Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials: Medical therapies for the treatment and prevention of pouchitis.
We conducted a systematic review to assess medical therapy for the treatment and prevention of pouchitis.. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of medical therapy in adults with or without pouchitis were searched to March 2022. Primary outcomes included clinical remission/response, maintenance of remission and prevention of pouchitis.. Twenty RCTs (N = 830) were included. Acute pouchitis: One study compared ciprofloxacin with metronidazole. At 2 weeks, 100% (7/7) of ciprofloxacin participants achieved remission, compared with 67% (6/9) of metronidazole participants (RR: 1.44, 95% CI: 0.88-2.35, very low certainty evidence). One study compared budesonide enemas with oral metronidazole. Fifty percent (6/12) of budesonide participants achieved remission compared with 43% (6/14) of metronidazole participants (RR: 1.17, 95% CI: 0.51-2.67, low certainty evidence). Chronic pouchitis: Two studies (n = 76) assessed De Simone Formulation. Eighty-five percent (34/40) of De Simone Formulation participants maintained remission at 9-12 months compared with 3% (1/36) placebo participants (RR: 18.50, 95% CI: 3.86-88.56, moderate certainty evidence). One study assessed vedolizumab. Thirty-one percent (16/51) of vedolizumab participants achieved clinical remission at 14 weeks compared with 10% (5/51) of placebo participants (RR: 3.20, 95% CI: 1.27-8.08, moderate certainty evidence).. Two studies assessed De Simone Formulation. Ninety percent (18/20) of De Simone Formulation participants did not develop pouchitis compared with 60% (12/20) of placebo participants (RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.02-2.21, moderate certainty evidence).. Apart from vedolizumab and the De Simone formulation, the effects of other medical interventions for pouchitis are uncertain.

Treatment and prevention of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for chronic ulcerative colitis.
Pouchitis occurs in approximately 50% of patients following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for chronic ulcerative colitis (UC).. The primary objective was to determine the efficacy and safety of medical therapies for prevention or treatment of acute or chronic pouchitis.. We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL from inception to 25 July 2018. We also searched references, trials registers, and conference proceedings.. Randomized controlled trials of prevention or treatment of acute or chronic pouchitis in adults who underwent IPAA for UC were considered for inclusion.. Two authors independently screened studies for eligibility, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated using GRADE. The primary outcome was clinical improvement or remission in participants with acute or chronic pouchitis, or the proportion of participants with no episodes of pouchitis after IPAA. Adverse events (AEs) was a secondary outcome. We calculated the risk ratio (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for each dichotomous outcome.. Fifteen studies (547 participants) were included. Four studies assessed treatment of acute pouchitis. Five studies assessed treatment of chronic pouchitis. Six studies assessed prevention of pouchitis. Three studies were low risk of bias. Three studies were high risk of bias and the other studies were unclear. Acute pouchitis: All ciprofloxacin participants (7/7) achieved remission at two weeks compared to 33% (3/9) of metronidazole participants (RR 2.68, 95% CI 1.13 to 6.35, very low certainty evidence). No ciprofloxacin participants (0/7) had an AE compared to 33% (3/9) of metronidazole participants (RR 0.18, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.98; very low certainty evidence). AEs included vomiting, dysgeusia or transient peripheral neuropathy. Forty-three per cent (6/14) of metronidazole participants achieved remission at 6 weeks compared to 50% (6/12) of budesonide enema participants (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.37 to 1.96, very low certainty evidence). Fifty per cent (7/14) of metronidazole participants improved clinically at 6 weeks compared to 58% (7/12) of budesonide enema participants (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.42 to 1.74, very low certainty evidence). Fifty-seven per cent (8/14) of metronidazole participants had an AE compared to 25% (3/12) of budesonide enema participants (RR 2.29, 95% CI 0.78 to 6.73, very low certainty evidence). AEs included anorexia, nausea, headache, asthenia, metallic taste, vomiting, paraesthesia, and depression. Twenty-five per cent (2/8) of rifaximin participants achieved remission at 4 weeks compared to 0% (0/10) of placebo participants (RR 6.11, 95% CI 0.33 to 111.71, very low certainty evidence). Thirty-eight per cent (3/8) of rifaximin participants improved clinically at 4 weeks compared to 30% (3/10) of placebo participants (RR 1.25, 95% CI 0.34 to 4.60, very low certainty evidence). Seventy-five per cent (6/8) of rifaximin participants had an AE compared to 50% (5/10) of placebo participants (RR 1.50, 95% CI 0.72 to 3.14, very low certainty evidence). AEs included diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, proctalgia, vomiting, thirst, candida, upper respiratory tract infection, increased hepatic enzyme, and cluster headache. Ten per cent (1/10) of Lactobacillus GG participants improved clinically at 12 weeks compared to 0% (0/10) of placebo participants (RR 3.00, 95% CI 0.14 to 65.90, very low certainty evidence). Chronic pouchitis: Eighty-five per cent (34/40) of De Simone Formulation (a probiotic formulation) participants maintained remission at 9 to 12 mont. At 12 months, 90% (18/20) of De Simone Formulation participants had no episodes of acute pouchitis compared to 60% (12/20) of placebo participants (RR 1.50, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.21, low certainty evidence). Another study found 100% (16/16) of De Simone Formulation participants had no episodes of acute pouchitis at 12 months compared to 92% (11/12) of the no treatment control group (RR 1.10, 95% 0.89 to 1.36, very low certainty evidence). Eighty-six per cent (6/7) of Bifidobacterium longum participants had no episodes of acute pouchitis at 6 months compared to 60% (3/5) of placebo participants (RR 1.43, 95% CI 0.66 to 3.11, very low certainty evidence). Eleven per cent (1/9) of Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI participants had no episodes of acute pouchitis at 24 months compared to 50% (4/8) of placebo participants (RR 0.22, 95% CI 0.03 to 1.60, very low certainty evidence). Forty-six per cent (43/94) of allopurinol participants had no episodes of pouchitis at 24 months compared to 43% (39/90) of placebo participants (RR 1.06, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.46; low certainty evidence). Eighty-one per cent (21/26) of tinidazole participants had no episodes of pouchitis over 12 months compared to 58% (7/12) of placebo participants (RR 1.38, 95% CI 0.83 to 2.31, very low certainty evidence).. The effects of antibiotics, probiotics and other interventions for treating and preventing pouchitis are uncertain. Well designed, adequately powered studies are needed to determine the optimal therapy for the treatment and prevention of pouchitis.. La reservoritis ocurre en aproximadamente el 50% de los pacientes después de la anastomosis entre la bolsa ileal y el ano (IPAA, por sus siglas en inglés) para la colitis ulcerosa crónica (CU)..

Prevention and Medical Treatment of Pouchitis In Ulcerative Colitis.
Approximately 50% of patients who have undergone IPAA surgery for Ulcerative Colitis (UC) develop at least 1 episode of pouchitis. Patients with pouchitis have a wide range of symptoms, endoscopic and histologic features, disease course, and prognosis. To date, there are no universally accepted diagnostic criteria in terms of endoscopy and histology; though, semi-objective assessments to diagnose pouchitis in patients with ileal pouch- anal anastomosis (IPAA) have been proposed using composite scores such as the Pouchitis Triad, Heidelberg Pouchitis Activity Score and Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI). In a systematic review that included four randomized trials evaluating five agents for the treatment of acute pouchitis, ciprofloxacin was more effective at inducing remission as compared with metronidazole. Rifaximin was not more effective than placebo, while budesonide enemas and metronidazole were similarly effective for inducing remission of acute pouchitis. Patients with pouchitis relapsing more than three times per year are advised maintenance therapy, and guidelines recommend ciprofloxacin or the probiotic VSL#3. In patients with antibiotic-refractory pouchitis, secondary factors associated with an antibiotic-refractory course should be sought and treated. In this review, we will discuss the prevention and management of pouchitis in Ulcerative Colitis patients.

Treatment and prevention of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for chronic ulcerative colitis.
Pouchitis occurs in approximately 50% of patients following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for chronic ulcerative colitis.. The primary objective was to determine the efficacy and safety of medical therapies (including antibiotics, probiotics, and other agents) for prevention or treatment of acute or chronic pouchitis.. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library from inception to October 2014.. Randomized controlled trials of prevention or treatment of acute or chronic pouchitis in adults who underwent IPAA for ulcerative colitis were considered for inclusion.. Two authors independently screened studies for eligibility, extracted data and assessed study quality. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The overall quality of the evidence supporting the outcomes was evaluated using the GRADE criteria. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with clinical improvement or remission of pouchitis in patients with acute or chronic pouchitis, or the proportion of patients with no episodes of pouchitis after IPAA. The proportion of patients who developed at least one adverse event was a secondary outcome. We calculated the risk ratio (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for each dichotomous outcome.. Thirteen studies (517 participants) were included in the review. Four studies assessed treatment of acute pouchitis. One study (16 participants) compared ciprofloxacin and metronidazole; another (26 participants) compared metronidazole to budesonide enemas; another (18 participants) compared rifaximin to placebo; and the fourth study (20 participants) compared Lactobacillus GG to placebo. Four studies assessed treatment of chronic pouchitis. One study (19 participants) compared glutamine to butyrate suppositories; another (40 participants) compared bismuth enemas to placebo; and two studies (76 participants) compared VSL#3 to placebo. Five studies assessed prevention of pouchitis. One study (40 participants) compared VSL#3 to placebo; another (28 participants) compared VLS#3 to no treatment; one study (184 participants) compared allopurinol to placebo; another (12 participants) compared the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum to placebo; and one study (38 participants) compared tinidazole to placebo. Three studies were judged to be of high quality. Two studies were judged to be low quality and the quality of the other studies was unclear. Treatment of acute pouchitis: The results of one small study (16 participants) suggest that ciprofloxacin may be more effective than metronidazole for the treatment of acute pouchitis. One hundred per cent (7/7) of ciprofloxacin patients achieved remission at two weeks compared to 33% (3/9) of metronidazole patients. A GRADE analysis indicated that the overall quality of the evidence supporting this outcome was very low due to high risk of bias (no blinding) and very sparse data (10 events). There was no difference in the proportion of patients who had at least one adverse event (RR 0.18, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.98). Adverse events included vomiting, dysgeusia or transient peripheral neuropathy. There were no differences between metronidazole and budesonide enemas in terms of clinical remission, clinical improvement or adverse events. Adverse events included anorexia, nausea, headache, asthenia, metallic taste, vomiting, paraesthesia, and depression. There were no differences between rifaximin and placebo in terms of clinical remission, clinical improvement, or adverse events. Adverse events included diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, proctalgia, vomiting, thirst, candida, upper respiratory tract infection, increased hepatic enzyme, and cluster headache. There was no difference in clinical improvement between Lactobacillus GG and place. For acute pouchitis, very low quality evidence suggests that ciprofloxacin may be more effective than metronidazole. For chronic pouchitis, low quality evidence suggests that VSL#3 may be more effective than placebo for maintenance of remission. For the prevention of pouchitis, low quality evidence suggests that VSL#3 may be more effective than placebo. Well designed, adequately powered studies are needed to determine the optimal therapy for the treatment and prevention of pouchitis.

Oral budesonide in the treatment of chronic refractory pouchitis.
Pouchitis is the major long-term complication after ileal-pouch nal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Ten to 15% of patients develop a chronic pouchitis, either treatment responsive or treatment refractory.. To evaluate the efficacy of oral budesonide in inducing remission and improving quality of life in patients with chronic refractory pouchitis.. Twenty consecutive patients with active pouchitis, not responding after 1 month of antibiotic treatment were treated with budesonide controlled ileal release 9 mg/day for 8 weeks. Symptomatic, endoscopic and histological evaluations were undertaken before and after treatment according to Pouchitis Disease Activity Index. Remission was defined as a combination of Pouchitis Disease Activity Index clinical score of < or = 2, endoscopic score of < or = 1 and total Pouchitis Disease Activity Index score of < or = 4. The quality of life was assessed with the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire.. Fifteen of 20 patients (75%) achieved remission. The median total Pouchitis Disease Activity Index scores before and after therapy were, respectively, 14 (range 9-16) and 3 (range 2-10) (P < 0.001). The median Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire score also significantly improved from 105 (range 77-175) to 180 (range 85-220) (P < 0.001).. Eight-week treatment with oral budesonide appears effective in inducing remission in patients with active pouchitis refractory to antibiotic treatment in this open-label study.

Budesonide enema in pouchitis--a double-blind, double-dummy, controlled trial.
Pouchitis has been suggested to be a recurrence of ulcerative colitis in a colon-like mucosa. Topical steroids are a valid therapeutic alternative for distal forms of ulcerative colitis.. To investigate the efficacy and tolerability of budesonide enema in the treatment of pouchitis compared with oral metronidazole.. Twenty-six patients with an active episode of pouchitis (defined as a pouchitis disease activity index score >or= 7) and no treatment during the previous month were randomized to receive either budesonide enema (2 mg/100 mL at bedtime) plus placebo tablets or oral metronidazole (0.5 g b.d.) plus placebo enema in a prospective, double-blind, double-dummy, 6-week, controlled trial.. Based on the intention-to-treat principle, we detected a significant improvement in disease activity at the end of the first week with both drugs (P < 0.01). After that, improvement was moderated until stabilization at 4 weeks in both treatments. The per protocol analysis showed that both drugs had similar efficacy in terms of disease activity, clinical and endoscopic findings. Fifty-eight per cent and 50% of patients improved (decrease in pouchitis disease activity index >or= 3) with budesonide enema and metronidazole, respectively (odds ratio, 1.4; confidence interval, 0.2-8.9). Adverse effects were observed in 57% of patients given metronidazole and in 25% of patients given budesonide.. Budesonide enemas are an alternative treatment for active pouchitis, with similar efficacy but better tolerability than oral metronidazole.

Appropriateness of Medical and Surgical Treatments for Chronic Pouchitis Using RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Methodology.
The treatment of chronic pouchitis remains a challenge due to the paucity of high-quality studies. We aimed to provide guidance for clinicians on the appropriateness of medical and surgical treatments in chronic pouchitis.. Appropriateness of medical and surgical treatments in patients with chronic pouchitis was considered in 16 scenarios incorporating presence/absence of four variables: pouchitis symptoms, response to antibiotics, significant prepouch ileitis, and Crohn's disease (CD)-like complications (i.e., stricture or fistula). Appropriateness of permanent ileostomy in patients refractory to medical treatments was considered in eight additional scenarios. Using the RAND/UCLA appropriateness method, international IBD expert panelists rated appropriateness of treatments in each scenario on a 1-9 scale.. Chronic antibiotic therapy was rated appropriate only in asymptomatic antibiotic-dependent patients with no CD-like complications and inappropriate in all other scenarios. Ileal-release budesonide was rated appropriate in 6/16 scenarios including patients with significant prepouch ileitis but no CD-like complications. Probiotics were considered either inappropriate (14/16) or uncertain (2/16). Biologic therapy was considered appropriate in most scenarios (14/16) and uncertain in situations where significant prepouch ileitis or CD-like complications were absent (2/16). In patients who are refractory to all medications, permanent ileostomy was considered appropriate in all scenarios (7/8) except in asymptomatic patients with no CD-like complications.. In the presence of significant prepouch ileitis or CD-like complications, chronic antibiotics and probiotics are inappropriate. Biologics are appropriate in all patients except in asymptomatic patients with no evidence of complications. Permanent ileostomy is appropriate in most medically refractory patients.

Recommendations of the Spanish Working Group on Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (GETECCU) on pouchitis in ulcerative colitis. Part 2: Treatment.
Pouchitis treatment is a complex entity that requires a close medical and surgical relationship. The elective treatment for acute pouchitis is antibiotics. After a first episode of pouchitis it is recommended prophylaxis therapy with a probiotic mix, nevertheless it is not clear the use of this formulation for preventing a first episode of pouchitis after surgery. First-line treatment for chronic pouchitis is an antibiotic combination. The next step in treatment should be oral budesonide. Selected cases of severe, chronic refractory pouchitis may benefit from biologic agents, and anti-TNF α should be recommended as the first option, leaving the new biologicals for multi-refractory patients. Permanent ileostomy may be an option in severe refractory cases to medical treatment.

Impact of budesonide on liver function tests and gut inflammation in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and ileal pouch anal anastomosis.
Budesonide has been studied in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of oral budesonide on liver function tests in patients with PSC and pouchitis associated with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).. The study group consisted of 18 pouch patients with underlying ulcerative colitis (UC) and PSC who were treated with 9 mg daily of budesonide for their underlying pre-pouch ileitis and pouchitis for 1-3 months followed by 3-6 mg maintenance for another 9 months. Demographic and clinical variables were analyzed.. The mean age was 39.4±12.4 years (range, 21-59 years). There was no significant change in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) [median (interquartile range) (IQR) 32 (25, 43.8) vs. 35.5 (25.5, 53), p=0.35], alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [37.5 (25.5, 49.5) vs. 40 (30, 84.3), p=0.29], alkaline phosphatase [142.5 (98.5, 264.5) vs. 126 (94.3, 189.5), p=0.35], serum bilirubin [0.7 (0.4, 1.3) vs., 0.6 (0.4, 1.6), p=0.13] or albumin levels [4.3 (3.9, 4.4) vs. 4.2 (3.8, 4.4), p=0.22] at the end of the treatment period (1 year). The revised Mayo Risk Score did not change significantly and three patients required evaluation for liver transplantation during treatment. There was a significant improvement in the endoscopy subscores in the afferent limb and pouch after a year of budesonide treatment (p=0.001).. Oral budesonide appears to have no impact on liver function tests in pouch patients with PSC. However it significantly improved afferent limb and pouch inflammation in IPAA patients.

Prevalence and clinical implications of positive serum anti-microsomal antibodies in symptomatic patients with ileal pouches.
Autoimmune disorders (AID) have been shown to be associated with chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis (CARP). The role of anti-microsomal antibodies in ileal pouch disorders has not been investigated. The aims of the study were to investigate the prevalence of positive anti-microsomal antibody in symptomatic patients with ileal pouches and to investigate its clinical implications.. A total of 118 consecutive symptomatic patients with ileal pouches were included between January and October 2010. Anti-microsomal antibodies were measured at the time of presentation. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics were compared between patients with positive and negative anti-microsomal antibody.. There were 14 patients (11.9%) with positive serum anti-microsomal antibody. The mean age of patients in the antibody positive and negative groups were 41.8 ± 14.4 and 42.0 ± 14.0 years, respectively (p = 0.189). All 14 patients in the antibody positive group (100%) had some form of AID, as compared to 20 patients (19.2%) in the antibody negative group (p < 0.001). Four (28.6%) patients in the antibody positive group had at least one AID in addition to Hashimoto's thyroiditis in contrast to four (3.8%) in the antibody negative group (p = 0.003). In addition, five (35.7%) patients had associated primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in the antibody positive group compared to nine (8.7%) in the antibody negative group (p = 0.012). Eleven patients (78.6%) in the antibody positive group required steroids for treatment of pouch related symptoms in contrast to 26/104 (25%) patients in the antibody negative group (p = 0.002).. Anti-microsomal antibodies were common in pouch patients presenting with symptoms. Patients with positive anti-microsomal antibodies were much more likely to have concurrent AID and PSC. These patients were more likely to require therapy with steroids.

Incidence and short-term implications of prepouch ileitis following restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis.
Pouchitis following restorative proctocolectomy is common. Inflammation proximal to the pouch, prepouch ileitis (PPI) has recently been described. Its incidence and implications are unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of PPI at pouchoscopy and correlate this with symptoms, diagnosis, and outcome.. The authors searched the endoscopy database at our institution for the terms "pouchitis" and "ileitis" and reviewed hospital records.. A total of 1448 pouchoscopies were performed on 742 patients. PPI was diagnosed in 34 (5.7 percent) patients with ulcerative colitis/indeterminate colitis and 1 (0.6 percent) with polyposis. All of the patients had concurrent pouch inflammation, and in this group the incidence was 13 percent. The median length of the PPI was 10 cm. Asymptomatic patients totaled 26 percent. At follow-up (median, 12 months) no patient was reclassified to Crohn's disease, and no patients required an ileostomy for poor function.. The incidence of PPI in patients with ulcerative colitis/indeterminate colitis is 5.7 percent, and it occurs in 13 percent of patients with pouch inflammation. All of the patients had associated pouch inflammation; however, not all of the patients were symptomatic. Our results demonstrate that PPI is common in patients with pouchitis; it does not imply missed Crohn's disease or predict an increased rate of pouch failure, at least in the short term.

[Oral budesonide in the treatment of chronic refractory pouchitis].
Pouchitis is the most frequent complication following total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Up to 15% of patients with pouchitis experience a chronic course, which can be resistant to antibiotic therapy and may lead to surgical excision of the pouch. Further therapeutic options are therefore needed. Oral budesonide, a corticosteroid with topical activity in the terminal ileum (controlled ileal release [CIR] capsules), may be an alternative.. We performed a prospective, open study of five patients with chronic refractory pouchitis. Patients were treated with 9 mg of budesonide capsules after other causes of the lack of treatment response were excluded. Assessments included clinical, endoscopic and histological evaluation at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment. Efficacy was evaluated using the pouchitis disease activity index (PDAI) global scores as well as the clinical, endoscopic and histological subscores at baseline and 8 weeks. Remission was defined as a global score < 7. Variations in laboratory parameters and tolerance were also assessed.. Four out of five patients went into remission at 8 weeks and a significant decrease was observed in the median total PDAI score from 14 (range, 12-15) to 4 (range, 4-11) (p = 0.0422) and in the three subscores: clinical from 4 (range, 4-5) to 1 (range, 0-4) (p = 0.0394), endoscopic from 5 (range, 4-6) to 2 (range, 1-5) (p = 0.0394), and histologic from 4 (range, 4-5) to 2 (range, 2-2) (p = 0.0339). No significant adverse effects were reported.. Oral budesonide CIR capsules may be an option to induce remission in active chronic refractory pouchitis. Because tolerance is good, the use of enemas may be avoided.
