Types, behaviour and therapeutic requirements of inflammatory pouch disorders: Results from the RESERVO study of GETECCU.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Inflammatory pouch disorders exhibit a heterogeneous clinical spectrum and therapeutic requirements have not been properly studied.

METHODS

This retrospective, multicentre study included ulcerative colitis patients with ileal pouch construction and were later diagnosed with an inflammatory pouch disorder between 1995 and 2020. Classifications, behaviour and therapies applied were recorded and compared in the long-term.

RESULTS

Overall, 338 patients were recruited. The most common disorders were pouchitis (n = 258, 76%), Crohn's disease of the pouch (n = 55, 16%) and cuffitis (n = 25, 7%). Pouchitis presented mainly as chronic (65.2%) and recurrent (87%) forms. Crohn's disease manifested as stricturing/penetrating in 53% of cases and perianal disease in 42%. Patients received multiple therapies: 86% antibiotics, 42% steroids, 27% immunosuppressants, 43% biologics and 27% surgery. Compared with pouchitis, Crohn's disease of the pouch was characterised by a later diagnosis (99 vs. 55 months, p < 0.001) and greater needs for immunosuppressants (OR 3.53, 1.79-6.94, p < 0.0001), biologics (OR 5.45, 2.78-10.6, p < 0.0001) and surgeries (OR 2.65, 1.43-4.89, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Chronic pouchitis is the most common pouch disorder presentation. These entities have diverse therapeutics requirements, particularly for Crohn's disease of the pouch.
