Objective: To investigate the risk factors and the prevention management of anastomotic leak in patients with Crohn disease undergoing bowel resections.

Methods: Clinical data of 91 patients with Crohn disease undergoing intestinal resection from 1990 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of anastomotic leak.

Results: A total of 120 intestinal anastomosis were performed in 91 patients, and anastomosis leak occurred in 14 patients (11.7%). Univariate analysis showed that operative timing (emergency or elective surgery), anastomosis type (side-to-side or end to end and end-to-side), operative time (≥3 h or <3 h), methods of anastomosis (handsewn or stapled) were the risk factors for anastomotic leak (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that emergency surgery (OR=3.891, 95%CI:1.332-13.692), end to end and end-to-side anastomosis (OR=3.236, 95%CI:1.165-11.950), handsewn anastomosis (OR=5.715, 95%CI:1.454-17.328) were independent risk factors of anastomotic leak.

Conclusion: Avoiding emergency operation, use of side to side anastomosis, and application of stapling may lower the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leak in patients with Crohn disease undergoing bowel resections.

Introduction: Pediatric-onset Crohn's disease (CD) has a more severe phenotype than adult-onset, and nearly one-third of pediatric CD patients will require surgical therapy. There is limited data on patient/disease characteristics that are associated with earlier surgical management.

Methods: All pediatric CD patients (<22 yrs) who underwent ileocolectomy from 2005 to 2021 were included.

Background: Psychiatric disease burden in patients with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has risen substantially over the past few decades. However, there is limited data on the relationship between IBD disease activity and the incidence of psychiatric comorbidities. We sought to conduct a population-based study to investigate the impact of early onset disease activity in newly diagnosed IBD patients on psychiatric disease diagnoses and medication usage.

Measurements on slope parameter mapping based on dual-energy CT enterography for improving Crohn's disease diagnosis and inflammatory activity evaluation.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, No.201-209 Hubinnan Road, Siming District, Xiamen, 361004, Fujian Province, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effectiveness of slope parameter images (SPI) from dual-phase dual-energy CT enterography (DE-CTE) for diagnosing and assessing Crohn's disease (CD) activity.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 76 CD patients and 53 controls, finding significant differences in dual-phase SP and HU values between groups, indicating higher values in affected individuals.
  • The findings suggest that the AP SP of mesenteric fat shows the highest diagnostic potential for CD, emphasizing the usefulness of SPI in both diagnosis and assessing inflammation levels.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global health issue profoundly impacting quality of life. The United States accounts for nearly a quarter of the world's IBD patients, with the highest prevalence rates. This study aims to identify the demographic and regional trends of IBD-related mortality in the U.
