Observational Study
Clinical aspects and prognosis of patients with inflammatory bowel disease associated with autoimmune liver diseases.
Gastroenterología y Hepatología 2022 Februrary
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions that may be accompanied by autoimmune liver disease (AILD), most commonly primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the behaviour of patients with IBD associated with AILD and compare a PSC group with a non-PSC group.
METHODS: Medical records of patients with IBD associated with PSC, autoimmune cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis, small-duct PSC, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and overlapping syndromes were assessed.
RESULTS: Fifty-four patients were included: 48 (88.9%) had ulcerative colitis and six (11.1%) had Crohn's disease; 35 (64.8%) had PSC and 19 (35.2%) did not have PSC. There was no difference in outcomes (surgical treatment for IBD, liver transplantation or death) between the groups. Time since the diagnosis of IBD was associated with surgical treatment of IBD (p=0.041; OR: 1.139, 95% CI: 1.006-1.255). Time since the diagnosis of AILD (p=0.003; OR: 1.259, 95% CI: 1.1-1.396), as well as portal hypertension at diagnosis (p=0.014; OR: 18.22, 95% CI: 1.815-182.96), were associated with liver transplantation. In addition, previous diagnosis of AIH was associated with de novo IBD (p=0.012; OR: 7.1, 95% CI: 1.215-42.43).
CONCLUSION: Both groups had similar disease behaviour. A longer time since the diagnosis of IBD increased the risk for surgical treatment (13.9%/year). A 25.9%/year increase in liver transplantation was observed after the diagnosis of AILD, which was increased 18.22 times by the presence of portal hypertension. In addition, the diagnosis of AIH was associated with an increase in the number of diagnoses of de novo IBD (7.1).
