Intestinal and extraintestinal neoplasia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in a tertiary care hospital.

Context: The development of neoplasia is an important concern associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially colorectal cancer (CRC).

Objectives: Our aim was to determine the incidence of intestinal and extraintestinal neoplasias among patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Methods: There were retrieved information from 1607 patients regarding demographics, disease duration and extent, temporal relationship between IBD diagnosis and neoplasia, clinical outcomes and risk factors for neoplasia.

Quality of life in the late follow-up of ulcerative colitis patients submitted to restorative proctocolectomy with sphincter preservation over ten years ago.

Objective: To evaluate, by means of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), the quality of life of ulcerative colitis patients submitted to proctocolectomy with sphincter preservation using J-pouch reconstruction over ten years ago.

Methods: The study consisted of 36 patients interviewed using the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire. The score scale, resulting from the addition of each answer, ranged from 32 to 224, where the highest score indicates the best quality of life.
