Abstract
Background In contrast to pediatric Crohn's disease (CD), little is known in pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) about the relationship between disease phenotype and serologic reactivity to microbial and other antigens. Aim The aim of this study was to examine disease phenotype and serology in a well-characterized inception cohort of children newly diagnosed with UC during the PROTECT Study (Predicting Response to Standardized Pediatric Colitis Therapy). Methods Patients were recruited from 29 participating centers. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and serologic (pANCA, ASCA IgA/IgG, Anti-CBir1, and Anti-OmpC) data were obtained from children 4-17 years old with UC. Results Sixty-five percent of the patients had positive serology for pANCA, with 62% less than 12 years old and 66% 12 years old or older. Perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies did not correspond to a specific phenotype though pANCA ≥100, found in 19%, was strongly associated with pancolitis (P = 0.003). Anti-CBir1 was positive in 19% and more common in younger children with 32% less than 12 years old as compared with 14% 12 years old or older (P < 0.001). No association was found in any age group between pANCA and Anti-CBir1. Relative rectal sparing was more common in +CBir1, 16% versus 7% (P = 0.02). Calprotectin was lower in Anti-CBir1+ (Median [IQR] 1495 mcg/g [973-3333] vs 2648 mcg/g [1343-4038]; P = 0.04). Vitamin D 25-OH sufficiency was associated with Anti-CBir1+ (P = 0.0009). Conclusions The frequency of pANCA in children was consistent with adult observations. High titer pANCA was associated with more extensive disease, supporting the idea that the magnitude of immune reactivity may reflect disease severity. Anti-CBir1+ was more common in younger ages, suggesting host-microbial interactions may differ by patient age.

Abstract
PURPOSE Approximately 5 to 10 percent of patients undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis are subsequently diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Preoperative predictors for Crohn's disease post-ileal pouch-anal anastomosis have not been prospectively defined. METHODS A total of 238 consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis were prospectively enrolled into a longitudinal database. Clinical factors were assessed perioperatively. Serum drawn preoperatively was assayed for anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae, antiouter membrane porin-C, anti-CBir1, and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Crohn's disease was defined by small bowel inflammation proximal to the ileal pouch or a perianal fistula identified at least three months after ileostomy closure. Predictors were assessed in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model to predict the rate of Crohn's disease after ileostomy closure. RESULTS Sixteen patients (7 percent) were diagnosed with Crohn's disease; median time to Crohn's disease was 19 (range, 1-41) months. Significant factors for postoperative Crohn's disease after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis included family history of Crohn's disease (hazard ratio, 8.4; 95 percent confidence interval, 2.96-24.1; P < 0.0001) and anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae immunoglobulin-A seropositivity (hazard ratio, 3.14; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.1-9.81; P = 0.04). Crohn's disease developed in only 8 of 198 patients (4 percent) without these predictors vs. 8 of 40 patients (20 percent) in those with at least one of these factors (P = 0.002). The cumulative risk of Crohn's disease among patients with two risk factors (67 percent) was higher than in patients with either risk factor (18 percent) or neither risk factor (4 percent, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with ulcerative colitis and indeterminate colitis with a family history of Crohn's disease or preoperative anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae immunoglobulin-A seropositivity are more likely to be diagnosed with Crohn's disease after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
