Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are at increased risk of co-occurring immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). As discrepancy exists regarding the phenotypic presentation of CD among patients with such co-occurring IMIDs, we aimed to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis characterizing the phenotype of CD among this subgroup of patients.
, , and were searched from their earliest records to October 2019 for studies reporting the behavior and localization of CD according to the Vienna or Montreal Classifications and CD-related surgery in patients with co-occurring IMIDs. These studies were the subject of a random effect meta-analysis.
After reviewing 24,413 studies, we identified a total of 23 studies comprising 1572 and 35,043 CD patients with and without co-occurring IMIDs, respectively, that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Overall, patients with co-occurring IMIDs were more likely to have upper gastrointestinal inflammation than were patients without co-occurring IMIDs [relative risk (RR) = 1.49 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09-2.04), = 0.01, = 7%]. In addition, presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) was associated with a lower occurrence of ileal affection [RR = 0.44 (95% CI 0.24-0.81), < 0.01, = 32%], increased occurrence of colonic affection [RR = 1.78 (95% CI 1.33-2.38), < 0.01, = 32%] and an increased likelihood of non-stricturing and non-penetrating behavior [RR = 1.43 (95% CI 0.97-2.11), = 0.07, = 86%]. The latter reached significance when cumulating different IMIDs [RR = 1.30 (95% CI 1.09-1.55), < 0.01, = 88%]. CD patients with PSC also underwent fewer CD-related surgeries [RR = 0.55 (95% CI 0.34-0.88), = 0.01, = 0%], irrespective of CD location or behavior.
This study emphasizes that CD patients with co-existing PSC are likely to have a unique inflammatory distribution primarily confined to the colon, while patients with IMIDs in general have higher likelihood of affection of upper gastrointestinal tract and a non-stricturing and non-penetrating behavior. As such a phenotype of CD is typically associated with a milder disease course; future studies are needed to confirm these results.
克罗恩病(CD)患者并发免疫介导性炎症性疾病(IMIDs)的风险增加。由于在患有此类并发IMIDs的患者中,CD的表型呈现存在差异,我们旨在进行一项系统评价和荟萃分析,以描述该亚组患者中CD的表型特征。
检索了 、 和 ,从其最早记录至 2019 年 10 月,以查找报告根据维也纳或蒙特利尔分类法确定的 CD 行为和定位以及并发 IMIDs 患者的 CD 相关手术的研究。这些研究是随机效应荟萃分析的对象。
在审查了 24413 项研究后,我们共确定了 23 项研究,分别包括 1572 例并发 IMIDs 的 CD 患者和 35043 例未并发 IMIDs 的 CD 患者,这些研究符合我们的纳入标准。总体而言,并发 IMIDs 的患者比未并发 IMIDs 的患者更有可能出现上消化道炎症[相对风险(RR)=1.49(95%置信区间(CI)1.09 - 2.04),P = 0.01,I² = 7%]。此外,原发性硬化性胆管炎(PSC)的存在与回肠受累发生率较低相关[RR = 0.44(95%CI 0.24 - 0.81),P < 0.01,I² = 32%],结肠受累发生率增加[RR = 1.78(95%CI 1.33 - 2.38),P < 0.01,I² = 32%]以及非狭窄和非穿透性行为的可能性增加[RR = 1.43(95%CI 0.97 - 2.11),P = 0.07,I² = 86%]。当累积不同的 IMIDs 时,后者具有统计学意义[RR = 1.30(95%CI 1.09 - 1.55),P < 0.01,I² = 88%]。患有 PSC 的 CD 患者也较少接受 CD 相关手术[RR = 0.55(95%CI 0.34 - 0.88),P = 0.01,I² = 0%],无论 CD 的位置或行为如何。
本研究强调,合并 PSC 的 CD 患者可能具有主要局限于结肠的独特炎症分布,而一般患有 IMIDs 的患者上消化道受累以及非狭窄和非穿透性行为的可能性更高。由于这种 CD 表型通常与较轻的病程相关;未来需要进一步研究来证实这些结果。
