To determine the long term outcome of ulcerative colitis in patients treated with 6-MP.
The charts of 105 chronic refractory ulcerative colitis patients treated with 6-MP from 1973-1992 were reviewed. The focus was placed on clinical response, subsequent breakthrough while maintaining 6-MP, and relapse rates when 6-MP was discontinued.
Complete clinical remission was achieved in 68 patients (65%), partial remission was achieved in 25 patients (24%), and 12 patients (11%) failed to achieve remission. Of complete responders who continued 6-MP, 35% had a breakthrough, although complete remission was restored in 88% with the majority not requiring systemic steroids. Of complete responders who discontinued 6-MP, 87% subsequently relapsed. There were few major toxicities associated with 6-MP use.
6-MP is a reasonably safe and effective treatment for refractory ulcerative colitis. Patients who discontinue 6-MP after successful treatment have high relapse rates, therefore, 6-MP must be maintained long term to sustain remission.
确定接受6-巯基嘌呤(6-MP)治疗的溃疡性结肠炎患者的长期预后。
回顾了1973年至1992年期间接受6-MP治疗的105例慢性难治性溃疡性结肠炎患者的病历。重点关注临床反应、维持6-MP治疗期间的后续病情恶化情况以及停用6-MP后的复发率。
68例患者(65%)实现了完全临床缓解,25例患者(24%)实现了部分缓解,12例患者(11%)未实现缓解。在继续使用6-MP的完全缓解者中,35%出现了病情恶化,尽管88%的患者恢复了完全缓解,且大多数患者无需使用全身性类固醇药物。在停用6-MP的完全缓解者中,87%随后复发。与使用6-MP相关的严重毒性反应很少。
6-MP是治疗难治性溃疡性结肠炎的一种相当安全有效的药物。成功治疗后停用6-MP的患者复发率很高,因此,必须长期维持使用6-MP以维持缓解状态。
