AI Article Synopsis

  • * Through analysis of eight observational studies, it was established that the odds of developing AP were tripled in IBD patients, with a significantly higher risk in those with Crohn disease.
  • * The research also indicates an annual incidence rate of 210 cases of AP per 100,000 IBD patients, suggesting that monitoring pancreatic enzyme levels and conducting imaging studies are essential in IBD patients experiencing acute abdominal pain.

Article Abstract

Objectives: Increasing data suggest that acute pancreatitis (AP) occurs more frequently among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) than in the non-IBD population; however, currently no comprehensive meta-analysis is available.

Methods: Systematic literature search was conducted in 4 major databases. We included observational studies sampling from the general population. Basic study characteristics and crude incidences of AP were extracted. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated using the random-effects model. Subgroups were set up by Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. Heterogeneity was tested with I statistics.

Results: Eight studies were eligible for the analysis. The odds of AP were 3 times higher in IBD (OR, 3.11; 95% CI, 2.93-3.30; I, 0.0%), significantly higher in Crohn disease than in ulcerative colitis (P < 0.001; OR, 4.12 vs OR, 2.61; I, 0.0%). The pooled annual incidence of AP in IBD was 210/100,000 person-years (95% CI, 84-392/100,000 person-years; I, 98.66%).

Conclusions: We confirmed that IBD elevates the risk of AP and of 100,000 IBD patients 210 AP cases are to be expected annually. Therefore, it is important to include pancreatic enzyme level measurements and radiological investigations in the workup of IBD patients with acute abdominal pain.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther

January 2025

School of Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Background: Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is an established dietary therapy for Crohn's disease but its role in ulcerative colitis remains unclear.

Aims: To investigate the efficacy of EEN in adults with active ulcerative colitis and compare variations in treatment protocols, safety, tolerability and adherence.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Emcare, CINAHL, Web of Science and trial registries for articles published from inception until July 21, 2024.

Background: Association between dietary factors and the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been studied extensively. However, identification of deleterious dietary patterns merits further study.

Aim: To investigate the risk of developing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) according to the inflammatory score of the diet (ISD) in the multinational European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.
