Abstract
Pouchitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory disease of the ileal reservoir. It is common after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, and treatment of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis has proven challenging. Most cases of acute pouchitis evolve into chronic pouchitis. The aetiology of acute pouchitis is likely to be partly related to the gut microbiota, whereas the pathophysiology of chronic pouchitis involves abnormal interactions between genetic disposition, faecal stasis, the gut microbiota, dysregulated host immunity, surgical techniques, ischaemia and mesentery-related factors. Pouchoscopy with biopsy is the most valuable modality for diagnosis, disease monitoring, assessment of treatment response, dysplasia surveillance and delivery of endoscopic therapy. Triggering or risk factors, such as Clostridioides difficile infection and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, should be modified or eradicated. In terms of treatment, acute pouchitis usually responds to oral antibiotics, whereas chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis often requires induction and maintenance therapy with integrin, interleukin or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors. Chronic pouchitis with ischaemic features, fistulae or abscesses can be treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Abstract
Pouchitis is defined as inflammation of the ileal pouch created during a restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Although the incidence of this inflammatory condition is high, the exact etiology often remains unclear and the management challenging. In this review, we summarize the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of this common complication.

Abstract
Lay Summary
The restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch–anal anastomosis is the preferred surgery for patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis. Although the ileal pouch–anal anastomosis provides gastrointestinal continuity and is an excellent alternative to a permanent end ileostomy, it is not without its complications including acute pouchitis, which occurs in up to 80% of patients. Diet may have a significant impact on pouch function and the development of pouchitis by virtue of its impact on motility and the microbiome. Multiple studies have evaluated the ability of different diets and supplements to improve pouch function and manage pouchitis, yet results are conflicting; thus, evidence-based dietary recommendations are lacking. Patients with an ileoanal pouch routinely ask about dietary interventions to maintain pouch health, and it is crucial that concrete evidence-based recommendations are identified to provide guidance. The goal of this systematic review is to summarize the available data on dietary patterns in patients with an ileoanal pouch, dietary interventions in this cohort, and the impact of supplements on pouch function and pouchitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our understanding of the epidemiology of inflammatory conditions of the pouch and effectiveness of treatment is largely based on selected populations. We created a state-level registry to evaluate the incidence of pouchitis and the effectiveness of treatments used in an initial episode of pouchitis. METHODS In a state-level retrospective cohort of all patients undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020, we evaluated the incidence of pouchitis and compared the proportion of patients developing recurrent pouchitis and chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis according to initial antibiotic therapy. RESULTS A total of 177 patients underwent surgery with 49 (28%) developing pouchitis within the 12 months after the final stage of IPAA. Patients with extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were significantly more likely to develop pouchitis within the first 12 months after IPAA (adjusted odds ratio 2.45, 95% confidence interval 1.03-5.81) after adjusting for family history of IBD (adjusted odds ratio 3.50, 95% 1.50-8.18). When comparing the proportion of patients who developed recurrent pouchitis or chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis with those who experienced an isolated episode of pouchitis, there were no significant differences among the initial antibiotic regimens used. DISCUSSION In a state-level examination of outcomes after IPAA for ulcerative colitis, patients with extraintestinal manifestations of IBD were more likely to develop pouchitis; however, the initial antibiotic regimen chosen did not seem to affect long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) can experience pouch inflammation postoperatively. The use of antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) biologics may be associated with pouch inflammation, but limited data exist on the impact of multiple advanced therapies on development of subsequent pouch inflammation. The aim of this study was to assess for an association between preoperative use of multiple advanced therapies and risk of endoscopically detected inflammatory pouch diseases (EIPDs). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and indeterminate colitis (IBDU) patients who underwent an IPAA at a quaternary care center from January 2015 to December 2019. Patients were grouped based on number and type of preoperative drug exposures. The primary outcome was EIPD within 5 years of IPAA. RESULTS Two hundred ninety-eight patients were included in this analysis. Most of these patients had UC (95.0%) and demonstrated pancolonic disease distribution (86.1%). The majority of patients were male (57.4%) and underwent surgery for medically refractory disease (79.2%). The overall median age at surgery was 38.6 years. Preoperatively, 68 patients were biologic/small molecule-naïve, 125 received anti-TNF agents only, and 105 received non-anti-TNF agents only or multiple classes. Ninety-one patients developed EIPD. There was no significant association between type (P = .38) or number (P = .58) of exposures and EIPD, but older individuals had a lower risk of EIPD (P = .001; hazard ratio, 0.972; 95% confidence interval, 0.956-0.989). CONCLUSION Development of EIPD was not associated with number or type of preoperative advanced therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is minimal evidence regarding the comparative effectiveness of individual antibiotics in the treatment of pouchitis. We sought to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of ciprofloxacin monotherapy, metronidazole monotherapy, and combination therapy (ciprofloxacin and metronidazole) in the treatment of an initial episode of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study in TriNetX, a global federated research network of electronic health records. Primary outcomes were failure of initial antibiotic therapy and the development of recurrent pouchitis in the first 12 months after an initial episode of pouchitis. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed for age, sex, race, primary sclerosing cholangitis, nicotine dependence, obesity, and previous exposure to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors between the cohorts. RESULTS Among 271 patients who developed pouchitis (mean age at ileal pouch-anal anastomosis 35.8 years, male sex 57%) and were treated with ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, or combination therapy, 190 (70%) developed recurrent pouchitis. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in the odds of early relapse or nonresponse with ciprofloxacin compared with metronidazole monotherapy (adjusted odds ratio 0.56, 95% confidence interval 0.23-1.34) or when either monotherapy was compared with combination therapy. There was also no significant difference in odds of recurrent pouchitis when comparing patients treated with ciprofloxacin with metronidazole monotherapy (adjusted odds ratio 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.40-1.84) or either monotherapy with combination therapy. DISCUSSION In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrated no significant difference in the real-world effectiveness of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, or combination therapy for the initial episode of pouchitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We sought to define the prevalence and to characterize possible predictive factors of Crohn's disease (CD) occurring in children with ulcerative colitis (UC) after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). METHODS This was a multicenter, retrospective study including 15 centers of the Porto IBD group of the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. Children with a confirmed diagnosis of UC undergoing colectomy with IPAA and a minimal follow up of 6 months were identified. The following data were collected: demographic data; endoscopic and histologic data; disease activity; laboratory exams; therapeutic history; indication for surgery, type, and timing; and IPAA functional outcomes and complications. In de novo CD cases, time of diagnosis, phenotype, location, and therapies were gathered. RESULTS We identified 111 UC children undergoing IPAA from January 2008 to June 2018 (median age at colectomy: 13 years; age range: 1-18 years; female/male: 59/52). The median time from diagnosis to colectomy was 16 (range, 0-202) months. At the last follow-up, 40 (36%) of 111 children developed pouchitis. The criteria for de novo CD were met in 19(17.1%) of 111 children with a 25-month median (range, 3-61 months). At last follow-up, 12 (63.1%) of 19 were treated with biologics and in 5 (26.3%) of 19 children, the pouch was replaced with definitive ileostomy. In a multivariable logistic regression model, decreased preoperative body mass index z scores (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.4; P = .01) resulted as the only variable associated with CD development. CONCLUSIONS Children with UC undergoing IPAA carry a high risk of developing subsequent CD. De novo CD cases showed decreased preoperative body mass index z scores, identifying a poor nutritional status as a possible predictive factor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic inflammatory conditions of the pouch are common after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC). AIMS We aimed to investigate the relationship between acute pouchitis within 180 days of the final stage of IPAA surgery (very early pouchitis) and the future development of chronic antibiotic dependent pouchitis (CADP) and Crohn's-like disease of the pouch (CLDP). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study, evaluating patients who underwent proctocolectomy with IPAA between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2016. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship between very early pouchitis and the development of CADP and CLDP. RESULTS Among 626 patients undergoing IPAA for UC, 137 (22%) developed very early pouchitis, 75 (12%) developed CADP, and 59 (9%) developed CLDP in a median follow-up of 5.18 years (interquartile range 0.94-10.8 years). Very early pouchitis was associated with a significant increase in the odds of developing CADP (adjusted odds ratio [aOR3.65, 95% CI 2.19-6.10) as was primary sclerosing cholangitis (aOR 3.97, 95% CI 1.44-11.0). Very early pouchitis was associated with increased odds for developing CLDP (aOR 2.77, 95% CI 1.54-4.98) along with a family history of inflammatory bowel disease (aOR 2.10, 95% CI 1.11-3.96). CONCLUSION In this cohort, very early pouchitis was associated with an increased risk of developing CADP and CLDP. These findings highlight very early pouchitis as a unique risk factor for chronic inflammatory conditions of the pouch and the need for future studies evaluating potential strategies for secondary prophylaxis strategies in this population.
