Abstract
Despite the introduction of biological therapies, an ileocolonic resection is often required in patients with Crohn's disease [CD]. Unfortunately, surgery is not curative, as many patients will develop postoperative recurrence [POR], eventually leading to further bowel damage and a decreased quality of life. The 8th Scientific Workshop of ECCO reviewed the available scientific data on both prevention and treatment of POR in patients with CD undergoing an ileocolonic resection, dealing with conventional and biological therapies, as well as non-medical interventions, including endoscopic and surgical approaches in case of POR. Based on the available data, an algorithm for the postoperative management in daily clinical practice was developed.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Lifestyle and Psychosocial Behavior of Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Narrative Review. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:2642. [PMID: 37830679 PMCID: PMC10572197 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11192642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a considerable impact on the global healthcare system and potentially the clinical course of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although IBD is a chronic disease, its therapy (except steroid therapy) does not increase the risk of contracting or aggravating COVID-19. However, the clinical course of patients is significantly influenced by environmental factors. Social restrictions due to the pandemic or the fear of contracting the virus have influenced lifestyle and psychosocial behaviors that may worsen the clinical course of patients with IBD. This narrative literature review summarizes the current evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lifestyle and psychosocial behaviors of patients with IBD. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the lifestyle and psychosocial behaviors of patients with IBD. Furthermore, patients with IBD failed to maintain medication adherence, thus affecting the clinical course of their condition.

Abstract
Background: The government of Japan declared a state of emergency on April 16, 2020, owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The subsequent lockdown altered lifestyles and worsened mental illnesses. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an intestinal disorder that is affected by environmental factors. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effects of COVID-19 and the state of emergency on the lifestyle and disease activity of patients with IBD. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey on patients with IBD from June 16 to August 21, 2020 during their regular follow-up at our hospital, 2 months after the state of emergency was declared. Results: Overall, 241 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 210 with Crohn's disease (CD) completed the survey, of which 82 (34%) and 97 (46%) patients, respectively, reported disease exacerbation within 2 months after the lockdown. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age at enrollment (odds ratio, OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-0.99; P < 0.05), sleep hours (OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.57-0.97; P < 0.05), and increased stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic (OR, 6.06; 95% CI, 1.79-20.50; P < 0.01) as independent factors associated with UC exacerbation. Patients with exacerbated CD were younger at CD onset and had higher patient-reported outcome 2 scores before the state of emergency than patients with non-exacerbated CD. On multivariate analysis, age (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.95-0.99; P < 0.01) and active disease before the state of emergency (OR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.23-3.95; P < 0.01) were independently associated with CD exacerbation. Conclusions: Improving sleep quality and preventing psychological stress may be crucial in IBD management during a pandemic, especially in young patients.

Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccines among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Japan. Healthcare (Basel) 2021; 10:healthcare10010006. [PMID: 35052170 PMCID: PMC8774988 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10010006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is recommended for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines has not been sufficiently evaluated in patients with IBD. We aimed to assess the acceptance and hesitancy of COVID-19 vaccination and related factors among these patients. A retrospective cohort study using a self-reported questionnaire was performed among patients with IBD between 22 June 2021 and 30 August 2021. Of the 187 participants, 10.2% (n = 19) were hesitant to be vaccinated. Patients in the vaccine-hesitant group were younger (p = 0.009) and had a shorter disease duration (p = 0.020). Vedolizumab was prescribed more frequently (p = 0.024) and immunomodulators were less frequently used (p = 0.027) in this group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.92-1.00, p = 0.042) and the use of immunomodulators (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.66, p = 0.019) as independent significant factors for vaccine hesitancy. The COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy rate in patients with IBD in Japan was 10% in this study. The Japanese COVID-19 vaccination campaign appears to be successful. The risk of COVID-19 among patients with IBD requires adequate measures to ensure that vaccines are accepted by vaccine-hesitant patients. These findings may be helpful in achieving adequate vaccination rates.

Patients' perspectives on smoking and inflammatory bowel disease: An online survey in collaboration with European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations. World J Gastroenterol 2020; 26:4343-4355. [PMID: 32848338 PMCID: PMC7422536 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i29.4343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Revised: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Smoking has detrimental effects on Crohn’s disease (CD) activity while data on ulcerative colitis (UC) are conflicting. Little is known about the use and impact of alternative smoking products in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
AIM To understand the patients’ perceptions of the impact of smoking on their IBD and to assess differences between CD and UC patients.
METHODS The questionnaire was developed by Philip Morris Products SA in cooperation with European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations. The final survey questionnaire consisted of 41 questions divided in 8 categories: (1) Subject screener; (2) Smoking history; (3) Background information; (4) IBD disease background; (5) Current disease status; (6) Current therapeutics and medications; and (7) Current nicotine/cigarettes use and awareness of the impacts of smoking on IBD. The questionnaire was submitted online from 4th November 2019 to 11th March 2020 through the European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations website to IBD patients who were current smokers or had a history of smoking.
RESULTS In total 1050 IBD patients speaking nine languages participated to the survey. Among them, 807 (76.9%) patients declared to have ever smoked or consumed an alternative smoking product, with a higher proportion of current cigarette smokers among CD patients (CD: 63.1% vs UC: 54.1%, P = 0.012). About two-thirds of the participants declared to have ever stopped cigarette smoking and restarted (67.0%), with a significantly higher proportion among UC patients compared to CD patients (73.1% vs 62.0%, P = 0.001). We also found significant differences between CD and UC patients in the awareness of the health consequences of smoking in their disease and in the perceived impact of smoking on disease activity, for both cigarettes and alternative smoking products.
CONCLUSION This survey found significant differences between CD and UC patients in both awareness and perception of the impact of smoking on their disease. Further efforts should be done to encourage smoking cessation for all IBD patients, including UC patients.

Abstract
Background and aims Psychologic stress can affect the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the precise contribution of psychologic stress to IBD remains unclear. We investigated the association of psychologic stress with disease activity in patients with IBD, especially in terms of mental state and sleep condition. Methods This was a multi-center observational study comprising 20 institutions. Data were collected using survey forms for doctors and questionnaires for patients, and the association of psychologic stress with clinical parameters was investigated. Mental state was evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale, and sleep condition was evaluated by querying patients about the severity of insomnia symptoms. Results A total of 1078 IBD patients were enrolled, including 303 patients with Crohn’s disease and 775 patients with ulcerative colitis. Seventy-five percent of IBD patients believed that psychologic stress triggered an exacerbation of their disease (PSTE group) and 25% did not (non-PSTE group). The CES-D scores were significantly higher for patients with clinically active disease than for those in remission in the PSTE group (median (interquartile range) = 7 (4–9.5) vs. 5 (3–7), p < .0001), but not in the non-PSTE group (5 (2–8) vs. 4 (3–7), p = 0.78). Female sex and disease exacerbation by factors other than psychologic stress were independent factors of psychologic stress-triggered disease exacerbation. Also, patients with insomnia had higher disease activity than those without insomnia, especially in the PSTE group. Conclusions A worsened mental state correlates with disease activity in IBD patients, especially those who believe that their disease is exacerbated by psychologic stress.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the principal forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Both represent chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which displays heterogeneity in inflammatory and symptomatic burden between patients and within individuals over time. Optimal management relies on understanding and tailoring evidence-based interventions by clinicians in partnership with patients. This guideline for management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults over 16 years of age was developed by Stakeholders representing UK physicians (British Society of Gastroenterology), surgeons (Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland), specialist nurses (Royal College of Nursing), paediatricians (British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition), dietitians (British Dietetic Association), radiologists (British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology), general practitioners (Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology) and patients (Crohn's and Colitis UK). A systematic review of 88 247 publications and a Delphi consensus process involving 81 multidisciplinary clinicians and patients was undertaken to develop 168 evidence- and expert opinion-based recommendations for pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical interventions, as well as optimal service delivery in the management of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Comprehensive up-to-date guidance is provided regarding indications for, initiation and monitoring of immunosuppressive therapies, nutrition interventions, pre-, peri- and postoperative management, as well as structure and function of the multidisciplinary team and integration between primary and secondary care. Twenty research priorities to inform future clinical management are presented, alongside objective measurement of priority importance, determined by 2379 electronic survey responses from individuals living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, including patients, their families and friends.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cigarette smoking is one of the most important, modifiable environmental factors in Crohn's disease (CD) and screening for tobacco use is an official recommendation and quality measure in the care of CD patients. The objective of this study was to learn more about gastroenterologists' practices, opinions, and knowledge in this area. PATIENTS AND METHODS A 15 question survey was sent through email to two national gastroenterology distribution lists. Questions were written in multiple choice formats and were designed to collect information about gastroenterologists' practices, attitudes, and knowledge regarding smoking cessation in CD patients. Responses were stratified by practice setting, experience, and inflammatory bowel disease-focus. Responses were anonymous and were collected in a secure, online database. RESULTS A total of 141 respondents completed the survey. Overall, 89% of participants screened their CD patients for smoking more than 75% of the time. In all, 62% provided smoking cessation counseling more than 75% of the time. Overall, 94% of respondents felt comfortable discussing the benefits of smoking cessation with their patients. In all, 56% felt comfortable discussing smoking cessation strategies with their patients. Overall, 88% of respondents agreed that gastroenterologists should provide smoking cessation counseling; however, 43 and 11% agreed that the gastroenterologist should be the primary counselor and primary prescriber of cessation-related pharmacotherapy, respectively. CONCLUSION Surveyed gastroenterologists agree that smoking cessation is an important part of the care of CD patients and this is reflected in their screening practices. Counseling occurs irregularly and many gastroenterologists do not feel comfortable discussing cessation strategies. Future guidelines should provide further guidance on the gastroenterologist's role in smoking cessation counseling for CD patients.

Abstract
Effective communication between healthcare staff and patients is central to development of the patient-professional relationship. Many barriers influence this communication, often resulting in patients' lack of understanding and retention of information, particularly affecting advice regarding lifestyle habits, such as alcohol consumption and smoking. Alcohol and smoking misuse are potentially modifiable risk factors known to adversely affect a variety of gastroenterological conditions and improvements in communication with patients regarding this is an important management component. This review discusses the clinical impact of these factors and how healthcare professionals can improve communication. We discuss how enhancing verbal communication skills through medical training leads to greater outcomes in patient satisfaction and adherence to treatment and advice. In addition, with the rapid digitalisation of society, platforms such as social media and smartphone applications may be considered as adjuncts to traditional forms of communication.

Abstract
In the era of increasing use of immunosuppressive and biologic therapy for inflammatory bowel disease, environmental influences remain important independent risk factors to modify the course of the disease, affect the need for surgery and recurrence rates post-surgical resection. The effect of smoking on inflammatory bowel disease has been established over the decades, however the exact mechanism of how smoking affects remains as area of research. Alcohol is also among the socio-environmental factors which has been recognised to cause a flare of symptoms in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Nonetheless, the exact relation to date is not fully understood, and various paradoxical results from different studies are still a point of controversy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although evidence-based guidelines have been developed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the extent to which they are followed is unclear. The objective of this study was to review clinicians' adherence to international IBD guidelines. METHODS Retrospective data collection of patients attending a tertiary Australian hospital IBD clinic over a 12-month period. Management practices were audited and compared to ECCO (European Crohn's and Colitis Organization) guidelines. RESULTS Data from 288 patients were collected: 47% (136/288) male; mean age 43; 140/288 (49%) patients had ulcerative colitis (UC); 145/288 (50%) patients had Crohn's disease (CD); 3/288 (1%) patients had IBD-unclassified (IBD-U). Patient care was undertaken by gastroenterologists, trainees and general practitioners. DISEASE MANAGEMENT Overall adherence to disease management guidelines occurred in 204/288 (71%) of patient encounters. Discrepancies between guidelines and management were found in: 25/80 (31%) of patients with UC in remission receiving oral 5-aminosalicyclates (5-ASAs) as maintenance therapy, and; 46/110 (42%) of patients with small bowel and/or ileo-cecal CD receiving 5-ASA. Preventive Care: Adherence to ≥1 additional component of preventive care was observed in 73/288 (25%) of patient encounters: 12/133 (9%) on thiopurines underwent annual skin checks; 61/288 (21%) of patients with IBD underwent a bone scan; 46/288 (16%) patients were reminded to have their influenza vaccine. Psychological care: Assessment of psychological wellbeing was undertaken in only 16/288 (6%) of patients. CONCLUSIONS There remains a gap between adherence to international guidelines and clinical practice. Standardizing practice using evidence-based clinical pathways may be a strategy towards improving the quality of IBD outpatient management.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises two distinct conditions: ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, both of which are chronic, relapsing disorders carrying significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. With growing attention to coordinated healthcare for patients with chronic systemic diseases, this review focuses on the care of IBD patients in remission, their concerns, quality of life, follow-up, the role of primary care physicians and the IBD-specific aspects of long-term care. We did an extensive PubMed search for articles pertaining to IBD patients in remission and, along with the authors’ experience, formulated a comprehensive review. The difficulties faced by IBD patients in remission include but are not limited to education and employment concerns, psychosocial issues, problems related to health insurance, nutrition, fertility and infections. This review also addresses newer treatment modalities, the debatable effects of smoking on IBD and the importance of vaccination. IBD in remission can be a challenge due to its multifaceted nature; however, with a coordinated approach by gastroenterologists and other involved practitioners, several of these issues can be addressed.
