AI Article Synopsis

  • The review aims to determine if atopic dermatitis (AD) raises the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) through a study of longitudinal data.
  • A total of eight studies with over 61 million participants were analyzed, showing that AD significantly increases the likelihood of developing IBD as well as specific forms such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
  • The findings indicate a strong connection between AD and an elevated risk of IBD, emphasizing the importance of monitoring individuals with AD for potential gastrointestinal complications.

Article Abstract

Aims: This review aimed to investigate whether atopic dermatitis (AD) increases the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by analyzing data from longitudinal studies.

Methods: Cohort and case-control studies evaluating the association between AD and the risk of IBD, Crohn's disease (CD), or ulcerative colitis (UC) were included. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to April 15, 2024.

Results: A total of eight retrospective cohort studies comprising 61 190 816 participants were included. Meta-analysis revealed that AD significantly increased the risk of IBD (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.31-1.43) without statistical heterogeneity. Further pooled analysis showed that AD was a significant risk factor for CD (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.31-1.76) and UC (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.13-1.56), with high inter-study heterogeneity (  = 83% and 89%, respectively). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the results.

Conclusion: AD is associated with an increased risk of IBD, significantly elevating the risk of both CD and UC.

Introduction: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is the classical hepatobiliary manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The strong association between gut and liver inflammation has driven several pathogenic hypotheses to which the intestinal microbiome is proposed to contribute. Pilot studies of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in PSC and IBD are demonstrated to be safe and associated with increased gut bacterial diversity.

Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the presence of somatic mutations in myeloid and lymphoid malignancy genes in the blood cells of individuals without a hematologic malignancy. Inflammation is hypothesized to be a key mediator in the progression of CHIP to hematologic malignancy and patients with CHIP have a high prevalence of inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and characteristics of CHIP in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Radiation exposure in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

J Crohns Colitis

January 2025

Translational Research in Gastrointestinal Disorders (TARGID), Department of Chronic Diseases and Metabolism, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium and Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium.

Background And Aims: Radiological imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). With increasing awareness of radiation risks, imaging doses should be 'as low as reasonably achievable', with a risk level that one should try to stay underneath 75 mSv. However, real-world data on cumulative exposure are limited.

Effects of immune cells in mediating the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and pyoderma gangrenosum: a two-sample, two-step mendelian randomization study.

Arch Dermatol Res

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325000, Zhejiang, China.

Background: Although the precise cause of the co-occurrence of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unknown, prior research has shown that the two conditions coexist. Moreover, it is currently unknown how immune cells function in influencing the relationship between IBD and PG.

Methods: In order to choose independent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as instrumental variables, we were provided with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of European populations from the IEU OpenGWAS project (for IBD) and a the FinnGen database (for PG) publically available.
