Chronic Antibiotic Dependent Pouchitis Is Associated With Older Age at the Time of Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis (J-pouch) Surgery
BACKGROUND: Risk factors for the development of chronic antibiotic dependent pouchitis (CADP) are not well understood. METHODS: Using multivariable logistic regression, we compared clinical factors between 194 patients with acute antibiotic responsive pouchitis or CADP. RESULTS: Individuals with CAD...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Risk factors for the development of chronic antibiotic dependent pouchitis (CADP) are not well understood. METHODS: Using multivariable logistic regression, we compared clinical factors between 194 patients with acute antibiotic responsive pouchitis or CADP. RESULTS: Individuals with CADP were significantly older (40.9 vs 30.8 years, P < 0.001) and demonstrated a longer disease duration before IPAA (10.3 vs 7.0 years, P = 0.004). Age ≥55 years at the time of IPAA was significantly associated with CADP (adjusted odds ratio = 4.35, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–18.7). CONCLUSIONS: Although older age should not represent a barrier to IPAA, further studies evaluating etiologies of this association are warranted. |
