Abstract
Surgery for Crohn's disease (CD) is not curative, as postoperative recurrence (POR) after ileocolonic resection is the rule in the absence of prophylactic treatment. In the present article, we critically review available data on the role of anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents and new biologics (including vedolizumab and ustekinumab) in the prevention and treatment of POR after surgery in CD. Several studies (summarised in various meta-analyses) have confirmed the efficacy of anti-TNFs in the prevention of POR. We identified 37 studies, including 1863 CD patients, with mean endoscopic POR at 6-12 months of 29%. Only few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have directly compared thiopurines and anti-TNFs, with controversial results, although the superiority of the latter is supported by several meta-analyses. Infliximab and adalimumab seem equally effective. The combination of anti-TNFs and immunosuppressives should be considered in patients previously exposed to anti-TNFs. Several studies have shown that anti-TNFs remain an effective option to prevent POR also in patients with anti-TNF failure before surgery. In fact, the use of the same anti-TNF before and after surgery might be effective for the prevention of POR. Prophylactic anti-TNF treatment, once started, should be continued long term. Anti-TNFs are also effective for the treatment of established POR. Retreatment with anti-TNFs for POR is a valid strategy even after their preoperative failure. In six studies (including 156 patients) evaluating vedolizumab, mean endoscopic POR at 6-12 months was 41%. The non-randomised comparison of anti-TNFs and vedolizumab has provided controversial results. One placebo-controlled RCT confirmed that vedolizumab is quite effective in preventing POR in CD patients with increased risk of recurrence. Seven studies (including 162 patients) evaluated ustekinumab, with a mean endoscopic POR at 6-12 months of 41%. The comparative efficacy of ustekinumab and anti-TNFs is still unclear. Ustekinumab and vedolizumab seem to be equally effective, although the experience is very limited. In conclusion, to date, anti-TNFs are the most effective agents in preventing and treating POR in CD. Anti-TNFs remain an effective option to prevent POR also in patients with anti-TNF failure before surgery. Vedolizumab seems to be quite effective in the prevention of POR in patients with increased risk of recurrence. Ustekinumab is probably also effective in the postoperative setting, although the comparative efficacy with anti-TNFs or vedolizumab is still unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately half of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) may inevitably receive surgical intervention as the disease progress. However, about 75% of CD patients will experience postoperative recurrence (POR). Biologics are appealing alternatives for the prevention of POR; however, it is still unclear which biological agents are more efficient. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy of biologics for POR prevention and to compare the superiority of different biologics. METHODS We conducted a thorough search of online databases and screened for studies on the efficacy of biologics in preventing POR (clinical, endoscopic, or histological) that were published until January 2021. The results were presented as forest plots and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS We included 26 studies with 2,136 participants. Overall, biologics were more efficient over non-biological treatments in preventing endoscopic, severe endoscopic, and clinical POR without increasing the frequency of adverse events. Among the various types of biologics, anti-TNFα agents were better than vedolizumab in preventing endoscopic POR. Moreover, infliximab had a similar curative effect to adalimumab in preventing endoscopic, severe endoscopic, and clinical recurrence. CONCLUSION Biologics, especially anti-TNFα agents, still play a vital role in preventing POR in the biological era.

J Dig Dis 2021; 22:263-270. [PMID: 33742782 DOI: 10.1111/1751-2980.12984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Revised: 02/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of different treatments for spontaneous intra-abdominal abscesses (IAA) in active Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients with CD between January 2007 and December 2018 was performed in two Belgian inflammatory bowel disease centers. Successful conservative management was defined as complete resolution of abscesses without the need for bowel resection. The primary outcome was suboptimal evolution, defined as a composite outcome of recurrence of abscess, postoperative complications or the need for a non-elective resection. RESULTS Forty CD patients presenting with 43 independent episodes of spontaneous IAA development were included. One underwent immediate bowel resection. In all other 42 cases a conservative approach was taken, which led to a complete abscess resolution rate of 28.6% (12/42). The remaining abscesses required bowel resection. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agent use was associated with successful conservative management (odds ratio [OR] 13.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.19-15.52, P = 0.006), while the opposite trend was found for corticosteroids (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02-1.26, P = 0.055). There was a trend towards suboptimal evolution in case of previous bowel resection (OR 4.77, 95% CI 0.77-29.66, P = 0.094) or in patients aged above 50 years (OR 5.17, 95% CI 0.86-30.91, P = 0.072). CONCLUSIONS Bowel resection appears to be inevitable in most CD patients presenting with IAA. An attempt at conservative treatment may be particularly successful with anti-TNF agents in younger patients who have not undergone previous bowel resection. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

High-dose omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation might be more superior than low-dose for major depressive disorder in early therapy period: a network meta-analysis. BMC Psychiatry 2020; 20:248. [PMID: 32434488 PMCID: PMC7238659 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-020-02656-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2019] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (n-3 PUFAs) supplementation for major depressive disorder (MDD) has been widely discussed in recent years, but its efficacy and application are still controversial. This network meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy of different dosages of n-3 PUFAs on MDD patients in the early period of treatment. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the efficacy of n-3 PUFA supplementation for patients with MDD were retrieved from the databases of Pubmed, Embase and the Cochrane Library. RCTs comparing the efficacy of n-3 PUFA for adult (≥18 years) MDD patients without comorbidity were eligible for our study. The score of depressive symptoms in early therapy period of the treatment (≤9 weeks) was extracted. Standardized mean deviations (SMDs) of all the sores from the eligible RCTs were synthesized in a pairwise meta-analysis in frequentist framework and a random-effects network meta-analysis in Bayesian framework for the overall and subgroups (high- and low-dose) efficacy of n-3 PUFAs. RESULTS A total of 910 MDD patients in 10 trials with 3 adjuvant therapy strategies (high-dose n-3 PUFAs, low-dose n-3 PUFAs and placebo) were included. Results of pairwise meta-analysis showed that n-3 PUFAs were superior to placebo (SMD: 1.243 ± 0.596; 95% CI: 0.060 ~ 2.414). Results of the network meta-analysis showed that both the high (SMD: 0.908 ± 0.331; 95% CI: 0.262 ~ 1.581) and the low-dose (SMD: 0.601 ± 0.286; 95% CI: 0.034 ~ 1.18) n-3 PUFAs were superior to placebo, and the efficacy of high-dose n-3 PUFAs is superior to that of low-dose. CONCLUSIONS High-dose n-3 PUFAs supplementation might be more superior than low-dose in the early therapy period for MDD. More head-to-head clinical trials need to be carried out to provide more direct comparison and enhance the evidence of the efficacy of n-3PUFAs for MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Network meta-analysis (NMA) has rapidly grown in use during the past decade for the comparison of healthcare interventions. While its general use in the comparison of conventional medicines has been studied previously, to our awareness, its use to assess complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) has not been studied. A scoping review of the literature was performed to identify systematic reviews incorporating NMAs involving one or more CAM interventions. METHODS An information specialist executed a multi-database search (e.g., MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane), and two reviewers performed study selection and data collection. Information on publication characteristics, diseases studied, interventions compared, reporting transparency, outcomes assessed, and other parameters were extracted from each review. RESULTS A total of 89 SR/NMAs were included. The largest number of NMAs was conducted in China (39.3%), followed by the United Kingdom (12.4%) and the United States (9.0%). Reviews were published between 2010 and 2018, with the majority published between 2015 and 2018. More than 90 different CAM therapies appeared at least once, and the median number per NMA was 2 (IQR 1-4); 20.2% of reviews consisted of only CAM therapies. Dietary supplements (51.1%) and vitamins and minerals (42.2%) were the most commonly studied therapies, followed by electrical stimulation (31.1%), herbal medicines (24.4%), and acupuncture and related treatments (22.2%). A diverse set of conditions was identified, the most common being various forms of cancer (11.1%), osteoarthritis of the hip/knee (7.8%), and depression (5.9%). Most reviews adequately addressed a majority of the PRISMA NMA extension items; however, there were limitations in indication of an existing review protocol, exploration of network geometry, and exploration of risk of bias across studies, such as publication bias. CONCLUSION The use of NMA to assess the effectiveness of CAM interventions is growing rapidly. Efforts to identify priority topics for future CAM-related NMAs and to enhance methods for CAM comparisons with conventional medicine are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the high rate of postoperative recurrence (POR) in Crohn's disease (CD), there is no widely accepted consensus on its prevention. AIM To compare the efficacy of biological and conventional therapies in preventing POR of CD. METHODS We searched four electronic databases up to April 2019 for articles that examined the efficacy of different preventive therapies against POR. Our PICO was: (P) adults with CD who underwent intestinal resection, (I) biological agents, (C) conventional therapies or a placebo, and (O) clinical, endoscopic, and histological POR. RESULTS Anti-TNFα agents were significantly better in preventing clinical, endoscopic, severe endoscopic and histological POR compared to conventional therapies (OR: 0.508, 95% CI: 0.309-0.834, P = 0.007; OR: 0.312, 95% CI: 0.199-0.380, P < 0.001; OR: 0.195, 95% CI: 0.107-0.356, P < 0.001; and OR: 0.255, 95% CI: 0.106-0.611, P = 0.002, respectively), as well as in the subgroup of nonselected CD patients (OR: 0.324, 95% CI: 0.158-0.664, P = 0.002; OR: 0.225, 95% CI: 0.124-0.409, P < 0.001; and OR: 0.248, 95% CI: 0.070-0.877, P = 0.031, respectively). Infliximab and adalimumab proved to be equally effective in preventing endoscopic POR. CONCLUSION Anti-TNFα agents are more effective in preventing clinical, endoscopic and histological POR than conventional therapies, even in nonselected CD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Intestinal anastomosis is an essential step in the intestinal resection in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Anastomotic configuration such as handsewn end-to-end anastomosis (HEEA), stapled side-to-side anastomosis (SSSA) and so on may be a predictor of prognosis for postoperative CD patients. However, the association between anastomotic types and surgical outcomes are controversial. The aim of this review is to identify the optimal anastomosis for intestinal resection in patients with CD. METHODS Clinical trials comparing anastomosis after intestinal resection in patients with CD were searched in the database of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Outcomes such as postoperative hospital stay, complications, mortality, recurrence, and reoperation were evaluated. Pairwise treatment effects were estimated through a random-effects network meta-analysis based on the frequency framework by using the STATA software and reported as the estimated summary effect for each comparison between the 2 treatments in the network with a 95% credible interval. RESULTS A total of 1113 patients in 11 trials were included. In pair-wise comparisons between groups, for overall postoperative complications, SSSA showed a more probability of superiority to HEEA; for complications other than anastomotic leak, anastomotic leak, wound infection, postoperative hospital stay and mortality, there were no significant difference between groups; for clinical recurrence, SSSA showed a more probability of superiority to HEEA; for reoperation, SSSA showed a more probability of superiority to HEEA. The number of eligible randomized controlled trails (RCTs) was small, and more than half of the included trials were retrospective studies; selection bias may lead to a less power in this assessment; follow-up time between different groups was different, which may possibly have affected the interpretation of the analysis of long-term outcome. CONCLUSION By comprehensive analyzing all the postoperative outcomes, SSSA appeared to be the optimal anastomotic strategy after intestinal resection for patients with CD.
