Introduction: Our understanding of the epidemiology of inflammatory conditions of the pouch and effectiveness of treatment is largely based on selected populations. We created a state-level registry to evaluate the incidence of pouchitis and the effectiveness of treatments used in an initial episode of pouchitis.
Methods: In a state-level retrospective cohort of all patients undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020, we evaluated the incidence of pouchitis and compared the proportion of patients developing recurrent pouchitis and chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis according to initial antibiotic therapy.

Background: Evidence-based recommendations regarding the influence of diet on inflammatory conditions of the pouch after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) are limited.
Methods: We analyzed dietary patterns at enrollment in a prospective registry of patients with 1 of 4 inflammatory conditions of the pouch (acute pouchitis, chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis, chronic antibiotic refractory pouchitis, and Crohn's disease of the pouch). We analyzed dietary intake by disease activity at enrollment and then compared dietary patterns among patients who remained in remission throughout the 12-month follow-up to those patients who experienced a disease relapse.
