As the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases in the elderly population, we sought to characterize IBD-related outcomes in this population.
We identified incident IBD cases in Ontario, Canada between 1999 and 2008 and categorized subjects by age at diagnosis as young adults (18-40 yr); middle-age adults (41-64 yr); and elderly (≥65 yr) from within population-based health administrative data. We determined the risk of IBD-related surgery and mortality in those with elderly-onset IBD compared with other age groups.
Of 21,218 persons with IBD, there were 1749 cases of elderly-onset ulcerative colitis (UC) and 725 cases elderly-onset Crohn's disease (CD). Elderly UC had higher rates of IBD-related surgery than those with young-adult UC (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.16-1.55), although there was no difference in surgical rates between age groups in CD. IBD-specific mortality was higher in elderly-onset CD (33.1/10,000 person-year) compared with that in middle-age CD (5.6/10,000 person-year, P < 0.0001) and young adult CD (1.0/10,000 person-year) but was not different by age in UC. The leading cause of death in elderly UC and CD was solid malignancies accounting for 22.9% and 26.4% of deaths, respectively, whereas IBD was third most frequent cause of death accounting for 6.3% and 9.1% of deaths, respectively.
Elderly-onset patients with UC were more likely to undergo surgery while elderly-onset patients with CD exhibited higher IBD-specific mortality than those with younger-onset disease. These findings should prompt more optimized disease management in elderly IBD.
随着老年人群中炎症性肠病(IBD)患病率的上升,我们试图描述该人群中与IBD相关的结局。
我们在加拿大安大略省确定了1999年至2008年期间的新发IBD病例,并根据基于人群的健康管理数据,将诊断时的年龄分为青年成人(18 - 40岁)、中年成人(41 - 64岁)和老年人(≥65岁)。我们确定了老年起病的IBD患者与其他年龄组相比,IBD相关手术和死亡的风险。
在21218例IBD患者中,有1749例老年起病的溃疡性结肠炎(UC)和725例老年起病的克罗恩病(CD)。老年UC患者IBD相关手术率高于青年成人UC患者(校正风险比,1.34;95%可信区间,1.16 - 1.55),尽管CD患者各年龄组之间手术率无差异。老年起病的CD患者IBD特异性死亡率(33.1/10000人年)高于中年CD患者(5.6/10000人年,P < 0.0001)和青年成人CD患者(1.0/10000人年),但UC患者的死亡率在各年龄组之间无差异。老年UC和CD患者的主要死亡原因是实体恶性肿瘤,分别占死亡人数的22.9%和26.4%,而IBD分别是第三常见的死亡原因,占死亡人数的6.3%和9.1%。
老年起病的UC患者更有可能接受手术,而老年起病的CD患者IBD特异性死亡率高于年轻起病的患者。这些发现应促使对老年IBD患者进行更优化的疾病管理。
