Rates of Endoscopic Recurrence In Postoperative Crohn's Disease Based on Anastomotic Techniques: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2024; 30:1877-1887. [PMID: 37931290 DOI: 10.1093/ibd/izad252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) after ileocolic resection may develop an endoscopic postoperative recurrence (ePOR) that reaches 40% to 70% of incidence within 6 months. Recently, there has been growing interest in the potential effect of anastomotic configurations on ePOR. Kono-S anastomosis has been proposed for reducing the risk of clinical and ePOR. Most studies have assessed the association of ileocolonic anastomosis and ePOR individually, while there is currently limited data simultaneously comparing several types of anastomosis. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of different ileocolonic anastomosis on ePOR in CD. METHODS We searched PubMed and Embase from inception to January 2023 for eligible studies reporting the types of anastomoses and, based on these, the rate of endoscopic recurrence at ≥6 months. Studies were grouped by conventional anastomosis, including side-to-side, end-to-end, and end-to-side vs Kono-S, and comparisons were made between these groups. Pooled incidence rates of ePOR were computed using random-effect modelling. RESULTS Seventeen studies, with 2087 patients who underwent ileocolic resection for CD were included. Among these patients, 369 (17,7%) Kono-S anastomoses were performed, while 1690 (81,0%) were conventional ileocolic anastomosis. Endoscopic postoperative recurrence at ≥6 months showed a pooled incidence of 37.2% (95% CI, 27.7-47.2) with significant heterogeneity among the studies (P < .0001). In detail, patients receiving a Kono-S anastomosis had a pooled incidence of ePOR of 24.7% (95% CI, 6.8%-49.4%), while patients receiving a conventional anastomosis had an ePOR of 42.6% (95% CI, 32.2%-53.4%). CONCLUSIONS Kono-S ileocolic anastomosis was more likely to decrease the risk of ePOR at ≥6 months compared with conventional anastomosis. Our findings highlight the need to implement the use of Kono-S anastomosis, particularly for difficult to treat patients. However, results from larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these data.

Management of complications in patients with an ileostomy: an umbrella review of systematic reviews for the EndOTrial Consortium. Int J Colorectal Dis 2024; 39:147. [PMID: 39304546 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-024-04714-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Standardized clinical care processes for patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and a permanent ileostomy (PI) are lacking. The EndOTrial consortium aims to address this gap by developing pathways for care. METHODS In this umbrella review, we searched major databases for relevant systematic reviews (SRs) or scoping reviews (ScR) published until January 5, 2024. Screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal (AMSTAR 2) were performed by two independent reviewers. RESULTS Of 1349 screened papers, 22 reviews met our inclusion criteria, including 20 SRs (eight with meta-analysis) and 2 ScRs. None exclusively focused on PI. Furthermore, nine reviews did not mention patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and only two reviews included patients with high-output ileostomy, highlighting a large evidence gap. The identified reviews covered six categories with nine types of interventions, including ostomy care pathways, peristomal skin care, patient education, clinical management of high-output stoma, management and prevention of postoperative ileus, dietary and nutritional support, nursing and supporting care, telemedicine, and self-management interventions. Most SRs including nursing interventions for stoma care highlighted nurses' role in a variety of standard and specialized treatments. Notably, none of the reviews exclusively examined disease recurrence, stoma pouching systems or adhesives, behavioral interventions, or mental health in patients living with ileostomy. CONCLUSIONS Evidence for best practice interventions to treat complications and improve quality of life in patients living with an ileostomy for CD is limited and heterogeneous. These results outline the need for standardized clinical care processes and pathways tailored to the unique needs of this patient population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pediatric patients with ileocecal Crohn's Disease (CD) refractory to medical management frequently require ileocecectomy. However, risk factors for post-operative ileocecal recurrence and appropriate management strategies are poorly defined in the pediatric literature in the biologic era. METHODS We queried our institutional database from 1/1/2012-12/31/2022 for patients aged 1-21 who underwent primary ileocecectomy for CD. We analyzed baseline characteristics, operative details, medical management, recurrence patterns, and management patterns. RESULTS We identified 208 patients who underwent primary ileocecal resection, of which 66 (23%) demonstrated endoscopic recurrence at 2.1 ± 0.5 years and 28 (13%) developed clinical recurrence at 2.5 ± 0.8 years. Recurrence was at the surgical anastomosis in 43 (21%). Before surgery, 138 (66%) were treated with a biologic, of which 25 (18%) were transitioned to a second line biologic pre-operatively. Requiring a separate intervention for perianal or intestinal disease increased the odds of recurrence on multivariable analysis, as did requiring a second line biologic. Of those with endoscopic recurrence, most [62/66 (94%)] were successfully managed with medical optimization alone. Only four (6.7%) required procedural intervention with two being managed with endoscopic balloon dilation and two requiring repeat resection and re-anastomosis. Median follow up was 2.6 years [IQR 1.2-4.5]. CONCLUSION Requiring separate interventions for perianal or intestinal disease and demonstrating disease difficult to medically control may increase the risk of recurrent post-operative ileocecal CD. Such patients should be closely surveilled for endoscopic recurrence and may warrant more aggressive medical regimens. Recurrence can typically be managed medically with few patients requiring procedural intervention. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification for endoscopic post-operative recurrence (ePOR) in Crohn's disease (CD) is required to identify patients who would benefit most from initiation of prophylactic medication and intensive monitoring of recurrence. AIMS To assess the current evidence on patient-related, microbial, surgical and histopathological risk factors for ePOR in patients with CD after ileocolic (re-)resection. METHODS Multiple online databases (Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library) were searched up to March 2024. Studies with reported associations of patient-related, microbial, surgical and/or histopathological factors for ePOR (i.e., Rutgeerts' score ≥i2 or modified Rutgeerts' score ≥i2a) were included. The risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational cohort studies and case-control studies. RESULTS In total, 47 studies were included (four RCTs, 29 cohort studies, 12 case-control studies, one cross-sectional study and one individual participant data meta-analysis) including 6006 patients (median sample size 87 patients [interquartile range 46-170]). Risk of bias assessment revealed a poor quality in 41% of the studies. An association was reported in multiple studies of ePOR with active smoking at and post-surgery, male sex and prior bowel resection. A heterogeneous association with ePOR was reported for other risk factors included in the current guidelines (penetrating disease, perianal disease, younger age, extensive small bowel disease and presence of granulomas in the resection specimen or myenteric plexitis in the resection margin), and other patient-related, microbial, surgical and histopathological factors. CONCLUSION Risk factors for ePOR in international guidelines are not consistently reported as risk factors in current literature except for active smoking and prior bowel resection. To develop evidence-based, personalised strategies, large prospective studies are warranted to identify risk factors for ePOR. Validation studies of promising (bio)markers are also required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic condition characterized by a high recurrence rate after surgery, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Many studies have explored the risk factors for the recurrence of CD after surgery, there is a lack of meta-analysis focusing on endoscopic postoperative recurrence (ePOR) as a clinical outcome. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the risk factors for ePOR in CD patients through systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for related literature from inception to 17th October 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted information. Data analysis was performed using Stata18.0. RESULTS Twenty-three papers were included, with 5 case-control studies and 18 cohort studies. The National Institutes of Health quality assessment tool rated 17 studies as good and 6 studies as fair. The sample size of the 23 studies ranged from 40 to 346, and the number of patients with ePOR ranged from 23 to 169. The results of multivariate meta-analysis showed that smoking [OR = 2.06, 95% CI (1.65, 2.57), P = 0.0001], previous ileocolonic resection [OR = 1.71, 95% CI (1.23, 2.38), P = 0.002], disease localization at ileocolic resection [OR = 2.68, 95% CI (1.38, 5.22), P = 0.004], perianal disease [OR = 1.47, 95% CI (1.07, 2.03), P = 0.017], and anastomotic scattered ulcer [OR = 3.39, 95% CI (1.83, 6.28), P = 0.001] were risk factors for ePOR in CD patients. Postoperative prophylactic medication [OR = 0.53, 95% CI (0.38,0.75), P = 0.0001] was a protective factor for ePOR in CD patients. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review identified multiple factors for ePOR in CD patients, as well as a protective factor. However, the number of articles included was limited. More high-quality clinical studies are required to further validate the conclusions. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42023483671).

Abstract
Skip lesions are an enigmatic spatial feature characterizing Crohn's disease (CD). They comprise inflamed and adjacent non-inflamed tissue sections with a clear demarcation. Currently, spatial features of the human gastrointestinal (GI) system lack clarity regarding the organization of microbes, mucus, tissue, and host cells during inflammation. New technologies with multiplexing abilities and innovative approaches provide ways of examining the spatial organization of inflamed and non-inflamed tissues in CD, which may open new avenues for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. In this review, we present evidence of the relevance of spatial context in patients with CD and the methods and ideas recently published in studies of spatiality during inflammation. With this review, we aim to provide inspiration for further research to address existing gaps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Multiple factors are suggested to place Crohn's disease patients at risk of recurrence after ileocolic resection with conflicting associations. We aimed to identify clinical predictors of recurrence at first [early] and further [late] postoperative colonoscopy. METHODS Crohn's disease patients undergoing ileocolic resection were prospectively recruited at six North American centres. Clinical data were collected and endoscopic recurrence was defined as Rutgeerts score ≥i2. A multivariable model was fitted to analyse variables independently associated with recurrence. RESULTS A total of 365 patients undergoing 674 postoperative colonoscopies were included with a median age of 32 years, 189 [51.8%] were male, and 37 [10.1%] were non-Whites. Postoperatively, 133 [36.4%] used anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] and 30 [8.2%] were smokers. At first colonoscopy, 109 [29.9%] had recurrence. Male gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-3.40), non-White ethnicity [OR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.09-5.63], longer interval between surgery and colonoscopy [OR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.002-1.18], and postoperative smoking [OR = 2.78, 95% CI 1.16-6.67] were associated with recurrence, while prophylactic anti-TNF reduced the risk [OR = 0.28, 95% CI 0.14-0.55]. Postoperative anti-TNF prophylaxis had a protective effect on anti-TNF experienced patients but not on anti-TNF naïve patients. Among patients without recurrence at first colonoscopy, Rutgeerts score i1 was associated with subsequent recurrence [OR = 4.43, 95% CI 1.73-11.35]. CONCLUSIONS We identified independent clinical predictors of early and late Crohn's disease postoperative endoscopic recurrence. Clinical factors traditionally used for risk stratification failed to predict recurrence and need to be revised.

Abstract
Introduction Multiple therapies are currently available for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); it is therefore crucial to understand patterns of drug change. This study aimed to examine the patterns of biological drug change and identify predictors of change in patients with IBD. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with IBD who were initiated on treatment with biologics between June 2017 and October 2022. The study's primary objective was to describe biologic drug change patterns. Secondary outcomes included identifying predictors of drug change. Results 910 patients were screened; 475 patients were eligible, 319 (67%) had Crohn's disease (CD), and 253 (53.3%) were males. The most selected first and second choices of biologic were adalimumab (58.2% and 39.1%, p < 0.001) and infliximab (37.6% and 48.9%, p = 0.004) for both CD and ulcerative colitis (UC), respectively. On multiple regression analysis, a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) (OR = 3.60, p = 0.025) and smoking (OR = 0.34, p = 0.026) were associated with drug change for all patients. When stratified by disease subtype, drug change was associated with a diagnosis made between age 17 and 40 years (OR = 0.46, p = 0.024) and extra-intestinal manifestations (OR = 2.07, p = 0.015) in CD while selecting vedolizumab as the first biologic (OR = 0.30, p = 0.041), male gender (OR = 2.40, p = 0.043), and history of VTE (OR = 7.32, p = 0.031) were associated with drug change in UC. Conclusions Despite introducing several new biologics, anti-TNF therapies remain the preferred first and second choice of biologics for patients with IBD. Multiple predictors of drug change over time exist for both diseases. Selecting vedolizumab as the first biologic for UC is associated with a lower risk of drug change.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with different phenotypes of presentation, inflammatory, penetrating, or stricturing disease, that significantly impacts patient well-being and quality of life. Despite advances in medical therapy, surgery sometimes represents the only treatment to address complications, such as strictures, fistulas, or abscesses. Minimizing postoperative recurrence (POR) remains a major challenge for both clinicians and patients; consequently, various therapeutic strategies have been developed to prevent or delay POR. The current review outlines an updated overview of POR management. We focused on diagnostic assessment, which included endoscopic examination, biochemical analyses, and cross-sectional imaging techniques, all crucial tools used to accurately diagnose this condition. Additionally, we delved into the associated risk factors contributing to POR development. Furthermore, we examined recent advances in the prophylaxis and treatment of POR in CD.

Early Initiation of Adalimumab Significantly Diminishes Postoperative Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Recurrence and Is Superior to 6-Mercaptopurine Therapy: An Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7600. [PMID: 38137669 PMCID: PMC10743980 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12247600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Postoperative recurrence (POR) is the rule in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), mitigated with prophylactic therapy. The evidence for therapeutic choice and timing of intervention is lacking. We aimed to compare the rates of POR in patients treated early with prophylactic 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) or adalimumab. We conducted a prospective single-center randomized open-label clinical study in which patients in surgical remission following their first ileocecectomy were randomized to receive early treatment with 6-MP or adalimumab. Patients were followed up clinically every 3 months and underwent endoscopy at weeks 32 and 58 postoperatively. The primary endpoint was endoscopic recurrence (ePOR) at 1 year (week 58), defined as a Rutgeerts score ≥ i2. We enrolled 35 patients (25 males, mean age 35 ± 1.4 years, median disease duration 5 ± 6.1 years) following ileocecectomy. Of these, seven (20%) were current smokers and nine (26%) biologics-experienced. Patients allocated to adalimumab had significantly less ePOR than patients treated with 6MP at week 32 (21% vs. 69%, p = 0.004) and 58 (47% vs. 75%), (p = 0.03, HR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.16-0.93). POR was associated with an increased diameter of the resected small bowel surgical specimen, lower baseline body mass index (BMI), increased week 18 fecal calprotectin, increased week 18 serum alanine aminotransferase and decreased week 18 hemoglobin level. Adalimumab was more effective than 6-MP in preventing ePOR. Increased operative small bowel diameter and lower postoperative BMI were associated with ePOR. At eighteen weeks, serum hemoglobin, ALT and fecal calprotectin levels were predictive of endoscopic disease recurrence. (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT01629628).

Abstract
Despite the introduction of potent biologic therapies, many patients with Crohn's disease [CD] still require an ileocolonic resection [ICR] during the course of their disease. Furthermore, the need of redo ICR has not decreased over the past few decades, highlighting the need for better strategies to prevent and treat postoperative recurrence [POR]. The first step to develop such a strategy would be to define and standardise the description of POR with adequate diagnostic instruments. In this article, we will describe the different methodologies used to report POR [endoscopic, histological, radiological, biochemical, clinical, and surgical], and review their potential benefits and limitations, as well as the optimal timing of evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS While immediate post-operative treatment has shown effectiveness in reducing endoscopic post-operative recurrence (POR), evidence regarding the clinical benefit is limited. We compared rates of clinical POR in Crohn's disease (CD) patients receiving immediate prophylactic treatment with patients receiving endoscopy-driven treatment. METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 376 consecutive CD patients that underwent an ileocecal resection with anastomosis between 2007 and 2018 with at least 3 years of follow-up at 3 sites. Subsequently, high- and low-risk patients categorized by established guidelines who underwent endoscopy within 12 months postoperatively were grouped according to a prophylactic- or endoscopy-driven approach and compared for incidence and time till endoscopic- and clinical POR. RESULTS Prophylactic treatment reduced rates of- and time till endoscopic POR within 1 year in high-risk (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.27-0.86, p=0.04, NNT=5) but not low-risk (HR 0.90, 95%CI 0.32-2.56, p=0.85) patients. Conversely, no significant differences in clinical POR within 3 years between prophylactic- and endoscopy-driven low-risk (HR 1.17, 95%CI 0.41-3.29, p=0.75) and high-risk patients were observed (HR 1.06, 95%CI 0.63-1.79, p=0.82, NNT=22). However, a large numerical albeit not statistical significant difference in 3 year clinical POR (28.6% vs. 62.5%, p=0.11) in a subset of high-risk patients with ≥3 or more ECCO-defined risk factors was observed, indicating a cumulative effect of having multiple risk factors. CONCLUSION Our observations favor step-up treatment guided by early endoscopic evaluation with prophylactic treatment reserved for carefully selected high-risk patients in order to avoid potential overtreatment of a significant number of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD) and Modified Multiplied SES-CD (MM-SES-CD) scores with the Rutgeerts score for predicting clinical recurrence (CR) of postoperative Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS This post hoc analysis of the prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing remicade and placebo in the prevention of recurrence in Crohn's disease patients undergoing surgical resection who are at an increased risk of recurrence (PREVENT) study used receiver operating characteristic curve analyses to compare the Rutgeerts, SES-CD, and MM-SES-CD scores at week 76 for subsequent CR by week 104 in 208 participants. Multivariate logistic regression models evaluated cutoffs for the odds of experiencing CR by week 104, after adjustment for confounders. CR was defined as Crohn's Disease Activity Index score ≥200 and ≥70-point increase from baseline (or development of fistulas, abscesses, or treatment failure) and endoscopic recurrence by week 104, defined as Rutgeerts score ≥i2. RESULTS The week 76 Rutgeerts score predicted CR by week 104 with fair accuracy (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUC], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.83), which was similar to the SES-CD ileum score (AUC, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.64-0.80) and the MM-SES-CD ileum score (AUC, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.63-0.80). Compared with cutoffs by the other scores, the MM-SES-CD total score ≥26 at week 76 had the highest odds ratio to predict CR by week 104. Patients with a week 76 MM-SES-CD total score ≥26 were 4.41 times (95% CI, 2.06-9.43, P < .001) more likely to have CR by week 104 compared with those with an MM-SES-CD total score <26. CONCLUSIONS The SES-CD and MM-SES-CD perform similarly to the Rutgeerts score for predicting subsequent CR of postoperative CD. The MM-SES-CD threshold of ≥26 was predictive of postoperative CR. Clinicians and trialists could consider using the SES-CD or MM-SES-CD to assess postoperative CD given their ability to capture colonic disease recurrence and predict CR.
