METHODS: A retrospective study conducted at two tertiary care centers in London, Ontario. Patients (≥18 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of IBD who underwent CT enterography (CTE) or MR enterography (MRE) between 1 Jan 2010 and 31 Dec 2018 were included. Categorical variables were reported as proportions and the mean and standard deviations were reported for continuous variables.
RESULTS: A total of 615 imaging tests (MRE: 67.3% [414/615]) were performed in 557 IBD patients (CD: 91.4% [509/557], UC: 8.6% [48/557]). 38.2% (213/557) of patients were male, with mean age of 45.6 years (±15.8), and median disease duration of 11.0 years (±12.5). Among patients with CD, 33.2% (169/509) had strictures, with 7.8% having two or more strictures and 66.3% considered inflammatory. A fistula was reported in 10.6% (54/509), the most common being perianal fistula (27.8% [15/54]), followed by enterocutaneous fistula (16.8% [9/54]), and enteroenteric fistula (16.8% [9/54]). Additionally, 7.4% (41/557) of patients with IBD were found to have an EIM on cross-sectional imaging, with the most prevalent EIM being cholelithiasis (63.4% [26/41]), followed by sacroiliitis (24.4% [10/41]), primary sclerosing cholangitis (4.8% [2/41]) and nephrolithiasis (4.8% [2/41]).
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 40% of patients with CD undergoing cross-sectional imaging had evidence of a stricture or fistulizing disease, with 7% of patients with IBD having a detectable EIM. These results highlight the burden of disease and the need for specific therapies for these disease phenotypes.
方法:在伦敦的两个三级护理中心进行的回顾性研究,安大略省。纳入在2010年1月1日至2018年12月31日期间接受CT小肠造影(CTE)或MR小肠造影(MRE)的确诊为IBD的患者(≥18岁)。分类变量报告为比例,并且报告连续变量的平均值和标准偏差。
结果:557例IBD患者共进行了615次影像学检查(MRE:67.3%[414/615])(CD:91.4%[509/557],UC:8.6%[48/557])。38.2%(213/557)的患者为男性,平均年龄45.6岁(±15.8),中位病程为11.0年(±12.5)。在CD患者中,33.2%(169/509)有狭窄,7.8%有两个或两个以上狭窄,66.3%认为是炎症。在10.6%(54/509)中报告了瘘管,最常见的是肛周瘘(27.8%[15/54]),其次是肠外瘘(16.8%[9/54]),肠瘘(16.8%[9/54])。此外,7.4%(41/557)的IBD患者在横断面成像上发现有EIM,最普遍的EIM是胆石症(63.4%[26/41]),其次是骶髂关节炎(24.4%[10/41]),原发性硬化性胆管炎(4.8%[2/41])和肾结石(4.8%[2/41])。
结论:大约40%接受横断面成像的CD患者有狭窄或造瘘的证据,7%的IBD患者具有可检测的EIM。这些结果突出了疾病的负担和对这些疾病表型的特定疗法的需要。
