Is extended venous thromboprophylaxis required in patients undergoing ileal pouch procedure for ulcerative colitis? Colorectal Dis 2024; 26:726-733. [PMID: 38374529 DOI: 10.1111/codi.16912] [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] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
AIM Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are relatively common adverse surgical complications. Extended VTE prophylaxis for 4 weeks is recommended after colorectal cancer surgery, but its use in inflammatory bowel disease surgery lacks high-quality evidence. This retrospective study aimed to assess and characterize VTEs within the first 30 days after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) procedures and subtotal colectomies (STCs) for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS All patients who underwent IPAA for UC between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2021 were included. VTE rates after IPAA, in-hospital or at-home occurrences, utilization of in-hospital thromboprophylaxis, and prescribed anticoagulant treatment were evaluated. Retrospectively, the same variables were analysed if patients of the cohort underwent STC before the IPAA construction. RESULTS In all, 204 patients underwent IPAA (61.8% men, 73% laparoscopic), with an average hospital stay of 6.8 days. Among them, 116 patients underwent STC prior to IPAA. Thirteen patients (6.3%) experienced VTEs after IPAA, with 76.9% (10/13) of cases occurring during hospitalization and under adequate thromboprophylaxis. The VTE rate after STC was 10.3% (12/116), with 58.2% (7/12) occurring in hospital and under appropriate thromboprophylaxis. No reoperations or mortality were attributed to thrombotic events. The type and duration of anticoagulant treatment varied considerably. CONCLUSION The VTE rate after IPAA for UC was 6.3%, with the majority of events occurring in hospital and under adequate thromboprophylaxis. These findings suggest that routine use of extended VTE prophylaxis in our cohort may not be supported. Further research is needed to clarify the optimal VTE prophylaxis strategy for inflammatory bowel disease surgery.

Abstract
Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) is a distinctive ulcerative colitis flare presentation characterised by the presence of systemic inflammation as well as bloody diarrhoea, and occurs at least once in 25% of patients with ulcerative colitis during their disease course. Each episode carries a risk of complications, need for colectomy, and mortality. Little is known about ASUC pathogenesis, although impaired host-microbiota crosstalk involving pathobionts is suspected. In this Review, we discuss unanswered questions and results from the latest research on the medical-first-line, second-line, and potential third-line therapies-and surgical management of ASUC. We detail promising options for management, such as the use of enteral nutrition in combination with intravenous steroids, the ability to predict early failure of first-line or second-line therapies, and the emerging role of JAK inhibitors. An optimal framework to personalise therapy on the basis of multiomics tools is yet to be developed.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which encompasses Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, experience chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Those with IBD face a higher risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared to individuals without IBD. This escalated risk is associated with various factors, some modifiable and others non-modifiable, with disease activity being the primary concern. Interestingly, Janus Kinase inhibitors approved for the treatment of IBD may be associated with an increased risk of VTE but only in patients that have other underlying risk factors leading to an overall increased VTE risk. Several recognized medical societies have recommended the use of VTE prophylaxis for hospitalized individuals with IBD. The association between VTE and IBD and the need for pharmacologic prophylaxis remains under-recognized. Increased awareness of this complication can hopefully protect patients from a potentially deadly complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Compared to those without inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], women with IBD may have increased healthcare utilization during pregnancy and postpartum, though this remains to be confirmed. We aimed to characterize this healthcare use between these groups. METHODS Administrative databases were accessed to identify women [aged 18-55 years] with and without IBD who had a live, singleton pregnancy between 2003 and 2018. Differences in emergency department [ED] visits, hospitalizations and prenatal care during 12 months preconception, pregnancy and 12 months postpartum were characterized. Multivariable negative binomial regression was performed to report incidence rate ratios [IRRs] with 95% confidence intervals [95% CIs]. Covariates included maternal age at conception, location of residence, socioeconomic status and maternal comorbidity. RESULTS In total, 6163 women with IBD [9158 pregnancies] and 1091 013 women without IBD [1729 411 pregnancies] were included. Women with IBD were more likely to visit the ED [IRR 1.13, 95% CI 1.08-1.18] and be hospitalized [IRR 1.11, 95% CI 1.01-1.21] during pregnancy, and visit the ED [IRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.15-1.27] and be hospitalized [IRR 1.18, 95% CI 1.05-1.32] during postpartum. On unadjusted analysis, women with IBD were more likely to be hospitalized for venous thromboembolic events. There was no difference in healthcare use in preconception. Finally, women with IBD also had a greater number of prenatal visits during pregnancy and were more likely to receive a first-trimester prenatal visit. CONCLUSION Women with IBD have increased healthcare utilization during pregnancy and postpartum. Efforts should be made to increase ambulatory care access during this period, which in turn may reduce this health-services utilization.

Abstract
Importance Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) and COVID-19 are independently associated with venous thromboembolisms (VTEs). Objective To determine if individuals with IMIDs are at higher risk of VTE following COVID-19 infection compared with individuals without IMIDs. Design, Setting, and Participants Population-based matched cohort study using multiple deterministically linked health administrative databases from Ontario, Canada, and including patients testing positive for COVID-19 between January 1, 2020, and December 30, 2021, and followed up until March 31, 2022. Individuals with IMIDs (n = 28 440) who tested positive for COVID-19 were matched with up to 5 individuals without an IMID (n = 126 437) who tested positive for COVID-19. Matching was based on year of birth, sex, neighborhood income, and rural/urban residence. Data analysis was performed from August 6, 2022, to August 21, 2023. Exposure Diagnosis of an IMID, identified using algorithms based on diagnostic codes, procedures, and specialist visits. Main Outcome and Measure The main outcome was estimated age- and sex-standardized incidence of VTE. Proportional cause-specific hazard models compared the risk of VTE in people with and without IMIDs. Death was a competing risk. Models adjusted for history of VTE, 2 or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine 14 or more days prior to COVID-19 diagnosis, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Routinely collected health data were used, so the hypothesis tested was formulated after data collection but prior to being granted access to data. Results The study included 28 440 individuals (16 741 [58.9%] female; 11 699 [41.1%] male) with an IMID diagnosed prior to first COVID-19 diagnosis, with a mean (SD) age of 52.1 (18.8) years at COVID-19 diagnosis. These individuals were matched to 126 437 controls without IMIDs. The incidence of VTE within 6 months of COVID-19 diagnosis among 28 440 individuals with an IMID was 2.64 (95% CI, 2.23-3.10) per 100 000 person-days compared with 2.18 (95% CI, 1.99-2.38) per 100 000 person-days among 126 437 matched individuals without IMIDs. The VTE risk was not statistically significantly different among those with vs without IMIDs (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.95-1.32). Conclusions and Relevance In this retrospective population-based cohort study of individuals with IMIDs following COVID-19, individuals with IMIDs did not have a higher risk of VTE compared with individuals without an IMID. These data provide reassurance to clinicians caring for individuals with IMIDs and COVID-19.

Abstract
RATIONALE Venous thromboembolism is one of the common complications of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is a significant health problem worldwide. Factors such as inflammation, medications, and abdominal surgery, contribute to the increased risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with IBD. Cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) is a relatively rare complications of IBD. Subsequent portal hypertension could be fatal and the clinical treatment is difficult. Thus, early prevention is very crucial. PATIENT CONCERNS A 55-year-old man presented to our department with asthenia, hematemesis, and diarrhea. He was diagnosed with Crohn disease for 9 years. Two years ago, He suffered intestinal perforation and received enterectomy and ileostomy. And, anticoagulants were not given during perioperative period and after surgery because of the history of gastrointestinal bleeding. DIAGNOSES The patient was given endoscopy inspection showing the varices of esophagus and gastric fundus near cardia. Contrast enhancement CT scan showed portal hypertension, CTPV, gastroesophageal varices, and splenomegaly. Then percutaneous transhepatic portography was performed to make a clear diagnosis. INTERVENTIONS Concerned about the risk of surgery, he refused surgical shunting. Conservative treatment was recommended due to technical difficulties instead of interventional therapy. OUTCOMES And after a period of fasting, blood transfusion, and parenteral nutrition treatment, the patient did not experience any further vomiting or hematemesis. LESSONS Early identification and treatment of CTPV is difficult. Prevention such as early application of anticoagulant is necessary for patients with IBD undergoing surgery, particularly with simultaneous stoma formation. For IBD patients who are not suitable for anticoagulant therapy, postoperative follow-up monitoring should be more frequent and monitoring time should be extended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recommendations regarding venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients admitted to the hospital for IBD continue to evolve. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the 90-day rate and risk factors of deep venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism in cohorts of patients with IBD admitted to medical and surgical services. DESIGN This was a retrospective review. SETTING The study was conducted at a quaternary IBD referral center. PATIENTS The study included adult patients ( > 18 y of age) with a known diagnosis of either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who had an inpatient hospital admission for IBD between January 1, 2002, and January 1, 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measures were 90-day rate of deep venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism among admitted patients. RESULTS A total of 86,276 hospital admissions from 16,551 patients with IBD occurred between January 1, 2002, and January 1, 2020. A total of 35,992 patients (41.7%) were given subcutaneous heparin for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, and 8188 patients (9.49%) were given enoxaparin for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis during the inpatient hospital admission. From the date of hospital admission, the 90-day rate of deep venous thromboembolism was 4.3% (n = 3664); of these, 1731 patients (47%) were diagnosed during the admission and 1933 patients (53%) were diagnosed after discharge. From the date of hospital admission, the 90-day rate of pulmonary embolism was 2.4% (n = 2040); of these, 960 patients (47%) were diagnosed during admission and 1080 patients (53%) were diagnosed after discharge. LIMITATIONS The study was limited by its retrospective nature and unmeasured severity of the disease. CONCLUSIONS Patients admitted for IBD had a 90-day deep venous thromboembolism event rate of 4.3% and pulmonary embolism event rate of 2.4%. More than half of the events occurred after discharge, and venous thromboembolism events were higher among patients with IBD admitted to a medical service than those admitted to a surgical service.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients admitted to hospital with inflammatory bowel disease[IBD] are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism[VTE]. This study aims to identify IBD patients at increased VTE risk on hospital discharge and to develop a risk scoring system to recognise them. METHODS Hospital episode statistics data were used to identify all patients admitted with IBD as an emergency or electively for surgery. All patients with VTE within 90 days of hospital discharge were identified. A multilevel logistic regression model was used to identify patient- and admission-level factors associated with VTE. A scoring system to identify patients at higher risk for VTE was constructed. RESULTS A total of 201 779 admissions in 101 966 patients were included. The rate of VTE within 90 days was 17.2 per 1000 patient-years at risk and was highest in patients admitted as an emergency who underwent surgery[36.9]. VTE was associated with: female sex (odds ratio 0.65 [95% confidence interval 0.53-0.80], p <0.001); increasing age [49-60 years] (4.67 [3.36-6.49], p <0.001); increasing length of hospital stay [>10 days] (3.80 [2.80-5.15], p <0.001); more than two hospital admissions in previous 3 months (2.23 [1.60-3.10], p <0.001); ulcerative colitis (1.48 [1.21-1.82], p <0.001); and emergency admission including surgery (1.59 [1.12-2.27], p = 0.010); or emergency admission not including surgery (1.59 [1.08-2.35], p = 0.019) compared with elective surgery. A score >12 in the VTE scoring system gave a positive predictive value [PPV] of VTE of 1%. The area under the curve [AUC] was 0.714 [95% CI 0.70-0.73]. CONCLUSION IBD patients admitted to hospital with a prolonged length of stay, increasing age, male sex, or as an emergency were at increased risk of VTE following discharge. Higher-risk patients were identifiable by a VTE risk scoring system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study aims to determine the prevalence of CVD and VTE risk factors in a large population of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 33 French and Belgium referral centers. A questionnaire was developed to explore self-reported risk factors for VTE and CVD, based on the latest international guidelines, in consecutive patients with UC. RESULTS A total of 1071 patients with UC were included. There were 539 women (50.3%), and the median age of patients was 44 years [32; 57]. The median disease duration was 10 years [6; 17]. In the cohort, 36.5% of patients reported no cardiovascular risk factor (CVRF) and 72% had ≤ 1 CVRF. Regarding cardiovascular risk markers (CVRM) 36.9% of patients reported no CVRM and 78% had ≤ 1 CVRM. Of the 1071 patients, 91.3% of patients reported no VTE strong risk factor and 96% had ≤ 1 VTE moderate risk factor. CONCLUSION This is the first cohort specifically designed to assess both VTE and CVD risks in patients with UC. More than one third of patients with UC had no CVRF and around three quarters had ≤ 1 CVRF. In addition, more than nine out of ten patients had no VTE strong risk factor and ≤ 1 moderate risk factor. Physicians should be aware of these factors in their patients.

Abstract
Introduction The risk of inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) is known to increase with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and a family history of CRC. However, the impact of comorbidities such as liver disease, obesity, diabetes, chronic lung, heart, and renal disease, and psychiatric illness on the risk of IBD-CRC remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of these comorbidities on the risk of IBD-CRC. Methods A retrospective review from 2009 to 2014 was conducted using the National Inpatient Sample data for adults 18 years and older. Patients with IBD (360,892), of whom 2,831 had CRC were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes (ICD-9). Data on comorbidities were also obtained. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and confidence intervals (CI) were computed via logistic regression to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on the risk of IBD-CRC; the p-value was set at <0.05. Results The mean age of IBD patients in this study was 52.36±0.03. A majority of the patients with IBD-CRC were white and were significantly older compared to those without cancer (60 vs 52 years, p<0.05). The risk of colon cancer in IBD was increased by having a non-cholestatic liver disease (aOR 1.51, CI 1.23-1.86, p<0.01). Also, patients younger than 50 years with liver disease were at an increased risk of IBD-associated colon cancer in comparison to older patients (aOR 1.83 vs 1.34, p<0.05). Notably, diabetes, chronic pulmonary disease, renal failure, psychiatric illnesses, and rheumatoid diseases, were inversely associated with the risk of IBD-CRC (p<0.05). After stratifying by IBD subtypes, non-cholestatic liver disease was still independently associated with a higher risk for colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (ulcerative colitis: aOR 1.43, CI 1.08-1.89; Crohn's disease: aOR 1.46, CI 1.10-2.00). Conclusions Patients with IBD who have non-cholestatic liver disease might have a higher risk for colon cancer, even at a younger age. These patients may require close colon cancer surveillance.

Cost-Effectiveness of Aspirin for Extended Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis After Major Surgery for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 26:1275-1285.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Venous thromboembolism extended prophylaxis after inflammatory bowel disease surgery remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if adopting an aspirin-based prophylaxis strategy may address current cost-effectiveness limitations. METHODS A decision analysis model was used to compare costs and outcomes of a reference case patient undergoing inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal surgery considered for post-discharge thromboembolism prophylaxis. Low-dose aspirin was compared to an enoxaparin regimen as well as no prophylaxis. Source estimates were obtained from aggregated existing literature. Secondary analysis included out-of-pocket costs. A 10,000-simulation Monte Carlo probabilistic sensitivity analysis accounted for uncertainty in model estimates. RESULTS An enoxaparin-based regimen compared to aspirin demonstrated an unfavorable incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $908,268 per quality-adjusted life year. Sensitivity analysis supported this finding in > 75% of simulated cases; scenarios favoring enoxaparin included those with > 4% post-discharge event rates. Aspirin versus no prophylaxis demonstrated a favorable ratio of $106,601 per quality-adjusted life year. Findings were vulnerable to a post-discharge thromboembolism rate < 1%, aspirin-associated bleeding rate > 1%, median hospital costs of bleeding > 3 × , and decreased efficacy of aspirin (RR > 0.75). The average out-of-pocket cost of choosing an aspirin ePpx strategy increased by $54 per patient versus $708 per patient with enoxaparin. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose aspirin extended prophylaxis following inflammatory bowel disease surgery has a favorable cost-safety profile and may be an attractive alternative approach.

Abstract
The number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) approaching an older age, together with the number of over-60-year-old patients newly diagnosed with IBD, is steadily increasing, reaching 25% of all patients. The present review focuses on late-onset ulcerative colitis (UC) and its initial disease course in comparison with that observed in younger adults in terms of extension at onset and the risk of proximal disease progression, medical treatment, surgery and hospitalization in the first years after diagnosis. We summarize the clues pointing to a milder disease course in a population which frequently presents major frailty due to comorbidities. With increasing age and thus increasing comorbidities, medical and surgical therapies frequently represent a challenge for treating physicians. The response, persistence, and risks of adverse events of conventional therapies indicated for late onset/older UC patients are examined, emphasizing the risks in this particular population, who are still being treated with prolonged corticosteroid therapy. Finally, we concentrate on data on biotechnological agents for which older patients were mostly excluded from pivotal trials. Real-life data from newer agents such as vedolizumab and ustekinumab show encouraging efficacy and safety profiles in the population of older UC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during hospitalization. It is unclear whether this association persists after hospital discharge. AIMS We assessed the association between surgery and VTE following hospital discharge in IBD. METHODS We conducted a population-based cohort study between 2002 and 2016 in Ontario, Canada. Adults with IBD hospitalized for ≥ 72 h who underwent an intra-abdominal surgery were compared to hospitalized, nonsurgical IBD patients. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare VTE risk within 12 months of discharge. RESULTS A total of 80,445 hospital discharges were analyzed: 60% Crohn's disease (CD) and 40% ulcerative colitis (UC). The median time to VTE was three times longer for nonsurgical patients with CD and 1.6 times longer for nonsurgical patients with UC. Compared with nonsurgical patients, surgery for CD was associated with a lower cumulative risk of VTE in the 2 weeks after discharge and persisted through to 12 months after discharge (adjusted HR 0.24; 95% CI 0.15-0.40). In contrast, urgent surgery for UC was associated with an increased risk of VTE. The increased risk was greatest at 2 weeks after discharge (aHR, 1.80; 95% CI 1.26-2.57) and declined progressively over the course of 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Surgery was associated with a greater risk of VTE after hospital discharge in UC but not CD. In patients with UC who have undergone urgent surgery, healthcare providers should consider an extended period of prophylaxis after hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Age is a major prognostic factor for COVID-19 outcomes. The effect of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] activity on COVID-19 is unclear. We examined the relationship between IBD activity and COVID-19 severity according to age. METHODS We included IBD patients diagnosed with COVID-19, reported to SECURE-IBD between March 13, 2020 and August 3, 2021. Clinical IBD activity was measured by physician global assessment [PGA]. COVID-19-related outcomes were [1] intensive care unit [ICU] admission, ventilation or death, and [2] hospitalization. Using generalized estimating equations, we determined adjusted odds ratios [aOR, 95% confidence interval] for moderate and severe PGA vs clinical remission/mild PGA, controlling for demographics, medications and COVID-19 diagnosis period. We performed stratified analyses by age [≤50 vs >50 years]. RESULTS Among 6078 patients, adverse COVID-19 outcomes were more common with active IBD: ICU/ventilation/death in 3.6% [175/4898] of remission/mild, 4.9% [45/920] of moderate and 8.8% [23/260] of severe [p < 0.001]; and hospitalization in 13% [649/4898] of remission/mild, 19% [178/920] of moderate and 38% [100/260] of severe [p < 0.001]. Stratified by decade, effect sizes were larger for younger patients. In patients ≤50 years, severe PGA was independently associated with ICU/ventilation/death (aOR 3.27 [1.15-9.30]) and hospitalization (aOR 4.62 [2.83-7.55]). In contrast, severe PGA was not independently associated with COVID-19 outcomes in those older than 50 years. CONCLUSIONS Clinically active IBD may be a risk factor for severe COVID-19, particularly in younger patients. IBD disease control, including through medication compliance, and strategies to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 infection amongst patients with active IBD [e.g. distancing, immunization] are key to limit adverse COVID-19 outcomes.

Abstract
Background/Aims Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, to date, there have been few studies on the risk of VTE in Asian IBD patients. We aimed to estimate the incidence of VTE in Asian IBD patients and to determine if IBD is related to increased VTE risk. Methods We performed a population-based cohort study between 2004 and 2015 using Korean National Health Insurance data. IBD and VTE were defined by ICD-10 codes. Incidence rates of VTE were calculated among patients with IBD and among age- and sex-matched controls. Hazard ratios were estimated using Cox regression with adjustment for multiple variables. We performed additional analyses stratifying by age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score, and disease type. Results Among the 45,037 patients with IBD (IBD cohort) and 133,019 matched controls (non-IBD cohort) included in our analysis, 411 IBD patients and 641 controls developed VTE. The IBD cohort had a higher incidence rate ratio and risk of VTE than the non-IBD cohort (incidence rate ratio 1.92 and hazard ratio 1.93). Older age, female sex, higher CCI scores, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, use of steroids, and hospitalization were significant risk factors for VTE in patients with IBD. Conclusions The IBD patients in this study were approximately two times more likely to develop VTE than the non-IBD individuals. Our findings support the need for thromboprophylaxis in Asian IBD patients with various factors that further increase the risk of VTE.

Anti-TNF-α Treatment Reduces the Baseline Procoagulant Imbalance of Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2021; 27:1901-1908.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by an increased thrombosis risk of uncertain etiology. Coagulation derangement arising from inflammation may be a triggering factor. We hypothesized that strong inflammation inhibitors (eg, anti-tumor necrosis factor-α drugs) may affect coagulation. METHODS Forty patients with IBD were compared with 57 control patients for coagulation factors and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), the latter being the most sensitive marker of in vivo pro- and anticoagulation balance. We measured ETP in the presence and absence of thrombomodulin (the physiologic protein C [PC] activator). Coagulation at different timepoints was also assessed for 28 of these patients during infliximab treatment. RESULTS The median ETP (nM thrombin × minutes) and range (minimum-maximum) were each higher in patients at baseline than in control patients in both the absence (2120 [1611-3041] vs 1865 [1270-2337]) and the presence (1453 [464-2522] vs 831 [104-1741]) of thrombomodulin. The ETP ratio (with/without thrombomodulin) was high at baseline (0.73 [0.21-0.90] vs 0.45 [0.07-0.85]). The ETP and ETP ratio declined during treatment and were significantly lower at the end than at baseline. Factor (F) VIII and fibrinogen, which were high at baseline, decreased during treatment and at the end were significantly lower than at baseline. The FVIII/PC ratio, which was high in patients at baseline, declined during treatment and at the end was lower than at baseline. C-reactive protein recorded at the end of treatment was lower than at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Patients with IBD have a procoagulant imbalance as shown by increased ETP at baseline. The ETP decreases during treatment with infliximab, which is related to decreased FVIII and FVIII/PC ratio. This effect is also related to the improvement of inflammation as shown by decreased fibrinogen and C-reactive protein.

Stadnicki A, Stadnicka I. Venous and arterial thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. World J Gastroenterol 2021; 27:6757-6774. [PMID: 34790006 PMCID: PMC8567469 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v27.i40.6757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The risk of thromboembolism (TE) is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mainly due to an increased risk of venous TE (VTE). The risk of arterial TE (ATE) is less pronounced, but an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases needs to be addressed in IBD patients. IBD predisposes to arterial and venous thrombosis through similar prothrombotic mechanisms, including triggering activation of coagulation, in part mediated by impairment of the intestinal barrier and released bacterial components. VTE in IBD has clinical specificities, i.e., an earlier first episode in life, high rates during both active and remission stages, higher recurrence rates, and poor prognosis. The increased likelihood of VTE in IBD patients may be related to surgery, the use of medications such as corticosteroids or tofacitinib, whereas infliximab is antithrombotic. Long-term complications of VTE can include post-thrombotic syndrome and high recurrence rate during post-hospital discharge. A global clot lysis assay may be useful in identifying patients with IBD who are at risk for TE. Many VTEs occur in IBD outpatients; therefore, outpatient prophylaxis in high-risk patients is recommended. It is crucial to continue focusing on prevention and adequate treatment of VTE in patients with IBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an independent risk factor for thromboembolism, especially during the perioperative period. This study aimed to determine the effects of perioperative parenteral nutrition (PN) supplemented with fish oil (FO) on coagulation function and postoperative outcomes in patients with UC. METHODS This retrospective cohort included 92 consecutive patients who underwent colectomy for UC. Postoperative coagulation indices and outcomes, including thromboelastography (TEG) findings and comprehensive complication index (CCI), were compared. The relative change in serum D-dimer (ΔD-dimer) levels and maximal amplitude (ΔMA) on TEG were also determined. RESULTS Patients receiving PN supplemented with FO (n = 48) had lower D-dimer (P = .036) levels on postoperative day (POD) 5 and a higher MA (P < 0.001) on POD 1 than those who did not receive it (n = 44). A lower ΔD-dimer level (P = .048) and ΔMA (P < 0.001) were also observed in patients receiving FO. The incidence of major postoperative complications (6.3 vs 22.7%; P = .017) and CCI (20.9 vs 23.4%; P = .044) were significantly lower in patients receiving FO. In multivariate analysis, FO (odds ratio, 0.231; 95% confidence interval, 0.055-0.971; P = .046) was a positive protector of major postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Perioperative PN supplemented with FO improved coagulation function and reduced major postoperative complications in patients with UC requiring colectomy. These results may provide cues in formulating management strategies for preventing thromboembolisms and postoperative complications in patients with UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a 2- to 3-fold greater risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) than patients without IBD, with increased risk during hospitalization that persists postdischarge. We determined the cost-effectiveness of postdischarge VTE prophylaxis among hospitalized patients with IBD. METHODS A decision tree compared inpatient prophylaxis alone vs 4 weeks of postdischarge VTE prophylaxis with 10 mg/day of rivaroxaban. Our primary outcome was quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) over 1 year, and strategies were compared using a willingness to pay of $100,000/QALY from a societal perspective. Costs (in 2020 $USD), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) and number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent 1 VTE and VTE death were calculated. Deterministic 1-way and probabilistic analyses assessed model uncertainty. RESULTS Prophylaxis with rivaroxaban resulted in 1.68-higher QALYs per 1000 persons compared with no postdischarge prophylaxis at an incremental cost of $185,778 per QALY. The NNT to prevent a single VTE was 78, whereas the NNT to prevent a single VTE-related death was 3190. One-way sensitivity analyses showed that higher VTE risk >4.5% and decreased cost of rivaroxaban ≤$280 can reduce the ICER to <$100,000/QALY. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses favored prophylaxis in 28.9% of iterations. CONCLUSIONS Four weeks of postdischarge VTE prophylaxis results in higher QALYs compared with inpatient prophylaxis alone and prevents 1 postdischarge VTE among 78 patients with IBD. Although postdischarge VTE prophylaxis for all patients with IBD is not cost-effective, it should be considered in a case-by-case scenario, considering VTE risk profile, costs, and patient preference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although venous thromboembolism [VTE] is a well-known complication of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] in adults, limited data exist on the risk in children. We report the incidence of VTE among children with and without IBD. METHODS We conducted a matched cohort study within a distributed network of population-based Canadian provincial health administrative databases. Children <16 years diagnosed with IBD were identified using validated algorithms from administrative data in Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec and compared to age- and sex-matched children without IBD. Hospitalizations for VTE within 5 years of IBD diagnosis were identified. Generalized linear mixed-effects models were used to pool province-specific incidence rates and incidence rate ratios [IRR] with 95% confidence intervals [CI]. Hazard ratios [HR] from Cox proportional hazards models were pooled with fixed-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS The 5-year incidence of VTE among 3593 children with IBD was 31.2 [95% CI 23.7-41.0] per 10 000 person-years [PY] compared to 0.8 [95% CI 0.4-1.7] per 10 000 PY among 16 289 children without IBD [unadjusted IRR 38.84, 95% CI 16.59-90.83; adjusted HR 22.91, 95% CI 11.50-45.63]. VTE was less common in Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis [unadjusted IRR 0.47, 95% CI 0.27-0.83; adjusted HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29-0.94]. The findings were similar for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism when comparing children with and without IBD. CONCLUSIONS The risk of VTE is much higher in children with IBD than controls without IBD. While the absolute risk is low, we found a higher incidence rate than previously described in the pediatric literature.Conference Presentation: An abstract based on the data included in this paper was presented at Canadian Digestive Diseases Week [Montréal, Canada] in March 2020.

Abstract
Introduction A potentially elevated risk for pulmonary thrombosis with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKinibs) was identified, as well as an increased risk for portal vein thrombosis, in ruxolitinib patients. Consequently, the objective of this investigation was to repeat a comprehensive analysis of the US FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to assess postmarketing reporting rates of thromboembolic events (TEs) in patients treated with JAKinibs. Methods FAERS data (1 January 2010 to 30 September 2019) were searched for reports of all FDA-approved JAKinibs across all indications. For each drug–adverse drug reaction (ADR) pair, the reporting odds ratio (ROR) [two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI)] and empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM) [one-sided 95% lower bound] were calculated to detect drug–ADR pairs with higher-than-expected reporting rates within the FAERS. Significance was declared when both lower 95% CI bounds were > 1. Results Significantly elevated reporting rates of pulmonary thrombosis were evident with tofacitinib (ROR 2.36 [1.69–3.31]; EBGM 2.01 [1.53]), as was pulmonary embolism with baricitinib (ROR 12.23 [8.35–17.89]; EBGM 7.72 [3.82]) and portal vein thrombosis with ruxolitinib (ROR 4.16 [2.70–6.40]; EBGM 4.52 [3.11]). Deep vein thrombosis reports were increased with baricitinib (ROR 14.84 [9.64–22.84]; EBGM 9.49 [5.91]), as was thrombosis with ruxolitinib (ROR 1.40 [1.20–1.63]; EBGM 1.72 [1.52]). The relationship between the time of treatment initiation and event occurrence indicated that time to events occurred randomly. Conclusions This study found significant reporting rates for TEs in patients treated with JAKinibs across brands and indications, providing additional evidence that JAKinibs may be contraindicated in patients at risk of TEs.

Abstract
Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) flares often result in prolonged hospitalization and considerable mortality. Nevertheless, large-scale analyses evaluating the frequency and characteristics of hospital readmissions for UC remain limited. We aimed to examine these clinical outcomes in a nationwide cohort of patients hospitalized with UC. Methods We queried the 2017 Nationwide Readmission Database using ICD-10-CM codes to identify all adult patients admitted for UC. Outcomes including mortality, readmission rates, predictors of readmission and mortality, and healthcare usage were assessed. Multivariate analysis was used to adjust for potential confounders. Results From the 31,063 patients hospitalized for UC, 17.38% were readmitted within 30 days and 28.51% in 90 days. UC accounted for 28.17% and 29.82% of readmissions at 30 and 90 days, respectively. Compared to index admission, 30- and 90-day readmissions were characterized by significantly higher mortality (0.42% vs 1.99% and 1.65%, respectively), longer hospital stays (5.05 vs 6.62 and 6.04 days, respectively), and increased hospital cost ($49,999 vs $62,288 and $59,698, respectively) (all P < 0.01). Numerous factors, including chronic steroid use [hazard ratio (HR) 1.35] and opioid use (HR 1.6, were independently associated with increased 30-day readmission (P < 0.01). Numerous factors, including anxiety (HR 1.21) and venous thromboembolism (HR 5.39), were independently associated with increased 30-day mortality (P < 0.01). Conclusions In a large cohort of patients hospitalized for UC, we found that readmission is associated with higher mortality and more lengthy/costly admissions. Additionally, we found independent associations for readmission and mortality that may help identify patients who can benefit from close postdischarge follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional hyposplenism is a recognized complication of several gastroenterological disorders, including coeliac and inflammatory bowel diseases, and is believed to contribute to the increased infection risk seen in these disorders. SUMMARY The mechanisms of hyposplenism are poorly understood. In this article, we review possible mechanisms underlying development of functional hyposplenism and discuss implications for its management. KEY MESSAGES Identifying functional hyposplenism is important, as it may permit earlier recognition and treatment of serious infections through patient education and vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be at risk of developing portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) with worse outcomes. This study aims to explore the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST among patients with IBD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. All the eligible studies were divided according to the history of colorectal surgery. Only the prevalence of PVST in patients with IBD was pooled if the history of colorectal surgery was unclear. The incidence of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery was pooled if the history of colorectal surgery was clear. Prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST were pooled by only a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed in patients undergoing imaging examinations. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were calculated. RESULTS A total of 36 studies with 143,659 patients with IBD were included. Among the studies where the history of colorectal surgery was unclear, the prevalence of PVST was 0.99, 1.45, and 0.40% in ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and unclassified IBD, respectively. Among the studies where all the patients underwent colorectal surgery, the incidence of PVST was 6.95, 2.55, and 3.95% in UC, CD, and unclassified IBD after colorectal surgery, respectively. Both the prevalence and incidence of PVST became higher in patients with IBD undergoing imaging examinations. Preoperative corticosteroids therapy (OR = 3.112, 95% CI: 1.017-9.525; p = 0.047) and urgent surgery (OR = 1.799, 95% CI: 1.079-2.998; p = 0.024) are significant risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery. The mortality of patients with IBD with PVST after colorectal surgery was 4.31% (34/789). CONCLUSION PVST is not rare, but potentially lethal in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery. More severe IBD, indicated by preoperative corticosteroids and urgent surgery, is associated with a higher risk of PVST after colorectal surgery. Therefore, screening for PVST by imaging examinations and antithrombotic prophylaxis in high-risk patients should be actively considered.

Abstract
Canine protein-losing enteropathies occur commonly in small animal practice, and their management is often challenging with a long-term survival rate of only about 50%. Recent studies have investigated prognostic factors that may determine outcome in individual cases. In particular, systemic complications such as hypercoagulability, vitamin D3 deficiency, and tryptophan deficiency may play an important role and should be investigated in severely affected cases in order to maximize outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend extended chemoprophylaxis for venous thromboembolism in high-risk patients having operations for inflammatory bowel disease. Quantifying patients' risk of venous thromboembolism, however, remains challenging. We sought (1) to identify factors associated with postdischarge venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing colorectal resection for inflammatory bowel disease and (2) to develop a postdischarge venous thromboembolism risk calculator to guide prescribing of extended chemoprophylaxis. METHODS Patients who underwent an operation for inflammatory bowel disease from 2012 to 2018 were identified from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program for colectomy and proctectomy procedure targeted modules. Postdischarge venous thromboembolism included pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis diagnosed after discharge from the index hospitalization. Multivariable logistic regression estimated the association of patient/operative factors with postdischarge venous thromboembolism. A postdischarge venous thromboembolism risk calculator was subsequently constructed. RESULTS Of 18,990 patients, 199 (1.1%) developed a postdischarge venous thromboembolism within the first 30 postoperative days. Preoperative factors associated with postdischarge venous thromboembolism included body mass index (1.9% with body mass index ≥35 vs 0.8% with body mass index 18.5-24.9; odds ratio 2.34 [95% confidence interval 1.49-3.67]), steroid use (1.3% vs 0.7%; odds ratio 1.91 [95% confidence interval 1.37-2.66]), and ulcerative colitis (1.5% vs 0.8% with Crohn's disease; odds ratio 1.76 [95% confidence interval 1.32-2.34]). Minimally invasive surgery was associated with postdischarge venous thromboembolism (1.2% vs 0.9% with open; odds ratio 1.42 [95% confidence interval 1.05-1.92]), as was anastomotic leak (2.8% vs 1.0%; odds ratio 2.24 [95% confidence interval 1.31-3.83]) and ileus (2.1% vs 0.9%; odds ratio 2.60 [95% confidence interval 1.91-3.54]). The predicted probability of postdischarge venous thromboembolism ranged from 0.2% to 14.3% based on individual risk factors. CONCLUSION Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors are associated with postdischarge venous thromboembolism after an operation for inflammatory bowel disease. A postdischarge venous thromboembolism risk calculator was developed which can be used to tailor extended venous thromboembolism chemoprophylaxis by individual risk.

Abstract
Purpose of review To explore the relationship between IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases) therapy and VTE (venous thromboembolism) risk, as well as the safety, barriers, and utility of VTE prophylaxis. Recent findings In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a black box warning concerning the use of tofacitinib among ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with a post hoc analysis revealing that all patients had additional risk factors for VTE. Additionally, although IBD patients experiencing a disease flare often present with hematochezia, these patients are less likely to receive VTE prophylaxis, despite data showing that pharmacologic prophylaxis has not been associated with clinically significant signs of bleeding. Summary Among IBD patients, corticosteroid use has been associated with an increased risk of VTE, whereas anti-TNF therapy does not appear to increase this risk. High-dose tofacitinib has also been shown to increase the likelihood of VTE in patients with additional risk factors. In order to prevent future VTE events, pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis should be emphasized, particularly in hospitalized IBD patients, with recent data suggesting that a select population at risk may benefit from continued prophylaxis.

Abstract
The Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway is a membrane-to-nucleus signaling cascade that effects activation of gene transcription. JAK inhibitors have demonstrated effectiveness in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. An increased risk of infection, mainly varicella-zoster reactivation, with these new agents is of concern. Comorbid conditions, along with pharmacokinetic variations in drug metabolism in the older population, further increase the risk of adverse outcomes. Newly raised concerns for potential adverse effects such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are essential considerations for clinicians. Older patients are at increased risk because of multiple comorbid conditions and pharmacokinetic changes related to drug metabolism and excretion. Both the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency have issued warnings regarding this risk. These warnings highlight individuals aged > 50 years with concomitant cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, the FDA released a black box warning for increased thromboembolic risk associated with JAK inhibitors. As the use of these drugs increases, a solid understanding of adverse effects and risks is critical to those treating older adults.
