Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent or refractory Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection (RCDI) in the short term. However, there are a paucity of data on long-term durability and safety of FMT. The aim of this study is to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of FMT for RCDI. Ninety-four patients underwent FMT via retention enema for RCDI between 2008 and 2012 and completed a follow-up questionnaire 4 to 8 years following the last FMT. Of these, 32 were unreachable and 37 were deceased; 23 of the remaining 25 participants completed the survey. No CDI recurrences were reported in patients treated with FMT; 12 of the 23 participants (52.2%) received at least one course of non-CDI antibiotic(s). Nine participants (40.9%) received probiotics and 4 (17.4%) received both non-CDI antibiotics and probiotics. All 23 participants rated their overall health compared with pre-FMT. Current health was considered "much better" in 17 patients (73.9%); "somewhat better" in 3 patients (13.0%); and "about the same" in 3 patients (13.0%). A total of 11 participants (47.8%) reported an increase in weight of more than 5 kg (kg) post-FMT and 9 participants (39.1%) reported no change in weight (± 5 kg). Four of the 23 participants (17.4%) reported improvement or resolution (undifferentiated colitis, n = 1; Crohn's disease, n = 2; ulcerative colitis, n = 1) of pre-existing gastrointestinal condition following FMT. Eight of 23 participants (34.8%) experienced new medical condition(s) post-FMT. The long-term efficacy (48-96 months) of FMT for RCDI appears to be durable even after non-CDI antibiotic use. Thirty percent had improvement of their pre-existing medical conditions following FMT; 73.9% reported "much better" overall health following FMT.
粪便微生物移植(FMT)是治疗复发性或难治性艰难梭菌(梭状芽孢杆菌)感染(RCDI)的一种安全有效的短期治疗方法。然而,关于 FMT 的长期耐久性和安全性的数据很少。本研究旨在确定 FMT 治疗 RCDI 的长期疗效和安全性。94 例患者于 2008 年至 2012 年因 RCDI 接受保留灌肠 FMT,并在最后一次 FMT 后 4 至 8 年完成随访问卷。其中 32 例无法联系,37 例死亡;25 名剩余参与者中的 23 名完成了调查。接受 FMT 治疗的患者均未报告 CDI 复发;23 名参与者中的 12 名(52.2%)接受了至少一次非 CDI 抗生素治疗。9 名参与者(40.9%)接受了益生菌治疗,4 名(17.4%)接受了非 CDI 抗生素和益生菌治疗。所有 23 名参与者均对治疗前和治疗后的整体健康状况进行了评分。17 名患者(73.9%)认为目前的健康状况“好得多”;3 名患者(13.0%)认为“好一些”;3 名患者(13.0%)认为“差不多”。共有 11 名患者(47.8%)报告 FMT 后体重增加超过 5 公斤(kg),9 名患者(39.1%)报告体重无变化(±5kg)。23 名参与者中有 4 名(17.4%)报告 FMT 后原有胃肠道疾病(未分化结肠炎,n=1;克罗恩病,n=2;溃疡性结肠炎,n=1)改善或缓解。23 名参与者中有 8 名(34.8%)在 FMT 后出现新的医疗状况。FMT 治疗 RCDI 的长期疗效(48-96 个月)似乎是持久的,即使在使用非 CDI 抗生素后也是如此。30%的患者在 FMT 后原有疾病得到改善;73.9%的患者在 FMT 后报告整体健康状况“好得多”。
