Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial, chronic, progressive and recurrent disease considered a public health issue worldwide and an important determinant of disability and death. In Spain, its current prevalence in the adult population is about 24% and an estimated prevalence in 2035 of 37%. Obesity increases the probability of several diseases linked to higher mortality such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, several types of cancer, or obstructive sleep apnea. On the other hand, although the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is stabilizing in Western countries, its prevalence already exceeds 0.3%. Paralleling to general population, the current prevalence of obesity in adult patients with IBD is estimated at 15-40%. Obesity in patients with IBD could entail, in addition to its already known impact on disability and mortality, a worse evolution of the IBD itself and a worse response to treatments. The aim of this document, performed in collaboration by four scientific societies involved in the clinical care of severe obesity and IBD, is to establish clear and concise recommendations on the therapeutic possibilities of severe or typeIII obesity in patients with IBD. The document establishes general recommendations on dietary, pharmacological, endoscopic, and surgical treatment of severe obesity in patients with IBD, as well as pre- and post-treatment evaluation.

The impact of bariatric surgery on admissions for gastrointestinal complications and conditions associated with obesity: A nationwide study. World J Surg 2024; 48:175-185. [PMID: 38436211 DOI: 10.1002/wjs.12013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity worsens various gastrointestinal pathologies. While bariatric surgery ameliorates obesity, it substantially modifies the gastrointestinal system depending on surgery type, with limited data on subsequent impact on obesity-related gastrointestinal admissions. METHODS Using the 2012-2014 Nationwide Readmission Database, we included individuals with obesity who received vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), or hernia repair (HR-control surgery). Our main focus was the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for gastrointestinal inpatient admissions within 6 months following surgery compared to the 6 months preceding it, while controlling for several confounding factors. Gastrointestinal admissions were grouped into postoperative complications or obesity-associated gastrointestinal conditions. RESULTS Our cohort included 140,103 adults with RYGB, 132,253 with VSG, and 12,436 HR controls. Postoperative gastrointestinal complications were most common after RYGB, prominently obstruction (aOR = 33.17, 95%CI: 18.01, 61.10), and Clostridium difficile infection (aOR: 12.52, 95%CI: 6.22, 25.19). VSG also saw significantly increased but less frequent similar conditions. Notably, for gastrointestinal conditions associated with obesity, acute pancreatitis risk was higher post-VSG (aOR = 6.26, 95%CI: 4.02, 9.73). Post-RYGB patients were most likely to be admitted for cholelithiasis with cholecystitis (aOR: 4.15, 95% CI: 3.24, 5.31), followed by chronic liver disease (aOR: 3.00, 95% CI: 2.33, 3.87). The risk of noninfectious colitis admissions was threefold higher after RYGB and VSG. No gastrointestinal conditions showed an increase after HR. CONCLUSION Despite weight loss, bariatric surgery was associated with an increased risk of hepato-pancreatobiliary and colitis admissions related to obesity in the first six postoperative months, with considerable variations in rates of gastrointestinal conditions by surgery type.

Abstract
A large proportion of patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease are obese. Outcomes of bariatric surgery in patients with IBD and on IBD disease course itself is not clear. Furthermore, there is some evidence that bariatric surgery can precipitate the development of de-novo IBD. Thus, the aim of this systematic review was to summarise the evidence from the literature surrounding these questions. A comprehensive literature review was conducted based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines (PRISMA). PUBMED, and MEDLINE databases was searched using a combination of keywords and MeSH terms including "gastric bypass", "sleeve gastrectomy", "Roux-en-Y", "Duodenal switch", "RYGB", "bariatric surgery" and "inflammatory bowel disease", "Crohn's disease" ,"Ulcerative colitis". Studies published up to March 2020 were included in this analysis. 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies revealed that bariatric surgery is safe and effective for patients with IBD and resulted in significant weight loss at both the 6-month and 12-month time points. Furthermore, multiple studies reported de-novo IBD development following bariatric surgery in a selection of patients.

Abstract
Background Obesity affects over 40% of Americans. Bariatric surgery is an increasingly popular and well-studied method to achieve weight loss, improve metabolic homeostasis, and resolve obesity-related comorbid conditions. While the impact of bariatric surgery on weight loss and metabolic health has been extensively studied, there is an increasing body of literature characterizing the impact of bariatric surgery on gastrointestinal health and inflammation. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) leads to inflammation in both the small and large intestine, and leads to significant patient morbidity. Similar to obesity, the incidence of IBD is also rising. Patients with IBD and obesity may seek bariatric surgery. The impact of bariatric surgery on IBD is not well understood, but critical to understand for optimal patient care. Herein, we review the currently available literature on the impact of bariatric surgery on IBD including common trends, discrepancies in findings, and remaining knowledge gaps in need of further study. Methods A systematic review of the PubMed/MEDLINE database using PRISMA guidelines was performed. Results We identified 12 manuscripts discussing de novo IBD after bariatric surgery and 16 studying bariatric surgery in patients with pre-existing IBD. Overall, bariatric surgery appears to be safe in patients with pre-existing IBD but may increase the risk of developing de novo IBD. Conclusions Further research into optimal surgical approaches, patient selection, and mechanisms on how bariatric surgery impacts IBD is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this study was to examine the risk of new-onset inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] following bariatric surgery. METHODS We conducted a nationwide population-based prospective cohort study of the entire Danish population 18 to 60 years of age, alive, and residing in Denmark, from 1996 to 2018. Bariatric surgery was included as a time-dependent variable, and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios [HRs] of IBD. We used a model adjusting for age, sex, and birth cohort and a multifactor-adjusted model additionally including educational status and number of obesity-related comorbidities. RESULTS We followed 3 917 843 individuals of whom 15 347 had a bariatric surgery, for development of new-onset IBD. During 106 420 person-years following bariatric surgery, 100 IBD events occurred [incidence rate 0.940/1000 person-years]. During 55 553 785 person-years without bariatric surgery, 35 294 events of IBD occurred [incidence rate 0.635/1000 person-years]. This corresponded to a multifactor-adjusted hazard ratio [HR] of 1.15 (95% confidence interval[CI], 0.94-1.40) for IBD. Multifactor-adjusted HRs of Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] were 1.85 [95% CI, 1.40-2.44] and 0.81 [95% CI, 0.61-1.08], respectively. Among women, the multifactor-adjusted HR for CD was 2.18 [95% CI, 1.64-2.90]. When limiting the study population to individuals with a diagnosis of overweight/obesity, bariatric surgery remained associated with increased risk of CD, multifactor-adjusted HR 1.59 [95% CI, 1.18-2.13]. CONCLUSIONS This nationwide cohort study shows that bariatric surgery is associated with increased risk of development of new-onset CD, but not of UC. The underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The convoluted relationship between obesity, bariatric surgery and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is of increasing interest. AIM To analyse evidence regarding the role of bariatric surgery in the development of de novo IBD and its impact on clinical outcomes and safety in patients with established IBD. METHODS A PubMed/Medline search was performed to identify studies reporting the development of IBD after bariatric surgery and the outcomes of IBD patients after bariatric surgery. RESULTS Eighty patients were reported to have developed de novo IBD after bariatric surgery (21% ulcerative colitis [UC], 75% Crohn's disease [CD]), mostly females. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was the most frequent bariatric technique (80%). Symptoms related to IBD occurred within 1 month and 16 years after surgery. Regarding patients with known IBD undergoing bariatric surgery, 60 patients (35 CD, 24 UC, and 1 unclassified colitis) have been reported. Sleeve gastrectomy was the most frequent bariatric procedure, particularly in CD patients. Acute flares after surgery were observed in only four UC patients. In addition, two retrospective population-based studies described perioperative outcomes of bariatric surgery on IBD patients, demonstrating only a significant increase in small bowel obstruction in these patients. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery in carefully selected patients with established IBD is technically feasible and probably safe. Development of de novo IBD should be taken into account in individuals with previous bariatric surgery who develop diarrhoea, anaemia or excessive weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Case reports of inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] have been reported in patients with a history of bariatric surgery. Our aim was to characterize patients who were diagnosed with IBD after having undergone bariatric surgery. METHODS Electronic medical records were reviewed at two institutions to identify patients who developed de-novo Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis [UC] after bariatric surgery. Data on demographics, type of bariatric surgical procedure, IBD subtype, phenotype and medication usage were obtained. The incidence rate of de-novo IBD after bariatric surgery [per 100000 person-years] and standardized incidence ratio [SIR] were estimated from a prospective bariatric surgery database. RESULTS A total of 44 patients with de-novo IBD after bariatric surgery were identified [31 Crohn's disease, 12 UC, one IBD unclassified]. Most patients were female [88.6%], with median age at IBD onset of 44 years [IQR, 37-52] and median time to IBD diagnosis after bariatric surgery of 7 years [IQR, 3-10]. Sixty-eight per cent underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. In the prospective database, the incidence of IBD in patients who underwent bariatric surgery was 26.7 per 100000 person-years [4.5 for UC and 22.3 for Crohn's disease]. The age-adjusted SIR ranged from 3.56 in the 40-49 year age group to 4.73 in the 30-39 year age group. CONCLUSION We described a case series of patients developing de-novo IBD after bariatric surgery. There appears to be a numerically higher incidence of Crohn's disease in this population. Confirmation of causality is required in larger patient cohorts.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of morbid obesity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is on the rise in association with a Western lifestyle. Both conditions are characterized by chronic inflammation. Bariatric surgery (BS) is a recommended and widely used approach to address severe obesity and its related comorbidities. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are the most frequently performed procedures worldwide. Evidence is scarce on outcomes of BS in IBD patients. Summary Systemic and adipose-tissue inflammation seems to decrease following BS. Different studies observed decreased serum levels of inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, MCP-1, and TNF-α) along with a reduction of insulin resistance both after RYGBP and SG. Several authors documented postbariatric improvement of concomitant chronic inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, and psoriasis). There are only few retrospective case series on outcomes of BS in IBD patients. These studies reported safety and feasibility of BS and improvement in IBD status, manifested by prolonged disease remission and decreased use of pharmacotherapy. Weight loss outcomes were excellent and similar to those of non-IBD patients. The preferred surgical approach for morbidly obese IBD patients is SG in order to avoid potential drawbacks of RYGBP, such as malabsorption, intestinal manipulation, and augmentation of technical difficulties for future IBD surgery. Seven cases of newly diagnosed IBD after BS have been reported, which are more likely to result from postoperative intestinal microbial dysbiosis than from directly induced inflammation. Key Messages This review summarizes the outcomes of BS in IBD patients. SG is the preferable technique for morbidly obese IBD patients, who have potentially a double benefit from BS: weight loss and IBD remission. Further research is necessary to clarify the common pathophysiology of chronic inflammation in morbid obesity and in IBD. Postbariatric changes in gut microbiota should also be assessed to understand whether they promote IBD development or not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the development of atherosclerosis are increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one type of IBD; however, there is controversy in the literature regarding the association between UC and stroke. The present cohort study estimated the risk of subsequent stroke among UC patients compared with that among matched comparison subjects drawn from a population-based data set in Taiwan. METHODS This investigation analyzed administrative claims data sourced from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database. Our study consisted of a study cohort comprising 516 UC patients and a comparison cohort of 2,579 subjects without IBD. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to estimate the risk of subsequent stroke during the follow-up period. We also conducted additional analyses investigating the risk of subsequent stroke by age group and gender. RESULTS After adjusting for selected medical co-morbidities and recent prescriptions of selected pharmaceuticals, the hazard ratio (HR) for subsequent stroke among patients with UC was 2.045 (95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.374-3.043) than that among comparison subjects. While we did not detect an association between stroke and UC among patients aged 30-40 or 40-50 years, we did detect increased risks for stroke among UC patients aged over 50 years (HR = 2.045). We also found the association to remain significant for both men (HR = 2.153) and women (HR = 2.750). CONCLUSIONS This study detected an increased HR for subsequent stroke among Taiwanese UC patients hen compared to that among matched comparison patients without IBD.
