Abstract
Background and Aims: The management of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases in youth is challenging. We aimed to determine health literacy (HL), quality of life (QoL) and clinical outcomes in young adults from the BELgian CROhn's disease registry (BELCRO) in comparison to type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) as a control. Methods: In this prospective and observational study, young adults with Crohn's disease (CD) diagnosed < 18 years and with > 5 years disease duration and a comparable group of patients with DM completed validated HL, QoL and work productivity and activity impairment questionnaires (HLS-EU-Q16, EQ-5D-5L and WPAI). HL was scored as sufficient (13-16), problematic (9-12) or inadequate (0-8). QoL was dichotomized into "no problems" (EQ-5D level 1) or "problems" (EQ-5D levels 2 to 5). Non-parametric (Mann-Whitney U) analyses and Spearman correlations were performed. Results: A total of 52 CD (median [IQR] age of 25.0 [23.8-27.0], 64% male) and 50 DM (age 20.0 [19.0-22.0], 50% male) patients were included. HL was 14.0 [11.0-16.0] for CD and 14.0 [11.3-14.8] for DM (p = 0.6) with similar proportions of sufficient (60 vs. 68%, p = 0.4), problematic (34 vs. 26%, p = 0.3) and inadequate HL (both 6%, p = 1). Although QoL was comparable for CD and DM (77.0 [68.8-82.0] vs. 75.0 [65.0-80.0] %, p =0.4), CD had a trend for higher pain/discomfort (50 vs. 32%, p = 0.06). HL and QoL correlated in CD (r = 0.6, p < 0.001) and DM patients (r = 0.6, p < 0.001). Fewer CD patients with recent hospitalization/surgery had sufficient HL (31 vs. 69%, p = 0.01) and had lower QoL (70.0 [60.0-77.0] vs. 80.0 [70.0-85.0], p = 0.04) compared to those without. Conclusions: Selected young Belgian adults suffering from CD for >5 years have similar and sufficient HL compared to DM patients. However, CD patients requiring hospitalization/surgery have lower HL, which indicates the need for targeted educational programs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The long-term safety of exposure to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNFα) drugs during pregnancy has received little attention. We aimed to compare the relative risk of severe infections in children of mothers with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who were exposed to anti-TNFα drugs in utero with that of children who were not exposed to the drugs. METHODS Retrospective multicenter cohort study. Exposed cohort: children from mothers with IBD receiving anti-TNFα medication (with or without thiopurines) at any time during pregnancy or during the 3 months before conception. Non-exposed cohort: children from mothers with IBD not treated with anti-TNFα agents or thiopurines at any time during pregnancy or the 3 months before conception. The cumulative incidence of severe infections after birth was estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves, which were compared using the log-rank test. Cox-regression analysis was performed to identify potential predictive factors for severe infections in the offspring. RESULTS The study population comprised 841 children, of whom 388 (46%) had been exposed to anti-TNFα agents. Median follow-up after delivery was 47 months in the exposed group and 68 months in the non-exposed group. Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed the incidence rate of severe infections to be similar in non-exposed and exposed children (1.6% vs. 2.8% per person-year, hazard ratio 1.2 (95% confidence interval 0.8-1.8)). In the multivariate analysis, preterm delivery was the only variable associated with a higher risk of severe infection (2.5% (1.5-4.3)). CONCLUSIONS In utero exposure to anti-TNFα drugs does not seem to be associated with increased short-term or long-term risk of severe infections in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about serum galactomannan (GM) testing in (mostly non-neutropenic) mixed intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of this study was to look for the incidence of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in critically ill patients, to validate previously reported GM thresholds, and to evaluate the prognostic value of GM. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 474 GM samples in 160 patients from the start of January 2003 until the start of February 2004. GM tests were ordered because of a clinical suspicion of IA or on a regular basis in immune compromised patients. The number of samples per patient was 3 ± 2.6. We used the criteria of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) to define proven IA, probable IA, and possible IA. The number of positive samples, with GM optical density (OD) > 0.5 was 230 (48.5%). RESULTS In our study population, five (3%) patients had proven IA, 11 (7%) had probable, 27 (17.5%) had possible, and 116 (72.5%) had no IA. We could not identify a GM threshold for IA with analysis of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves: with a sensitivity of (56.3%, 50%, 50%, 37.5%), specificity (38.2%, 67.5%, 68.8%, 72.9%), NPV (88.7%, 91.8%, 92.5%, 91.3%) and PPV (9.2%, 12.9%, 15.1%, 13.3%) for a cut-off of OD > 0.5, > 0.8, > 1.1 and > 1.5 respectively. IA was associated with high mortality of 87.5% and 100% in patients with probable and proven IA respectively. Patients with IA had a significant increase of GM during their stay (GMdelta 0.7 ± 1.5 vs -0.2 ± 1.5, P = 0.027). The overall ICU mortality was 41.9% and the hospital mortality was 58.1%. Patients who died in the ICU and in the hospital had higher APACHE- -II, SAPS-II and SOFA scores (P < 0.0001) and also a significant increase in GM during their stay with 0.27 ± 1.26 (ICU non-survivors) and 0.11 ± 1.55 (hospital non-survivors) compared to a decrease in GM -0.43 ± 1.7 (P = 0.004) and -0.48 ± 1.51 (P = 0.017) in ICU and hospital survivors respectively. Non-survivors also had higher mean GM values but this was not statistically significant. There was a trend towards higher GM values in patients treated with piperacillin/tazobactam (n = 34), but this did not reach statistical significance. Neutropenic patients (n = 31) showed an increase in GM during their stay 0.32 ± 1.3 vs a decrease with -0.43 ± 1.7 in non-neutropenic patients (P = 0.07). Patients on total parenteral nutrition (n = 125) had higher maximal GM levels (1.55 ± 1.94 vs 0.88 ± 1.25, P = 0.058). Patients who were mechanically ventilated had significantly higher mean (P = 0.038) and maximal (P = 0.007) GM levels. CONCLUSIONS We found a high incidence of proven and probable IA in a group of mixed ICU patients (10%) and the presence of IA was associated with a high mortality. The serum GM antigen detection test may not be useful in the diagnosis of IA in mixed ICU patients, according to the results of the ROC analysis. We could not define a useful threshold.
