Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Our understanding of the epidemiology of inflammatory conditions of the pouch and effectiveness of treatment is largely based on selected populations. We created a state-level registry to evaluate the incidence of pouchitis and the effectiveness of treatments used in an initial episode of pouchitis. METHODS: In a state-level retrospective cohort of all patients undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020, we evaluated the incidence of pouchitis and compared the proportion of patients developing recurrent pouchitis and chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis according to initial antibiotic therapy. RESULTS: A total of 177 patients underwent surgery with 49 (28%) developing pouchitis within the 12 months after the final stage of IPAA. Patients with extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were significantly more likely to develop pouchitis within the first 12 months after IPAA (adjusted odds ratio 2.45, 95% confidence interval 1.03–5.81) after adjusting for family history of IBD (adjusted odds ratio 3.50, 95% 1.50–8.18). When comparing the proportion of patients who developed recurrent pouchitis or chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis with those who experienced an isolated episode of pouchitis, there were no significant differences among the initial antibiotic regimens used. DISCUSSION: In a state-level examination of outcomes after IPAA for ulcerative colitis, patients with extraintestinal manifestations of IBD were more likely to develop pouchitis; however, the initial antibiotic regimen chosen did not seem to affect long-term outcomes.
