ABSTRACT
Pouchitis, the most common long-term complication after colectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC), can lead to increased health care costs and diminished quality of life.1 In this study, we aimed to compare the total costs among patients diagnosed with pouchitis in the first 2 years after an IPAA with those among patients who were not diagnosed with pouchitis, using a large administrative claims database. Additionally, we aimed to investigate the specific drivers of cost among patients with an IPAA during the 2-year study period, including inpatient hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and pharmacy-related costs.
