-anxiety groups), 49 patients with depression and anxiety (non-UC), and 62 healthy people. The gut microbiota of all subjects was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. The serum metabolome and proteome of patients with UC in Phase 2 were analyzed using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Associations between multi-omics were evaluated by correlation analysis. The prophylactic effect of candidate metabolites on the depressive-like behavior of mice with colitis was investigated. In total, 58% of patients with active UC had depression, while 50% had anxiety. Compared to patients with UC without depression/anxiety, patients with UC and depression/anxiety had lower fecal microbial community richness and diversity, with more Lactobacillales, Sellimonas, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus but less Prevotella_9 and Lachnospira. Most metabolites (e.g., glycochenodeoxycholate) were increased in the serum, while few metabolites, including 2'-deoxy-D-ribose and L-pipecolic acid, were decreased, accompanied by a general reduction in immunoglobulin proteins. These related bacteria, metabolites, and proteins were highly connected. A prophylactic administration of 2'-deoxy-D-ribose and L-pipecolic acid significantly reduced the depressive-like behaviors in mice with colitis and alleviated the inflammatory cytokine levels in their colon, blood and brain. This study has identified a comprehensive multi-omics network related to depression and anxiety in active UC. It is composed of a certain set of gut microbiota, metabolites, and proteins, which are potential targets for clinical intervention for patients with UC and depression/anxiety.

Seewoo BJ, Chua EG, Arena-Foster Y, Hennessy LA, Gorecki AM, Anderton R, Rodger J. Changes in the rodent gut microbiome following chronic restraint stress and low-intensity rTMS. Neurobiol Stress 2022; 17:100430. [PMID: 35146078 PMCID: PMC8819474 DOI: 10.1016/j.ynstr.2022.100430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Gut microbiome composition is associated with mood-relating behaviours, including those reflecting depression-like phenotypes. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, is an effective treatment for depression, but its effects on the gut microbiome remain largely unknown. This study assessed microbial changes from rat faecal samples longitudinally following chronic restraint stress (CRS) and 10 Hz low-intensity rTMS treatment. CRS increased abundance within the Proteobacteria (Deltaproteobacteria, Desulfovibrionales) and Firmicutes (Anaerostipes, Frinsingococcus), with decreases in Firmicutes family (Acidaminococcaceae) and genera (Roseburia, Phascolarctobacterium and Fusicatenibacter) persisting for up to 4 weeks post CRS. The decrease in Firmicutes was not observed in the handling control and LI-rTMS groups, suggesting that handling alone may have sustained changes in gut microbiome associated with CRS. Nonetheless, LI-rTMS was specifically associated with an increase in Roseburia genus that developed 2 weeks after treatment, and the abundance of both Roseburia and Fusicatenibacter genera was significantly correlated with rTMS behavioural and MRI outcomes. In addition, LI-rTMS treated rats had a reduction in apoptosis pathways and several indicators of reduced inflammatory processes. These findings provide evidence that the brain can influence the gut microbiome in a "top-down" manner, presumably via stimulation of descending pathways, and/or indirectly via behavioural modification.

Composite outcomes in observational studies of ulcerative colitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. United European Gastroenterol J 2022; 10:54-72.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis (UC) has been the focus of numerous observational studies over the years and a common strategy employed in their design is the use of composite and aggregate outcomes. OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify composite and aggregate outcomes of observational studies in UC and to evaluate how the number and type of variables included and the length of follow-up affect the frequency of patients that achieve these outcomes. METHODS A systematic literature search was carried out using MEDLINE [via PubMed], Scopus, and Web of Science online databases. Observational studies that included UC patients and reported composite or aggregate outcomes were identified. A set of variables considered to be representative of progressive or disabling UC was defined, the proportion of patients attaining the outcomes was determined and a random-effects meta-analysis was performed by dividing the identified studies into subgroups according to different criteria of interest. RESULTS A total of 10,264 records were identified in the systematic search, of which 33 were retained for qualitative analysis and 20 were included in the meta-analysis. The mean frequency for composite outcomes was 0.363 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.323-0.403]. The frequency of composite outcome for the subgroup of studies that included the variable "Biologics" was significantly higher than for those in which this variable was not reported [0.410; 95% CI 0.364-0.457 versus 0.298; 95% CI 0.232-0.364; p = 0.006]. Composite outcomes were also more frequent as the follow-up duration increased. CONCLUSION The frequency of composite outcomes in observational studies of UC is dependent on the specific identity of the variables being reported. Moreover, longer follow-up periods are associated with higher frequencies of composite outcomes. The evidence provided here is useful for the design of future observational studies of UC that aim to maximize the frequency of patients that achieve composite outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a polygenic, and highly prevalent disorder affecting 322 million people globally. It results in several psychological changes which adversely affect different dimensions of life and may lead to suicide. METHODS Whole exome sequencing of 15 MDD patients, enrolled at the Dr. A. Q. Khan Institute of Behavioral Sciences, Karachi, was performed using NextSeq500. Different bioinformatics tools and databases like ANNOVAR, ALoFT, and GWAS were used to identify both common and rare variants associated with the pathogenesis of MDD. RESULTS A total of 1985 variations were identified in 479 MDD-related genes. Several SNPs including rs1079610, rs11750538, rs1799913, rs1801131, rs2230267, rs2231187, rs3819976, rs4314963, rs56265970, rs587780434, rs6330, rs75111588, rs7596487, and rs9624909 were prioritized due to their deleteriousness and frequency difference between the patients and the South Asian population. A non-synonymous variation rs56265970 (BCR) had 26% frequency in patients and was not found in the South Asian population; a multiallelic UTR-5' insertion rs587780434 (RELN) was present with an allelic frequency of 70% in patients whereas 22% in the SAS population. Genetic alterations in PABPC1 genes, a stress-associated gene also had higher allele frequency in the cases than in the normal population. CONCLUSION This present study identifies both common and rare variants in the genes associated with the pathogenesis of MDD in Pakistani patients. Genetic variations in BCR, RELN, and stress-associated PABPC1 suggest potential roles in the pathogenesis of MDD.

Abstract
The number of Americans 65 years or older in 2060 will be more than double what it was in 2014. Approximately 40% of patients seen in gastroenterology (GI) and hepatology practices in the United States are 60 years or older. Adapting care delivery models, curating data on shifting risk-benefit decisions with geriatric syndromes, understanding appropriate assessments, and focusing on tailored implementation strategies are challenges that are actively confronting us as we provide care for a burgeoning population of older adults. Limited availability of geriatric specialists results in an onus of specialists caring for older adults, such as gastroenterologists, to innovate and develop tailored, comprehensive, and evidence-based care for adults in later life stages. In this article, we present the 5M framework from geriatrics to achieve age-friendly healthcare. The 5Ms are medications, mind, mobility, multicomplexity, and what matters most. We apply the 5M framework to 2 chronic conditions commonly encountered in clinical GI practice: inflammatory bowel diseases and cirrhosis. We highlight knowledge gaps and outline future directions to expand evidence-based care and advance the creation of age-friendly GI care.
