Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the recent evidence regarding the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated sacroiliitis, including the prevalence, pathogenesis, role of imaging, and therapeutic challenges. RECENT FINDINGS Sacroiliitis is an underappreciated musculoskeletal manifestation of IBD, a chronic inflammatory condition of the gut affecting the younger population. Untreated sacroiliitis can lead to joint destruction and chronic pain, further adding to morbidity in IBD patients. Recent publications suggest sacroiliitis can be detected on abdominal imaging obtained in IBD patients to study bowel disease, but only a small fraction of these patients were seen by rheumatologists. Early detection of IBD-associated sacroiliitis could be achieved by utilization of clinical screening tools in IBD clinics, careful examination of existing computed tomography and MRI studies, and timely referral to rheumatologist for further evaluation and treatment. Current treatment approaches for IBD and sacroiliitis include several targeted biologic therapies, but IBD-associated sacroiliitis has limited options, as these therapies may not overlap in both conditions. SUMMARY With the advances in imaging, sacroiliitis is an increasingly recognized comorbidity in IBD patients. Future studies focusing on this unique patient population will expand our understanding of complex pathophysiology of IBD-associated sacroiliitis and lead to identification of novel targeted therapies for this condition.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1365108. [PMID: 38638444 PMCID: PMC11024297 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1365108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives Previous observational studies have established a connection between bronchiectasis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but none of these studies have provided a clear explanation for the underlying cause of this relationship. The present study thus implemented Mendelian randomization (MR) design to explore possible bidirectional relationships between IBD and bronchiectasis risk, with an additional focus on Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) as IBD subtypes. Materials and methods A large genome-wide association study (GWAS)-derived data pool was leveraged to examine the relationships between bronchiectasis and IBD, CD, and UC. Two-sample MR analyses were performed with an inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach supplemented with the MR-Egger and weighted median methods. Sensitivity analyses were used to further assess the reliability of the main MR study findings. The possibility of reverse causation was also evaluated using a reverse MR approach. Results The IVW MR analytical approach revealed that IBD (p = 0.074), UC (p = 0.094), and CD (p = 0.644) had no significant impact on the incidence of bronchiectasis, with the converse also being true (p = 0.471, p = 0.700, and p = 0.099, respectively). Conclusion This MR analysis demonstrated that the higher occurrence of bronchiectasis in patients with IBD is not caused by genetic predisposition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene is a gene involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).The aim of the study is to investigate the association of MDR-1 gene polymorphisms (C2345T and G2677T) and IBD incidence in Egyptian patients, and its relation with disease severity. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a case-control study where genotyping of MDR-1 gene C3435T and G2677T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assayed. RESULTS Forty naïve IBD patients, who were composed of 25 UC and 15CD, were compared to 60 healthy controls. They were young aged with significant female predominance, particularly in CD (P = 0.004). UC was mainly (48 %) presented in moderate severity while CD was mainly (53.3 %) presented with mild severity. MDR-1 gene C3435T SNP was not statistically related to IBD, whether in terms of genotypes or alleles, yet its T allele was significantly related to moderate cases of UC (P = 0.014). However, GG genotype of G2677T SNP was significantly low in IBD (P = 0.013), while TT genotype and T allele were significantly related to CD (P = 0.011, and 0.012 respectively). Moreover, G allele proved to be associated significantly with moderate cases of UC (P = 0.001) and mild cases of CD (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS MDR-I gene G2677T SNP GG genotype proved to be protective against IBD, thus may be considered in diagnostic workup of IBD including its severity.

Abstract
The genetic background of inflammatory bowel disease, both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, has been known for more than 2 decades. In the last 20 years, genome-wide association studies have dramatically increased our knowledge on the genetics of inflammatory bowel disease with more than 200 risk genes having been identified. Paralleling this increasing knowledge, the armamentarium of inflammatory bowel disease medications has been growing constantly. With more available therapeutic options, treatment decisions become more complex, with still many patients experiencing a debilitating disease course and a loss of response to treatment over time. With a better understanding of the disease, more effective personalized treatment strategies are looming on the horizon. Genotyping has long been considered a strategy for treatment decisions, such as the detection of thiopurine S-methyltransferase and nudix hydrolase 15 polymorphisms before the initiation of azathioprine. However, although many risk genes have been identified in inflammatory bowel disease, a substantial impact of genetic risk assessment on therapeutic strategies and disease outcome is still missing. In this review, we discuss the genetic background of inflammatory bowel disease, with a particular focus on the latest advances in the field and their potential impact on management decisions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are challenging clinical situation. No prospective study assessed remission risk factors of EIMs. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the epidemiology, risk factors of EIM occurrence, and EIM remission in a large IBD cohort. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 30 French referral centers. Between May 2021 and June 2021, all consecutive patients attending to hospital appointment were systematically invited to fill out a questionnaire. RESULTS A total of 1,971 consecutive patients with IBD were analyzed. There were 1,056 women (53.8%), and the median age of patients was 41 years (31-54). The median disease duration was 11 years (1-18). Overall, 544 (27.6%) had at least 1 EIM. In 20.2% of cases, patients had multiple EIMs. The most frequent EIMs were rheumatological (19%) and dermatological (10%) manifestations. Immunosuppressant treatment (odds ratio [OR] = 2.56; P < 0.001) was a risk factor of EIM, while the Montreal A3 classification (OR = 0.61, P = 0.023) and male gender (OR = 0.61, P < 0.001) were associated with a lower risk of EIM occurrence. IBD current clinical remission (OR = 2.42; P < 0.001) and smoking cessation (OR = 2.98; P < 0.001) were associated factors of EIM remission. Conversely, age at IBD diagnosis (OR = 0.98; P < 0.018) was associated with a lower risk of EIM remission. DISCUSSION One quarter of patients had at least 1 EIM. Beyond factors associated with the presence of EIMs, patients with IBD current clinical remission and smoking cessation are more likely to achieve EIM remission, while increasing age at IBD diagnosis is associated with decreased chance of remission.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) are chronic immune-mediated diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that are associated with many extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). EIMs can affect nearly any organ system and are associated with impaired quality of life. This issue of The Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology includes a cross-sectional study of EIMs within the GETAID cohort, one of the largest to date reporting on the prevalence, risk factors, and predictors of remission for EIMs. We discuss how these results fit with existing literature and how clinicians may incorporate these insights into practice.

Abstract
The prevalence and incidence of Ulcerative Colitis (UC), a recurrent and remitting inflammatory condition, are rising. Any part of the colon may be affected, beginning with inflammation of the mucosa in the rectum and continuing proximally continuously. Bloody diarrhea, tenesmus, fecal urgency, and stomach pain are typical presenting symptoms. Many patients present with extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) including musculoskeletal, ocular, renal, hepatobiliary, and dermatological presentation, among others. Most cases are treated with pharmacological therapy including mesalazine and glucocorticoids. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel procedure that is increasingly being used to treat UC, however, its use yet remains controversial because of uncertain efficacy. FMT can lower gut permeability and consequently disease severity by boosting short-chain fatty acids production, helping in epithelial barrier integrity preservation. Upadacitinib (JAK Kinase inhibitor) is another newer treatment option, which is an FDA-approved drug that is being used to treat UC. This review article provides a comprehensive review of the EIMs of UC, the role of FMT along with various recent clinical trials pertaining to FMT as well as other diagnostic and therapeutic updates.

Abstract
Background Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are a common, frequently debilitating complication of the disease. Biologics are indicated and often required in patients with EIMs to control disease; however, little is known about whether patients with EIMs cycle through more therapies than their counterparts without EIMs. Methods To address this question, we performed a retrospective analysis of patients enrolled in the Study of Prospective Adult Research Cohort with IBD registry seen at our University Medical Center, on data from December 2016 to January 2021. Four hundred fifty-six participants with information on EIMs and biologic use available were included, and demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed. Results Three hundred thirty-eight and 118 participants without and with EIMs were identified, respectively. Those with EIMs were likelier to have biologic exposure, and cycle through more biologics, both in univariate and multivariate analyses controlling for age, disease duration, sex, corticosteroid use, and IBD type (P-value = .006). In a subanalysis of patients with Crohn's disease (CD), EIMs were associated with increased biologic cycling in ileocolonic disease (P-value = .050). Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first study assessing biologic cycling in patients with EIMs. Our findings that patients with EIMs are likelier to cycle through biologics, particularly CD patients with ileocolonic disease, highlights the need for more research on which biologics may be most effective for specific subsets of IBD patients, including those with concurrent EIMs. The presence of EIMs is a marker of harder-to-treat IBD and may indicate earlier initiation of advanced therapies.

Abstract
The term spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses a group of interrelated disorders characterised by the involvement of the musculoskeletal system as well as extra-articular manifestations like acute anterior uveitis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Likewise, IBD may present with various extra-intestinal manifestations among which those involving the musculoskeletal system, namely peripheral and axial SpA are the most common. The identification of patients with both SpA and IBD is of paramount importance in clinical practice since the coexistence of these two entities has been associated with great disability and decreased quality of life. In order to achieve an early diagnosis of IBD-SpA it is instrumental that rheumatologists seek for gastrointestinal symptoms in SpA patients and likewise that gastroenterologists seek for inflammatory musculoskeletal symptoms in patients with IBD. This narrative review aims at critically appraising the available evidence about SpA occurring in IBD patients versus IBD occurring in patients with SpA and at highlighting similarities and differences between the two scenarios.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ustekinumab serves as an important alternative option for patients with various extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs), which leads to poor quality of life and heavy burden of care. Therefore, a comprehensive review summarizing the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with CDassociated EIMs is needed to provide reference for clinical medication and help with the appliance of precision medicine. AREAS COVERED In this review, we collected and summarized the efficacy and paradoxical side effects of ustekinumab in patients with CDassociated EIMs including musculoskeletal, cutaneous, ocular, and hepatobiliary manifestations. This literature review was performed using PubMed to identify and collect relevant studies published in English. EXPERT OPINION The effectiveness of ustekinumab on patients with CDassociated EIMs is mainly reflected in musculoskeletal and cutaneous manifestations compared to ocular or hepatobiliary manifestations. Relevant data from large scale cohort studies and prospective randomized trials are needed to further demonstrate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with multiple EIMs.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a greater frequency of ocular extra-intestinal manifestations (O-EIMs) than the general population, while Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have inconsistent prevalence, according to previous studies. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of O-EIMs in CD and UC, respectively. We systemically reviewed O-EIMs and IBD across several online databases. Inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) observational studies examining the association between O-EIMs and IBD, such as cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies; (2) human and adult individuals; and (3) with case and control groups consisting of patients with and without O-EIMs, respectively. Patients under the age of 18 or any study on pediatric IBD will be excluded. The prevalence of uveitis in adults was determined by 21 studies comprising 190,941 individuals with IBD, including 62,874 CD and 128,067 UC. The pooled analysis revealed significantly increased odds of uveitis in patients with CD than with UC (pooled odd ratio (OR) 1.603, 95% confidence interval 1.254-2.049). The subgroup analysis revealed that European populations had significantly higher odds of developing uveitis and episcleritis in patients with CD than UC (pooled OR 1.683 and 2.401, respectively). Although O-EIMs may be the prodrome of IBD, no consistent finding was obtained as a result of the high heterogeneity from the two included studies. This meta-analysis indicates the significantly increased odds of uveitis in adults with CD than those with UC. In subgroup analysis, European with CD seemed to have higher odds of uveitis and episcleritis than those with UC. Nonetheless, the link between O-EIMs and IBD remained unclear.

Medication use among patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis before and after the initiation of advanced therapy. BMC Gastroenterol 2022; 22:474. [DOI: 10.1186/s12876-022-02584-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although various treatments help reduce abdominal pain, real-world pain medication utilization among patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) receiving advanced therapies is poorly understood. The aim is to understand the utilization of pain medication 12 months before and after the initiation of advanced therapies among patients with newly diagnosed CD or UC.
Methods
This retrospective, observational cohort study used administrative medical and pharmacy claims data of patients with CD or UC from HealthCore Integrated Research Database (HIRD®). The data from patients with use of pain medication over 12 months follow-up (after the initiation date of advanced therapies) were collected and analyzed. Differences in the use of pain medication 12 months before and after the initiation of advanced therapies were assessed using McNemar's and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results
Prior to initiating advanced therapies, 23.1% of patients with CD (N = 540) received nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), 78.1% glucocorticoids, 49.4% opioids, and 29.3% neuromodulators; similarly, 20.9% of patients with UC (N = 373) received NSAIDs, 91.4% glucocorticoids, 40.8% opioids, and 29.5% neuromodulators. After receiving advanced therapies for 12 months, patients reported a reduction in the use of steroids (78.1% vs. 58.9%, P < 0.001 in CD; 91.4% vs. 74.3%, P < 0.001 in UC), opioids (49.4% vs. 41.5%, P = 0.004 in CD; 40.8% vs. 36.5%, P = 0.194 in UC), and NSAIDs (23.1% vs. 15.0%, P < 0.001 in CD; 20.9% vs. 15.8%, P = 0.035 in UC), while the use of neuromodulators significantly increased (29.3% vs. 33.7%, P = 0.007 in CD; 29.5% vs. 35.7%; P = 0.006 in UC).
Conclusions
The use of pain medications such as NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, opioids, and neuromodulators was common among patients with CD or UC. These results highlight that patients with CD or UC continued to receive pain medications even after initiating advanced therapies.

A Case Report and Literature Review. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:2267.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease and ulcerative hemorrhagic colitis are forms of granulomatous inflammatory intestinal disease, which usually affects the gastrointestinal tract. There are also reported rare localizations at the skin, kidney, joints, liver and eye level. Pulmonary involvement is relatively rare, and it is most commonly reported in suppuration with bronchiectasis. On the other hand, sarcoidosis is, in principle, a thoracic localization of a granulomatosis disease, although bowel, skin and intestinal disorders are described. There is not a clear line to separate Crohn's disease from sarcoidosis with, possibly because they are, in fact, considered to have the same inflammatory granulomatosis disease pathology. The diagnoses of the two entities, sarcoidosis and Crohn's disease, are based on non-pathognomonic, inclusive clinical and paraclinical criteria, without elements of the mutual exclusion of typical locations. CASE REPORT We present a very rare case of a young male, already diagnosed with small-bowel Crohn's disease. Granulomatous lung disease with major hemoptysis requires emergency surgery. An intraoperative assessment revealed a necrotic hemorrhagic lesion located in the left lower lobe and a lobectomy was performed. The final pathological report showed the presence of non-caseous granulomatous inflammation, with the identification of specific multinucleated giant cells. CONCLUSIONS The identical diagnostic principles of Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis, Crohn's disease as a predecessor to pulmonary lesions, the clinical picture and the necrotico-hemorrhagic appearance of the unilateral pulmonary lesion, which are similar to aggressive necrotico-hemorrhagic or perforating intestinal forms, are arguments in favor of the diagnosis of pulmonary Crohn's disease and not pulmonary sarcoidosis. At the same time, in general, the two diseases have overlapping elements, suggesting they are, in fact, not the same disease with different facets.

Abstract
A wide spectrum of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) can burden patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). EIMs contribute fairly to morbidity and mortality rates in IBD patients. Moreover, EIMs in IBD patients are so frequent that some suggest that IBD should be approached as a systemic disorder. Anemia is very common in IBD patients. The two most common types of anemia in IBD, iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease, are extraintestinal complications. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare extraintestinal manifestation of IBD, more frequent in ulcerative colitis (UC) than in Crohn's disease (CD). In this case-based review of the literature, we present a 36-year-old female patient diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) and Coombs positive AIHA, complicated by pulmonary thromboembolism and successfully treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism of AIHA in IBD is unclear. Treatment options for AIHA in IBD patients before biologic therapy included corticosteroids alone or in combination with azathioprine (AZA), methotrexate, and surgical treatment (colectomy and/or splenectomy). Currently, biologic therapy is a promising therapeutic option, especially in corticosteroid refractory or corticosteroid-dependent IBD patients with AIHA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The abdominal pain common in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] patients is traditionally associated with inflammation but may persist during clinical remission. Central sensitization [CS] has not previously been explored in these patients. This study aimed to determine the epidemiology of pain in IBD patients and to specify pain characteristics with particular attention to CS. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 200 patients; 67% had Crohn's disease [CD]. Pain was assessed using the McGill questionnaire, using the Douleur Neuropathique 4 [DN4] questionnaire and by clinical examination. Its impacts on quality of life, depression and anxiety were also assessed. RESULTS Three-quarters of IBD patients complained of pain, including intermittent pain attacks, 62% reported abdominal pain and 17.5% had CS. The prevalence of pain [83.6% vs 59.1%; p < 0.001] and abdominal pain [68.7% vs 48.5%; p = 0.006] was higher in CD patients than in ulcerative colitis [UC] patients. Multivariate analysis confirmed that age [p = 0.02], sex [female] [p = 0.004] and CD [p = 0.005] were independent risk factors for pain. Pain intensity was greater in the case of CS (6 [5-3] vs 3 [1.5-5], p < 0.003) which significantly impaired quality of life [p < 0.003] compared with pain without CS. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of pain was high in IBD patients [≈75%] and higher in CD patients. Significant impacts on quality of life were confirmed. More than 25% of patients with abdominal pain described CS as responsible for more severe pain and worsened quality of life. TRIAL REGISTRATION REF NCT04488146.

Abstract
Background: Extra-intestinal manifestations are frequent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ocular disorders are generally under diagnosed as they are challenging diagnosis. Aims: We assessed the prevalence of ophthalmological manifestations in patients with IBD, and investigated characteristics associated with ocular manifestations. Methods: We performed a retrospective study including patients followed for IBD and had an ophthalmologic visit from January 2013 to July 2020, among 1432 patients followed during this period. Two groups were considered: the first group included patients whose an ocular diagnosis was considered as “related to IBD”, and the second group including patients whose an ocular diagnosis was considered “not related to IBD”. Results: Among 1432 patients with IBD, eighty-seven (6.1%) patients had an ophthalmologic visit. Fifty-three patients (3.7%) were considered to have an ocular extra-intestinal manifestation or an iatrogenic effect of IBD treatment, and 34 diagnoses (2.4%) were considered not related to IBD. Inflammatory surface pathologies were the most frequent (33.2%), including 15 patients with dry eye (17.2%), 9 with blepharitis (10.3%), and 5 with chalazions (meibomian cyst) (5.7%). Uveitis was diagnosed in 13 patients (14.9%), episcleritis in 5 patients (5.7%), and scleritis in 2 patients (2.3%). Characteristics of patients with an ophthalmological diagnosis “related to IBD” versus “not related to IBD” were not statistically different. Conclusion: In our cohort, less than 5% of patients had ophthalmological extra-intestinal manifestation. The most frequent ocular diagnosis were dry eye and uveitis. No disease characteristics of IBD were found to be associated with ocular manifestations.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term used to describe chronic inflammatory entities of the gastrointestinal system with an unclear etiology. Extra-intestinal manifestations beyond the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract can also occur. Several studies have investigated the alterations of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in patients with IBD. To the best of our knowledge, the present review article is the first to summarize all the types of PFTs that have been performed in patients with IBD. Contradictory data exist regarding the association of PFT alterations with disease activity. PFT abnormalities can develop in individuals with IBD who have no clear clinical signs or radiological evidence, suggesting that PFTs may be useful in detecting latent respiratory involvement. The most prevalent finding in the PFTs of adults and children with IBD is an impairment in the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, although evidence on the other tests, particularly spirometric values, and their connection with disease activity is inconsistent.

Abstract
Pulmonary manifestation (PM) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children is a rare condition. The exact pathogenesis is still unclear, but several explanatory concepts were postulated and several case reports in children were published. We performed a systematic Medline search between April 1976 and April 2022. Different pathophysiological concepts were identified, including the shared embryological origin, “miss-homing” of intestinal based neutrophils and T lymphocytes, inflammatory triggering via certain molecules (tripeptide proline-glycine-proline, interleukin 25), genetic factors and alterations in the microbiome. Most pediatric IBD patients with PM are asymptomatic, but can show alterations in pulmonary function tests and breathing tests. In children, the pulmonary parenchyma is more affected than the airways, leading histologically mainly to organizing pneumonia. Medication-associated lung injury has to be considered in pulmonary symptomatic pediatric IBD patients treated with certain agents (i.e., mesalamine, sulfasalazine or infliximab). Furthermore, the risk of pulmonary embolism is generally increased in pediatric IBD patients. The initial treatment of PM is based on corticosteroids, either inhaled for the larger airways or systemic for smaller airways and parenchymal disease. In summary, this review article summarizes the current knowledge about PM in pediatric IBD patients, focusing on pathophysiological and clinical aspects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential association between uveitis and an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study by interrogating data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database entered between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2013 to identify uveitis patients and age- and gender-matched controls. The cumulative incidence rates of subsequent IBD in the two groups were compared. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of IBD related to uveitis was generated by a multivariate cox regression model after adjustment for hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, obesity and smoking. Furthermore, the HRs of the Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) IBD subtypes were calculated separately. RESULTS A total of 198,923 subjects with uveitis and 397,846 controls were enroled. The mean age of the cohort was 47.7 ± 18.9 years. A significantly higher cumulative incidence of IBD was found in the uveitis group than in controls (4.13% vs. 1.48%, p < 0.0001). Under univariate cox regression analysis, uveitis patients had a significantly higher risk of IBD (HR = 1.47; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.43-1.52, p < 0.0001). The association remained significant in the multivariate regression model, with an adjusted HR of 1.44 (95% CI: 1.39-1.49, p < 0.0001). Moreover, in subgroup analysis, uveitis was significantly associated with an increased risk of Crohn's disease (adjusted HR = 1.49; 95% CI: 1.44-1.54), but not with ulcerative colitis (adjusted HR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.92-1.15). CONCLUSIONS Patients with uveitis are at significantly greater risk of developing IBD than individuals without uveitis.

Reflecting on the immunopathology of arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease: what do we know and what should we know? Clin Rheumatol 2022; 41:2581-2588. [PMID: 35543893 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06201-3] [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: 01/02/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is clinically closely associated with arthritis. Three major arthritis clinical subtypes have been described, peripheral arthritis type 1 (PeA1), peripheral arthritis type 2 (PeA2), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). While genetic overlaps between IBD and arthritis have been defined, detailed pathophysiology for these three major subtypes of arthritis in patients with IBD has only recently begun to be established. The genetic and molecular mechanisms distinguishing axial and peripheral arthropathies in patients with UC and CD need to be better described. Understanding the pathophysiology for PeA1, PeA2, and axSpA in the settings of both UC and CD is necessary to provide the fundamental biology underlying the clinical phenotypes in IBD arthritis. This has been attempted for CD-associated spondyloarthritis, differentiating this from both CD and axSpA, while observing unique peripheral blood mononuclear cells linking gut inflammation to joint disease. We should know more about the processes by which immune cells are perturbed in these disorders, how they translocate to joints, how they are activated, what other molecules and mediators are involved, and how gut microbes and microbial products damage joints. Information from such studies are needed to elucidate whether distinctions between IBD-related peripheral and axSpA are clinically meaningful. IBD-related peripheral and axSpA studies are needed to elucidate whether distinctions between peripheral and axSpA are clinically meaningful, to better understand immunopathogenesis, and to develop novel targeted therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, the prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases has been increasing in Japan due to the westernization of lifestyles. Many patients have been reported to have extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) at least once. Skin lesions occur with a high degree of frequency among EIMs, with erythema nodosum (EN) and pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) the main complications. Cytapheresis is again attracting attention as a treatment with few side effects. METHODS We investigated the therapeutic effect of cytapheresis on ulcerative colitis (UC) and cutaneous EIMs. Between 2008 and 2021, 240 patients with active UC had induction therapy by cytapheresis at our hospital. RESULTS Remission and response rates were 50.0% and 67.5%, respectively. Apheresis was performed on 7 patients with PG and 5 patients with EN with a good response. Serious adverse events were not observed. CONCLUSION This retrospective assessment of efficacy showed that EN and PG responded favorably to cytapheresis. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is well recognized, uncertainties remain about the magnitude of this problem. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing prevalence of PSC in IBD to investigate whether type of IBD, how presence of PSC was defined, sex, disease extent or location, time period, or geographic location influenced prevalence. METHODS Medline, Embase, and Embase Classic were searched (from inception to April 10, 2021) to identify observational studies recruiting ≥50 adult patients with IBD and reporting prevalence of PSC. Data were extracted, and pooled prevalence, odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. RESULTS Of 1204 citations, 64 studies were eligible, containing 776,700 patients. Overall, pooled prevalence of PSC in IBD was 2.16%; it was highest in South America and lowest in Southeast Asia. Pooled prevalences in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and IBD-unclassified were 2.47%, 0.96%, and 5.01%, respectively. Pooled prevalence was significantly higher in UC versus CD (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.24-2.29). In subgroup analyses according to method used to define presence of PSC, the highest prevalence was 2.88% in studies performing both liver biochemistry and endoscopic retrograde/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and the lowest was 1.79% in studies using a clinical diagnosis. Prevalence was generally higher in men, patients with more extensive, compared with left-side, UC or ileocolonic or colonic, compared with ileal, CD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide the first pooled estimates of the burden of PSC in IBD, as well as potential risk factors, which may be important in establishing a prompt diagnosis and initiating appropriate surveillance for relevant gastrointestinal malignancies.

Abstract
Alopecia areata (AA) is a type of immune-mediated hair loss and is reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. This suggests that there might be a shared molecular pathway in the pathogenesis of AA and inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonists are also rarely associated with new-onset AA. We present a patient with Crohn's disease treated with adalimumab who developed AA that rapidly progressed to alopecia totalis and universalis. We describe the use of tofacitinib, a Janus kinase 1/3 inhibitor, to not only successfully treat the AA but also maintain her Crohn's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data regarding the extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) associated with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Korea. We aimed to investigate the clinical features and factors associated with the development of EIMs in Korean children and adolescents with IBD. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted from 2010 to 2017. Baseline clinicodemographic, laboratory findings, disease activity, disease phenotypes, and EIMs were investigated. RESULTS A total of 172 patients were included. One-hundred thirty-seven (79.7%) had Crohn's disease (CD), and 35 (20.3%) had ulcerative colitis (UC). EIMs occurred in 42 patients (24.4%). EIMs developed in 34/137 diagnosed with CD (24.8%), and in 8/35 diagnosed with UC (22.9%), during a median follow-up duration of 3.2 (interquartile range, 1.9-5.4) years for CD and 3.0 (1.0-4.0) years for UC, respectively. Arthritis/arthralgia was most commonly observed (n = 15, 35.7%), followed by stomatitis/oral ulcer (n = 10, 23.8%), hepatitis (n = 5, 11.9%), nephritis (n = 4, 9.5%), pancreatitis (n = 2, 4.8%), erythema nodosum (n = 2, 4.8%), pyoderma gangrenosum (n = 1, 2.4%), primary sclerosing cholangitis (n = 1, 2.4%), uveitis (n = 1, 2.4%), and ankylosing spondylitis (n = 1, 2.4%). A significant difference in disease severity based on the Paris classification (P = 0.011) and ESR at diagnosis (P = 0.043) was observed between the EIM positive and negative group in patients with UC. According to logistic regression analyses, S1 disease severity based on the Paris classification was the only factor that was significantly associated with the development of EIMs (odds ratio, 16.57; 95% confidence interval, 2.18-287.39; P = 0.017). CONCLUSION Severe disease activity based on the Paris classification in pediatric patients with UC was significantly associated with EIM development. As disease severity in the Paris classification is a dynamic parameter, treatment should be focused on disease control to minimize the occurrence of EIMs in Korean children and adolescents with UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sweet syndrome [SS] is a dermatological condition associated with both inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] and azathioprine use. We performed a systematic review to better delineate clinical characteristics and outcomes of SS in IBD patients. METHODS Peer-reviewed, full-text journal publications from inception to April 2020 in English language and adult subjects with IBD were included. Skin biopsy was required as SS gold-standard diagnosis. Azathioprine-associated SS required recent azathioprine introduction or recurrence of SS after azathioprine re-challenge. RESULTS We included 89 publications with 95 patients [mean age of SS diagnosis: 44 years; 59% female; 20 with azathioprine-associated SS and 75 without]. SS was diagnosed prior to IBD in 5.3%, at time of IBD diagnosis in 29.5% and after diagnosis in 64.2%. In total, 91% of patients with SS had known colonic involvement and the majority [76%] had active IBD at diagnosis; 22% had additional extra-intestinal manifestations. Successful therapies for SS included corticosteroids [90.5%], anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF]-α inhibitor therapy [14.8%] and azathioprine [11.6%]. Azathioprine-associated SS was distinct, with 85% male patients, mean age of SS diagnosis of 50 years and a lower likelihood to be prescribed corticosteroids for treatment [75% vs 94.7% of non-azathioprine-associated SS, p = 0.008]. All patients with azathioprine-associated SS improved with medication cessation and developed recurrence after re-challenge. CONCLUSIONS SS may precede or occur with IBD diagnosis in almost one-third of cases. Azathioprine and IBD-associated SS present and behave distinctly, especially with regard to gender, age at diagnosis and recurrence risk. Corticosteroids and TNF-α inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in treating SS in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the prevalence of mucocutaneous manifestations (MCM) and potential associations with clinical characteristics in Greek patients with IBD. METHODS This was a retrospective observational single-center study. Patients with IBD diagnosis attending a tertiary referral hospital in Heraklion, Crete, from January 2010 to January 2020 were included. Data were extracted with relevant medical information from the IBD registry. Standard statistical tests, descriptive statistics tests, chi-square, Pearson correlation and multivariate analysis tests were performed, using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. RESULTS A total of 806 IBD patients were included in the study: 463 (57.4%) males, 441 (54.7%) Crohn's Disease, 352 (43.7%) ulcerative colitis and 13 (1.6%) IBD unclassified (IBD-U). Mean age was 50.67 ± 17.67 years, mean age of IBD diagnosis 36.67 ± 16.53 years and mean disease duration 13.65 ± 9.89 years. The prevalence of MCM was 171/806 (21.2%), 9.65% in ulcerative colitis and 30.84% in CD. The presence of MCM was significantly correlated with younger age of IBD diagnosis, longer IBD duration, CD diagnosis, inflammatory behavior and ileal or ileocolonic location of CD, extensive colitis in ulcerative colitis, intestinal manifestations (EIMs) and treatment with immunosuppressant or anti-TNFa. The development of MCM was independently associated with the presence of other EIMs odds ratio (OR), 4.03 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.60-6.24; P < 0.001] and treatment with immunosuppressant (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 01.14-3.07; P = 0.013) or anti-TNFa (OR = 2.47; 95% CI, 1.59-3.84; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In our study, about one-fifth of IBD patients developed MCM that was more frequently present in CD than in ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by intestinal inflammation; however, it is also known to have extraintestinal manifestations. Ocular manifestations of IBD include keratopathy, episcleritis, scleritis, and uveitis and are among the most common extraintestinal manifestations. These diseases can lead to significant ocular morbidity if unrecognized and left untreated. A review of the literature was performed on PubMed and is summarized and critically appraised in this article with the aim being to describe the varying ocular manifestations of IBD and outlining their treatments. Ultimately, a framework is provided to investigate ocular symptoms in patients with IBD. An ocular review of systems is also provided as a tool to equip gastroenterologists and internal medicine physicians to be able to recognize and triage ocular complaints appropriately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatological conditions such as erythema nodosum (EN), pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet's syndrome, and aphthous stomatitis can occur with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and are considered dermatological extraintestinal manifestations (D-EIMs). Rarely, they may precede IBD. Other common conditions such as psoriasis have also been associated with IBD. This study examined the risk of a subsequent IBD diagnosis in patients presenting with a D-EIM. METHODS A retrospective cohort study compared patients with D-EIMs and age-/sex-matched patients without D-EIMs. Hazard ratios (HRs) were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, deprivation, comorbidity, smoking, loperamide use, anemia, and lower gastrointestinal symptoms. Logistic regression was used to produce a prediction model for the diagnosis of IBD within 3 years of EN diagnosis. RESULTS We matched 7447 patients with D-EIMs (74% female; median age 38 years (interquartile ratio [IQR], 24-65 years) to 29,297 patients without D-EIMs. We observed 131 (1.8%) subsequent IBD diagnoses in patients with D-EIMs compared with 65 (0.2%) in those without D-EIMs. Median time to IBD diagnosis was 205 days (IQR, 44-661 days) in those with D-EIMs and 1594 days (IQR, 693-2841 days) in those without D-EIMs. The adjusted HR for a later diagnosis of IBD was 6.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.53-8.37; P < 0.001), for ulcerative colitis the HR was 3.30 (95% CI, 1.98-5.53; P < 0.001), and for Crohn's disease the HR was 8.54 (95% CI, 5.74-12.70; P < 0.001). Patients with psoriasis had a 34% increased risk of a subsequent IBD diagnosis compared with the matched control patients (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.20-1.51; P < 0.001). We included 4043 patients with an incident EN diagnosis in the prediction model cohort, with 87 patients (2.2%) diagnosed with IBD within 3 years. The model had a bias-corrected c-statistic of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.78-0.86). CONCLUSIONS Patients with D-EIMs have a 6-fold increased risk of a later diagnosis of IBD. Younger age, smoking, low body mass index, anemia, and lower gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with an increased risk of diagnosis of IBD within 3 years in patients with EN.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are systemic diseases that manifest not only in the gut and gastrointestinal tract, but also in the extraintestinal organs in many patients. The quality of life for patients with IBD can be substantially affected by these extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). It is important to have knowledge of the prevalence, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of EIMs in order to adapt therapeutic options to cover all aspects of IBD. EIMs can occur in up to 24% of patients with IBD before the onset of intestinal symptoms, and need to be recognized to initiate appropriate diagnostic procedures. EIMs most frequently affect joints, skin, or eyes, but can also affect other organs, such as the liver, lung, and pancreas. It is a frequent misconception that a successful therapy of the intestinal inflammation will be sufficient to treat EIMs satisfactorily in most patients with IBD. In general, peripheral arthritis, oral aphthous ulcers, episcleritis, or erythema nodosum can be associated with active intestinal inflammation and can improve on standard treatment of the intestinal inflammation. However, anterior uveitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis usually occur independent of disease flares. This review provides a comprehensive overview of epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of EIMs in IBD.

Abstract
New data suggest that incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] are still increasing worldwide, and approximately 0.2% of the European population suffer from IBD at the present time. Medical therapy and disease management have evolved significantly in recent decades, with an emphasis on tight objective monitoring of disease progression and a treat-to-target approach in Europe and also worldwide, aiming to prevent early bowel damage and disability. Surgery rate declined over time in Europe, with 10-30% of CD and 5-10% of UC patients requiring a surgery within 5 years. The health economic burden associated with IBD is high in Europe. Direct health care costs [approximately €3500 in CD and €2000 in UC per patient per year] have shifted from hospitalisation and surgery towards drug-related expenditures with the increasing use of biologic therapy and other novel agents, and substantial indirect costs arise from work productivity loss [approximately €1900 per patient yearly]. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review of the burden of IBD in Europe by discussing current data on epidemiology, disease course, risk for surgery, hospitalisation, and mortality and cancer risks, as well as the economic aspects, patient disability, and work impairment, by discussing the latest population-based studies from the region.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) that tend to parallel intestinal activity and have a debilitating effect on the quality of life. EIMs primarily affect the joints, skin, and eyes with less frequent involvement of the liver, kidney, and pancreas. This article reviews the prevalence of musculoskeletal, dermatological, ocular, and other manifestations in IBD and their coalition with underlying intestinal inflammation. EIMs occurring independently of intestinal activity are managed by targeted therapies, categorical regimens, and specific treatments. On the other hand, EIMs paralleling the bowel activity are carefully monitored while the IBD is brought under control. Since the etiology of the disease is responsible for the development of the EIMs, the research scrutinizes the identified pathogenic mechanisms that tend to involve genetic susceptibility, aberrant self-recognition, and autoantibodies directed against organ-specific antigens shared by intestinal and extra-intestinal organs. This article also provides an overview of the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and management of the EIMs associated with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extra-intestinal manifestations [EIMs] are frequent in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] and are challenging conditions to manage. Tumour necrosis factor alpha antagonists [anti-TNFα] are recognised as the primary therapeutic option. We aimed to summarise evidence on the efficacy of ustekinumab for the treatment of EIMs. METHODS We searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, up to October 2020, all interventional and non-interventional studies published in English and assessing ustekinumab efficacy for the treatment of EIMs. RESULTS Nine studies [eight retrospective and one prospective] were included, enrolling a total of 254 patients with IBD and EIM. Ustekinumab showed its effectiveness for arthralgia and psoriatic arthritis in 152 patients through three high-quality studies. Conversely, no efficacy was found in axial spondyloarthritis. Psoriasis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and erythema nodosum were assessed in seven studies including 65 patients and showed high response rate to ustekinumab treatment. Promising results for aphthous stomatitis and uveitis were reported, but data were limited to 20 patients from two studies. CONCLUSIONS Ustekinumab showed to be an effective option for the treatment of EIMs, especially for dermatological and rheumatological manifestations. However, more data are needed to confirm the role of ustekinumab in this setting.

Abstract
Inflammation is a vital defense mechanism used to protect the body from invading pathogens, but dysregulation can lead to chronic inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Differences in microbiota composition have been observed in patients with inflammatory skin conditions compared with healthy individuals, particularly within lesions. There is also increasing evidence accumulating to support the notion that the microbiome contributes to the onset or modulates the severity of inflammatory diseases. Despite the known protective effects of orally administered lactic acid bacteria against inflammation, few studies have investigated the potential protective effects of topical application of bacteria on skin health and even fewer have looked at the potential anti-inflammatory effects of skin commensals. If lack of diversity and reduction in the abundance of specific commensal strains is observed in inflammatory skin lesions, and it is known that commensal bacteria can produce anti-inflammatory compounds, we suggest that certain members of the skin microbiota have anti-inflammatory properties that can be harnessed for use as topical therapeutics in inflammatory skin disorders.

Extraintestinal Manifestations in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Study Based on the ENEIDA Registry. Dig Dis Sci 2021; 66:2014-2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may present extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) that affect the joints, skin, eyes, and hepatobiliary area, among others. AIMS Our aim was to analyse the prevalence and characteristics of EIMs in patients with IBD and to identify the possible risk factors associated with the development of EIMs in the largest series published to date. METHODS Observational, cross-sectional study including patients from the Spanish ENEIDA registry promoted by GETECCU. We retrospectively identified all cases of EIMs in the ENEIDA registry until January 2018. RESULTS The study included 31,077 patients, 5779 of whom had at least one EIM (global prevalence 19%; 95% CI 18.2-19.0). Among the different types of EIMs, rheumatic manifestations had a prevalence of 13% (95% CI 12.9-13.7; 63% of EIMs), with a prevalence of 5% (95% CI 4.7-5.2) for mucocutaneous manifestations, 2.1% (95% CI 1.9-2.2) for ocular manifestations, and 0.7% (95% CI 0.6-0.8) for hepatobiliary manifestations. The multivariable analysis showed that the type of IBD (Crohn's disease, p < 0.001), gender (female, p < 0.001), the need for an immunomodulator (p < 0.001) or biologic drugs (p < 0.001), a previous family history of IBD (p < 0.001), and an extensive location of IBD (p < 0.001) were risk factors for the presence of EIMs. CONCLUSIONS One-fifth of patients with IBD may have associated EIMs, with rheumatic manifestations as the most frequent (> 60% of EIMs). Female patients with severe Crohn's disease represent the group with the highest risk of developing EIMs. These patients should therefore be specially monitored and referred to the corresponding specialist when suggestive symptoms appear.

Abstract
Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) are frequently observed in IBDs and contribute considerably to morbidity and mortality. They have long been considered a difficult to treat entity due to limited therapy options, but the increasing use of anti-tumour necrosis factors has dramatically changed the therapeutic approach to EIM in recent years. Newly emerging therapies such as JAK inhibitors and anti-interleukin 12/23 will further shape the available armamentarium. Clinicians dealing with EIMs in everyday IBD practice may be puzzled by the numerous available biological agents and small molecules, their efficacy for EIMs and their potential off-label indications. Current guidelines on EIMs in IBD do not include treatment algorithms to help practitioners in the treatment decision-making process. Herein, we summarise knowledge on emerging biological treatment options and small molecules for EIMs, highlight current research gaps, provide therapeutic algorithms for EIM management and shed light on future strategies in the context of IBD-related EIMs.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease can manifest in many extraintestinal organ systems. The most frequently involved extraintestinal locations include the mucocutaneous, hepatobiliary, and ocular organ systems. The respiratory tract is less commonly involved and is therefore frequently overlooked. Consequently, it is believed that involvement of the respiratory tract in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is underreported. The pathogenesis is thought to be multifactorial, involving the common embryologic origin shared by the respiratory and luminal digestive tract, molecular mimicry, and immunologic interactions leading to immune-complex deposition in affected tissue. The spectrum of manifestations of the respiratory tract related to inflammatory bowel disease is broad. It not only includes direct involvement of the respiratory tract (ie, airways, interstitium, and pleura) but also can result as a consequence of systemic involvement such as in thromboembolic events. In addition, it may also be related to other conditions that affect the respiratory tract such as sarcoidosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Though some conditions related to respiratory tract involvement might be subclinical, others may have life-threatening consequences. It is critical to approach patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease-related respiratory tract involvement in concert with pulmonology, infectious diseases, and any other pertinent experts, as treatments may require a multidisciplinary overlap of measures. Therefore, it is of paramount importance for the clinician to be aware of the array of respiratory tract manifestations of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, in addition to the possible spectrum of therapeutic measures.

Prevalence of axial spondyloarthritis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease using cross-sectional imaging: a systematic literature review. Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2021; 13:1759720X21996973. [PMID: 33786068 PMCID: PMC7958176 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x21996973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an excess burden of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which, if left untreated, may significantly impact on clinical outcomes. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of axSpA, including previously undiagnosed cases, in IBD patients from studies involving cross-sectional imaging and identify the IBD features potentially associated with axSpA. METHODS PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched systematically between 1990 and 2018. Article reference lists and key conference abstract lists from 2012 to 2018 were also reviewed. All abstracts were reviewed by two authors to determine eligibility for inclusion. The study inclusion criteria were (a) adults aged 18 years or above, (b) a clinical diagnosis of IBD and (c) reporting identification of sacroiliitis using cross-sectional imaging. RESULTS A total of 20 observational studies were identified: 12 used CT, 6 used MR and 2 utilised both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Sample sizes ranged from 25 to 1247 (a total of 4096 patients); 31 studies were considered to have low selection bias, 13 included two or more radiology readers, and 3 included rheumatological assessments. The prevalence of sacroiliitis, the most commonly reported axSpA feature, ranged from 2.2% to 68.0% with a pooled prevalence of 21.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 17-26%]. Associated IBD features include increasing IBD duration, increasing age, male sex, IBD location, inflammatory back pain and peripheral arthritis. No significant difference in the prevalence of sacroiliitis between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis was identified. Study limitations include variability in the individual study sample sizes and patient demographics. CONCLUSION This review highlights the need for larger, well-designed studies using more sensitive imaging modalities and multivariable modelling to better estimate the prevalence of axSpA in IBD. An improved knowledge of the IBD phenotype(s) associated with axSpA and use of cross-sectional imaging intended for IBD assessment to screen for axSpA may help clinicians identify those patients most at risk.

Abstract
Extraintestinal manifestations are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and optic neuritis (ON) is a rare but severe one. This study aimed to evaluate possible factors associated with ON in patients with IBD. Adult patients with IBD who were not with concomitant ON on the index date identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from the years 2000 to 2013 were included. A four-fold matched group was selected using age, sex and year of index date for comparison. All the patients were followed up until the development of ON or the end of the study period. Data of included patients were extracted and analyzed statistically. The mean follow-up time for all patients was 7.13 ± 5.21 years. At the study period conclusion, eight (0.18%) and five (0.003%) patients with and without IBD, respectively, had developed ON (p = 0.001). Adjusted HRs showed that patients with IBD aged between 30 and 39 years, with comorbidities including neuromyelitis optica (NMO), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and with a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index, had a significantly higher risk of developing ON (all p < 0.005). Among the eight IBD patients who developed ON, only one patient was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, the male gender was slightly dominant, and two (25%) patients received antitumor necrosis factor α (anti-TNF α) treatment for IBD. Patients with IBD have a higher risk of developing ON compared to patients without IBD. ON occurs more frequently in IBD patients aged between 30 and 39 years, with comorbidities including NMO, ADEM and SLE. Other factors besides anti-TNF α treatment for IBD are more likely associated with the development of ON.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Although inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) incidence has increased over the past two decades in Asia, data on extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of IBD in Asian patients are limited. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of EIMs in Asian IBD patients. METHODS In total, 1,764 patients (1,130 with ulcerative colitis [UC] and 634 with Crohn's disease [CD]) were recruited from 10 tertiary centers in Asia. The medical records of IBD patients were retrospectively reviewed for the presence, clinical characteristics, chronological order, and therapeutic management of EIMs. RESULTS EIMs were reported in 199 (11.3%) patients, of which 17 (1.0%) patients had multiple EIMs. EIMs were more prevalent in CD patients (P = 0.02). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that female sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-3.55), stricture (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.41-4.39) and female sex (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.52-4.34), extensive colitis (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.57-4.41) were associated with EIMs in CD and UC patients respectively. EIMs appeared in 8% of patients before IBD diagnosis; 95% of cases with EIM could be managed via first-line therapy. CONCLUSION EIM prevalence is lower among Asian IBD patients than among patients from Western countries; however, the risk factors for EIM were similar between both populations.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) may be associated with extra-intestinal manifestations. Among these, mucocutaneous manifestations are relatively frequent, often difficult to diagnose and treat, and may complicate the course of the underlying disease. In the present review, a summary of the most relevant literature on the dermatologic manifestations occurring in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases has been reviewed. The following dermatological manifestations associated with IBDs have been identified: (i) specific manifestations with the same histological features of the underlying IBD (occurring only in Crohn's disease); (ii) cutaneous disorders associated with IBDs (such as aphthous stomatitis, erythema nodosum, psoriasis, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita); (iii) reactive mucocutaneous manifestations of IBDs (such as pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet's syndrome, bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome, aseptic abscess ulcers, pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans, etc.); (iv) mucocutaneous conditions secondary to treatment (including injection site reactions, infusion reactions, paradoxical reactions, eczematous and psoriasis-like reactions, cutaneous infections, and cutaneous malignancies); (v) manifestations due to nutritional malabsorption (such as stomatitis, glossitis, angular cheilitis, pellagra, scurvy, purpura, acrodermatitis enteropathica, phrynoderma, seborrheic-type dermatitis, hair and nail abnormalities). An accurate dermatological examination is essential in all IBD patients, especially in candidates to biologic therapies, in whom drug-induced cutaneous reactions may assume marked clinical relevance.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The link between autoimmune gut disorders and different types of hair loss conditions has been recently investigated with an increased interest. With acknowledgement of the connection between immune dysregulation and the gut microbiome, this pathway is now becoming recognized as playing an important role in hair growth. The inflammatory cascade that results from the disruption of gut integrity such as seen in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has been associated with certain types of alopecia. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to evaluate the association between alopecia and IBD. EVIDENCE REVIEW A primary literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify articles on co-occurring alopecia and IBD from 1967 to 2020. A total of 79 studies were included in the review. A one-way proportional meta-analysis was performed on 19 of the studies to generate the pooled prevalence of alopecia and IBD. FINDING The pooled prevalence of non-scarring alopecia among IBD patients was 1.12% (k = 7, I2 = 98.6%, 95% CI 3.1-39.9); the prevalence of IBD among scarring and non-scarring alopecia was 1.99% (k = 12; I2 = 99%, 95% CI 6.2-34). The prevalence of non-scarring alopecia areata (AA) among IBD was compared to the prevalence of AA in the general population (0.63 vs. 0.1%; p < 0.0001). Similarly, the prevalence of IBD among the scarring and non-scarring alopecia groups was compared to the prevalence of IBD in the general population (1.99 vs. 0.396%; p = 0.0004). CONCLUSION IBD and alopecia, particularly AA, appear to be strongly associated. Dermatology patients with alopecia may benefit from screening for IBD.

Abstract
In Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, inflammation is not limited to the digestive tract. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs), which affect up to 50% of patients, can substantially impair quality of life. EIMs may parallel luminal disease activity or have an independent course. They most commonly involve the musculoskeletal system (e.g., peripheral or axial arthritis) and skin (e.g., erythema nodosum and pyoderma gangrenosum). Less commonly, the hepatobiliary tract (e.g., primary sclerosing cholangitis [PSC]) and the eye (e.g., episcleritis, scleritis, and uveitis) are involved. Although the pathophysiology of EIMs is poorly understood, they are likely either manifestations of a primary systemic immune disease with variable expression amongst organs, or secondary phenomena to bowel inflammation. Additional pathophysiologic mechanisms may include aberrant lymphocyte homing mediated by ectopic expression of gut-specific chemokines and adhesion molecules, cross-reactivity between microbial and self-antigens, autoantibodies against epitopes shared by the intestine and extraintestinal tissues, elevated serum concentrations of cytokines, and alterations in innate immunity. Many EIMs independent of intestinal disease activity can be successfully treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists. The efficacy of vedolizumab-a monoclonal antibody targeting the α4β7 integrin-for the treatment of EIMs is uncertain, but data are emerging from post hoc analyses of randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, and case series. Vedolizumab may be effective in treating EIMs related to luminal disease activity (e.g., type 1 peripheral arthritis and erythema nodosum) but has not shown biochemical improvement in PSC. Its postulated role in the development of de novo EIMs is heavily confounded by the high proportion of patients previously exposed to TNF antagonists; new EIMs could result from TNF antagonist treatment cessation rather than being caused by vedolizumab. A common limitation of clinical studies is the lack of multidisciplinary involvement in the diagnosis and monitoring of EIMs, which may lead to misdiagnosis and overreporting. Future studies should rigorously measure EIMs in parallel with objective measures of luminal disease activity to provide more robust data on the relative efficacy of new drugs, especially as increasing numbers of gut-selective compounds enter clinical development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concomitant ulcerative colitis (UC) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a rare phenomenon. The management of UC with ITP can be challenging, since a decreased platelet count augments UC.
CASE SUMMARY A 24-year-old man with UC and steroid-resistant ITP experienced UC flare. Although continuous infusion of cyclosporine was initiated, UC did not improve. The administration of tofacitinib subsequently led to the induction of remission. The patient has maintained remission of UC and ITP for over one year on tofacitinib treatment. Whole transcriptomic sequencing was performed for inflamed rectal mucosae obtained before and after the initiation of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, suggesting that distinct molecular signatures seemed to be regulated by JAK inhibitors and other conventional therapies including tumor necrosis factor lockers.
CONCLUSION Tofacitinib should be considered in refractory cases of UC with ITP.

Abstract
Background and Aim Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease that can develop extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in a subgroup of patients. The aim of this work was to study the frequency and clinical factors associated with the development of EIMs. Methods We evaluated a total of 260 Mexican patients with confirmed UC who were followed retrospectively in order to identify the factors associated with the presence of EIMs. Results The frequency of EIM was 55.8%. The factors associated with the development of EIM were pancolitis (p = 0.003, OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.34-4.56) and previous colectomy (p = 0.024, OR = 7.54, 95% CI = 1.20-60.44). A clinical course of initial activity and then long remission for >5 years was found to be a protective factor (p = 0.002, OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.14-0.67). Conclusion The frequency of EIM was 55.8% in our population, and the factors associated with their development were pancolitis and colectomy; meanwhile, a clinical course of initial activity and then long remission was a protector feature.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing remitting autoimmune disease including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD is associated with various extra-intestinal manifestations including oral manifestation. To date, only limited studies addressing the characteristics of the oral manifestations are available. The aim of the present review is to report the oral manifestations and their characteristics in IBD. A Medline/PubMed and Embase databases search were conducted and all relevant studies were extracted and analyzed. Overall, the oral manifestations in IBD were mostly associated with Crohn's disease rather than Ulcerative colitis where their prevalence ranged from 8 to 50%. Specific lesions for Crohn's disease include mucosal tags, cobblestoning and deep linear ulcerations with vertical fissures, while for ulcerative colitis, pyostomatisis vegetans was more disease specific. Notably, most of the oral manifestations were unrelated to disease activity, however more data are needed to accurately assess this correlation. Oral manifestations among IBD patients are not uncommon as Crohn's disease account for most of them. More data are warranted to precisely characterize their prevalence and association to intestinal activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic immune-mediated diseases that present a relapsing and remitting course and requires long-term treatment. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy has changed the management of the disease by reducing the need for hospitalizations, surgeries and improving patient´s quality of life. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to discuss the role of anti-TNF agents in IBD, highlighting the situations where its use as first-line therapy would be appropriate. METHODS Narrative review summarizing the best available evidence on the topic based on searches in databases such as MedLine and PubMed up to April 2020 using the following keywords: "inflammatory bowel disease'', "anti-TNF agents" and ''biologic therapy''. CONCLUSION Biological therapy remains the cornerstone in the treatment of IBD. In the absence of head-to-head comparisons, the choice of the biological agent may be challenging and should take into account several variables. Anti-TNF agents should be considered as first line therapy in specific scenarios such as acute severe ulcerative colitis, fistulizing Crohn's disease and extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD, given the strong body of evidence supporting its efficacy and safety in these situations.

Abstract
Background Joint damage is the most frequent extraintestinal manifestation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aims The aim of the study was to assess the value of low back pain (LBP) associated with sacroiliitis on abdominal imaging for the diagnosis of spondyloarthritis (SpA) in IBD. Methods We used a questionnaire assessing rheumatological symptoms for all patients with abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE). Sacroiliitis was assessed on available CT and MRE. Patients were classified as axial SpA according to the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society criteria. Results Fifty-one patients completed the questionnaire and performed both exams. LBP was present in 27 patients (52.9%), and 10 (19.6%) had an inflammatory component. Sacroiliitis was reported in 12 patients (23.5%), and 6 of them suffered from LBP. Among the 20 patients referred to the rheumatologist, 11 patients suffered from LBP. One patient was HLA-B27 positive and presented sacroiliitis. For the last 10 patients, none of them had a sacroiliitis, and 2 patients were negative for HLA-B27. Conclusion An axial SpA has been diagnosed in 11.8% of IBD patients undergoing cross-sectional imaging, whereas one-fifth had inflammatory LBP, and sacroiliitis was observed in one-quarter of them. To optimize the diagnosis of axial SpA, HLA-B27 testing might be required for patients with both IBD and LBP, but this will require further investigation before its implementation in routine practice.

Abstract
Background and Aims: The Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs), Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), are gastrointestinal autoimmune disorders with many Extraintestinal Manifestations (EIMs). Previously reported incidences of EIMs in IBD patients have ranged from 10% to 50%. The large variation in occurrence of EIMs has been linked to genetic predisposition. Correlations between individual EIMs are unclear. Therefore, we aim to estimate the incidence of EIMs in a Middle Eastern cohort of patients with IBD and examine possible relationships with EIMs. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving all patients included in the King Abdulaziz University IBD information system registry between 2013 and 2018. Data on demographics, disease characteristics, and EIMs were extracted and analyzed using descriptive statistics: the standard Student’s t-test and chi-squared test. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine associations using STATA software version 11.2 (StataCorp, TX, USA). Results: We reviewed the electronic medical files of 284 patients with confirmed IBD, of which 158 (55.6%) were females, the mean age was 27.8 (±15) years; 146 (51.4%) patients had CD and 138 (48.6%) UC. The overall incidence risk of EIMs was 138 (52.3%) over a mean duration of follow up of 7.3 (±3.9) years. The most common EIM was arthritis (33%), followed by aphthous ulcers (16%). Pyoderma gangrenosum occurred in 8% of patients and appeared to be specific for CD patients (p = 0.002), whereas Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) was more specific for UC (p = 0.001). Certain EIMs appeared to occur together such as arthritis with PSC (p = 0.001). Regression analysis identified disease type (in favor of UC; odds ratio = 0.50, p = 0.03) and age at the time of diagnosis (odds ratio = 1.04, p = 0.001) as the only significant predictors of EIMs. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that more than half of IBD patients have at least one EIM. Contrary to what has often been reported, we found that EIMs occur more commonly in UC than CD. A multidisciplinary assessment is recommended as part of IBD management to improve overall health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon but severe extra-intestinal manifestation (EIM) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The incidence and risk factors for PG are disputed. AIMS To assess the incidence of PG and identify factors associated with PG in IBD patients. METHODS A search of electronic databases (Ovid and PubMed) was conducted between 1966 and 2019. Studies that calculated the incidence of PG in IBD patient cohorts were included. Patient demographics, IBD subtype, and EIM presence were recorded. A review of our institutional database of 1057 IBD patients was conducted. A multivariate regression model and meta-analysis were conducted to identify risk factors for PG. A random effects model was used to combine the data of included studies. RESULTS Fourteen studies were included in addition to 1057 IBD patients and 26 PG cases from the Louisville cohort. In total, there were 379 cases of PG in the cumulative cohort of 61,695 IBD patients. The PG incidence in individual studies ranged from 0.4 to 2.6%. In the institutional cohort, ocular EIMs and a permanent stoma were significant risk factors for PG. In the meta-analysis, PG was associated with female gender (RR = 1.328, 95% CI 1.161-1.520), Crohn's disease (RR = 1.193, 95% CI 1.001-1.422), erythema nodosum (RR = 9.281, 95% CI 6.081-14.164), and ocular EIM (RR = 4.55, 95% CI 3.04-6.81). There was study heterogeneity when assessing IBD subtype, ocular, and joint EIMs. CONCLUSIONS There are conflicting data on the incidence and risk factors for PG. This meta-analysis confirms an association between PG and female gender, Crohn's disease, erythema nodosum, and ocular EIM that have been described in smaller studies.
