Clinical remission is the recommended treatment target in ulcerative colitis. The predictors and outcomes of achieving histologic remission within a treat-to-target paradigm are not well established.
To evaluate the predictors and outcomes of achieving histologic remission in patients with ulcerative colitis treated-to-target of endoscopic healing (modified Mayo endoscopy score 0 or 1).
We conducted a retrospective cohort study in adults with active ulcerative colitis (modified Mayo endoscopy score 2 or 3), whose treatment was iteratively optimised to achieve endoscopic healing. We identified predictors of achieving histologic remission, and outcomes (risk of symptomatic relapse, and ulcerative colitis-related hospitalisation and/or surgery) of achieving histologic remission vs persistent histologic activity, using Cox proportional hazard analysis.
Of the 411 patients with clinically active ulcerative colitis, 270 achieved endoscopic healing. Of the 270 patients, 55% simultaneously achieved histologic remission. Depth of endoscopic healing at final endoscopic assessment was the only independent determinant of histologic remission (modified Mayo endoscopy score 0 vs 1: odds ratio, 0.31 [95% confidence intervals, 0.18-0.52]). Over 28 months, achieving histologic remission was associated with a lower risk of clinical relapse (1-year cumulative risk: 18.7% vs 29.5%; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.56 [0.37-0.85]), and lower risk of hospitalisation (hazard ratio, 0.44 [0.20-0.94]). The incremental benefit of achieving histologic remission was observed only in patients achieving Mayo endoscopy score 1, but not Mayo endoscopy score 0.
In patients with active ulcerative colitis treated-to-target of endoscopic healing, 55% simultaneously achieved histologic remission. Histologic remission, particularly in patients achieving modified Mayo endoscopy score 1, was associated with favourable outcomes. Treating to a target of histologic remission over endoscopic healing requires prospective evaluation.
临床缓解是溃疡性结肠炎的推荐治疗目标。在靶向治疗的背景下,实现组织学缓解的预测因素和结果尚不清楚。
评估接受靶向内镜愈合(改良 Mayo 内镜评分 0 或 1)治疗的溃疡性结肠炎患者达到组织学缓解的预测因素和结果。
我们对患有活动性溃疡性结肠炎(改良 Mayo 内镜评分 2 或 3)的成年人进行了一项回顾性队列研究,他们的治疗被反复优化以达到内镜愈合。我们确定了实现组织学缓解的预测因素,以及实现组织学缓解与持续组织学活动的结果(症状性复发的风险,以及溃疡性结肠炎相关的住院和/或手术),使用 Cox 比例风险分析。
在 411 例有临床活动性溃疡性结肠炎的患者中,270 例达到了内镜愈合。在 270 例患者中,55%同时达到了组织学缓解。最终内镜评估时的内镜愈合深度是组织学缓解的唯一独立决定因素(改良 Mayo 内镜评分 0 与 1:优势比,0.31 [95%置信区间,0.18-0.52])。在 28 个月的时间里,达到组织学缓解与较低的临床复发风险相关(1 年累积风险:18.7%与 29.5%;调整后的危险比,0.56 [0.37-0.85]),以及较低的住院风险(危险比,0.44 [0.20-0.94])。达到组织学缓解的增量获益仅在达到改良 Mayo 内镜评分 1 的患者中观察到,而在达到改良 Mayo 内镜评分 0 的患者中则没有观察到。
在接受靶向内镜愈合治疗的活动性溃疡性结肠炎患者中,55%同时达到了组织学缓解。组织学缓解,特别是在达到改良 Mayo 内镜评分 1 的患者中,与良好的结果相关。将治疗目标设定为组织学缓解而非内镜愈合需要前瞻性评估。
