RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Internal hernia is a well-known complication of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), with reported rates ~ 5% within three months to three years after surgery. Internal hernia through a mesenteric defect can lead to small bowel obstruction. Mesenteric defects began to be more routinely closed, often considered standard practice by 2010. To our knowledge, there are no large population-based studies looking at rates of internal hernia post-LRYGB. This study utilizes a statewide database to characterize the trends of internal hernia post-LRYGB over the last two decades in multiple centers. METHODS: LRYGB procedure records between January 2005 and September 2015 were extracted from the New York SPARCS database. Exclusion criteria included age < 18, in-hospital deaths, bariatric revision procedures, and internal hernia repair during the same hospitalization as LRYGB. Time to internal hernia was calculated from initial LRYGB hospital stay to admission date of the first internal hernia repair record. A multivariable proportional sub-distribution hazards model was utilized to analyze the trend of internal hernia incidence within three-year post-LRYGB. RESULTS: 46,918 patients were identified between 2005 and 2015, with 2950 (6.29) undergoing internal hernia repair post-LRYGB by the end of 2018. The cumulative incidence of internal hernia repair at the 3rd-year post-LRYGB was 4.80% (95% CI: 4.59%-5.02%). By the end of the 13th year, the longest follow-up period, the cumulative incidence was 12.00% (95% CI: 11.30%-12.70%). Overall, there was a decreasing trend over time of undergoing internal hernia repair within three-year post-LRYGB (HR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.93-0.96), after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSION: This multicenter study maintains the rate of internal hernia following LRYGB reported in smaller studies and provides a longer follow-up period demonstrating decreasing occurrences of internal hernia after bypass as a function of year of index operation. This data is important as internal hernia continues to be a complication post-LRYGB.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The timing of cholecystectomy in relation to outcomes has been debated. To our knowledge, there are no large population-based studies looking at outcomes and complications of delayed cholecystectomy [DC] (> 72 h after presentation). This study utilizes a statewide database to determine whether there are differences in patient outcomes for DC performed at 3-4 days, 5-6 days, and ≥ 7 days after presentation. METHODS: The New York SPARCS database was used to identify adult patients presenting with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis from 2005 to 2017. Patients aged < 18, those with missing identifier or procedure-date information, those who underwent early cholecystectomy < 72 h or upon readmission, were excluded. Patients undergoing DC at 3-4 days, 5-6 days, and ≥ 7 days were compared in terms of overall complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmissions/emergency department (ED) visits, and 30-day mortality. RESULTS: 30,259 patients were identified. DCs were performed within 3-4 days (n = 19,845, 65.6%), 5-6 days (n = 6432, 21.3%), and ≥ 7 days (n = 3982, 13.2%). There was a stepwise deterioration in outcomes with increased delay to surgery (Fig. 1). When comparing 3-4 and ≥ 7 days, overall complications (OR = 0.418, 95% CI: 0.387-0.452), 30-day readmissions (OR = 0.609, 95% CI: 0.549-0.674), 30-day ED visits (OR = 0.697, 95% CI: 0.637-0.763), 30-day mortality (OR = 0.601, 95% CI: 0.400-0.904), and LOS (OR = 0.729, 95% CI: 0.710-0.748) were lower in the 3-4 day cohort. CONCLUSIONS: DC within 3-4 days is associated with fewer complications, readmissions and ED visits, and reduced LOS compared to DC at 5-6 or ≥ 7 days after presentation. In addition, 30-day mortality was also significantly different comparing 3-4 with ≥ 7-day cohorts. These data are important for guiding patients in the consent process and may point to choosing an earlier interval cholecystectomy for high-risk patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to show how full-time telemedicine adoption has impacted patient visit volume and attendance in a comprehensive metabolic and weight loss center. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Elective surgical practices have been profoundly impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a rapid increase in the utilization of telemedicine. The abrupt initiation of audio-video telehealth visits for all providers of a multidisciplinary clinic on March 19 2020 provided unique circumstances to assess the impact of telemedicine. METHODS: Data from the clinical booking system (new patient and follow-up visits) for all clinical provider types of the multidisciplinary metabolic center from the pre-telehealth, post-telehealth, and a 2019 comparative period were retrospectively reviewed and compared. The primary outcome is the change in patient visit volume for all clinical providers from before to after the initiation of telemedicine for both new patient, and follow-up visits. RESULTS: There were a total of 506 visits (162 new patient visits, and 344 follow-ups) in the pre-telehealth period, versus 413 visits (77 new patient visits, and 336 follow-ups) during the post-telehealth period. After telehealth implementation, new visits for surgeons decreased by 75%. Although follow-up visits decreased by 55.06% for surgeons, there was an increase by 27.36% for advanced practitioners. When surgeons were separated from other practitioners, their follow-up visit rate decrease by 55.06%, compared to a 16.08% increase for the group of all other practitioners (P < 0.0001). Dietitians experienced higher rates of absenteeism with new patient visits (10.00% vs 31.42%, P = 0.0128), whereas bariatricians experienced a decrease in follow-up visit absenteeism (33.33% vs 0%, P = 0.0093). CONCLUSIONS: Although new patient visit volume fell across the board, follow-up visits increased for certain nonsurgical providers. This provides a template for adoption of a multidisciplinary telehealth clinic in a post-pandemic world.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Perianal fistulising disease can affect up to 25% of patients with Crohn's disease [CD] and lead to significant morbidity. Although the role of the gut microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] has been increasingly recognised, its role in fistula development has scarcely been studied. Here, we aimed to define the microbial signature associated with perianal fistulising CD in children. METHODS: A prospective observational study including children age 6-18 years with a diagnosis of perianal fistulising CD was conducted. Stool samples and rectal and perianal fistula swabs were collected. Stool samples and rectal swabs from children with CD without perianal disease and healthy children were included as comparison. Whole shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed. RESULTS: A total of 31 children [mean age 15.5 ± 3.5 years] with perianal CD were prospectively enrolled. The fistula-associated microbiome showed an increase in alpha diversity and alteration in the abundance of several taxa compared with the rectal- and faecal-associated microbiome with key taxa belonging to the Proteobacteria phylum. Genes conferring resistance to the clinically used antibiotic regimen ciprofloxacin and metronidazole were found in the three sample types. In comparison with children without the perianal phenotype [N = 36] and healthy controls [N = 41], the mucosally-associated microbiome of children with perianal CD harboured a reduced butyrogenic potential. Linear discriminant analysis identified key taxa distinguishing the rectal mucosally-associated microbiome of children with perianal CD from children without this phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: The microbial community within CD-related anorectal fistula is compositionally and functionally unique. Taken together, these findings emphasise the need to better understand the ecosystem of the fistula milieu to guide development of novel microbiome-based strategies in this CD phenotype.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recent adult evidence suggests that infliximab (IFX) trough levels (TL) in patients with severe ulcerative colitis (UC) may be decreased. The aims of our study were to compare post-induction IFX TL of children with severe versus moderate UC and to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes. METHODS: In this single-center retrospective study, children with a diagnosis of UC starting IFX with a Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) ≥35 and with available post-induction TL were recruited. UC characteristics, IFX dosage and interval, primary non-response, IFX failure, and surgery after 24 months were collected. Post induction TL, anti-IFX antibodies, and laboratory evaluations at the time of starting IFX were also acquired. RESULTS: A total of 90 children were enrolled, of whom 39 (43.3%) were classified as severe UC and 51 (56.6%) as moderate UC. Median post-induction IFX TL were lower in severe UC versus moderate group (5.5 vs 10.3; p = 0.03), despite a more frequently intensified IFX regimen. Children in the higher TL quartiles showed increased rates of clinical, biological, and combined remission (p = 0.04, p < 0.001, and p = 0.01, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, a PUCAI ≥65 and time interval from last IFX infusion were the only predictors associated with IFX TL. At 24 months, children in the higher TL quartiles had a decreased risk of IFX failure (p = 0.002). The severe UC group showed a higher risk of IFX failure at 24 months (16/23 (41%) vs. 11/40 (21.6%); p = 0.05). Kaplan-Meier methods demonstrated a trend toward statistical significance, with a two-year cumulative colectomy rate of 15.38% (95% confidence interval (CI) 8.1-15.6%) in children with severe UC and 3.92% (95% CI 2.9-10.8%) in patients with moderate UC (logrank test p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: Children starting IFX with severe UC showed lower post-induction TL and poor disease outcomes. Achieving adequate TL was associated with better efficacy outcomes.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is a well-known correlate of the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. However, few studies have examined the microbiome in very early-onset [VEO] IBD, which is defined as onset of IBD before 6 years of age. Here we focus on the viral portion of the microbiome-the virome-to assess possible viral associations with disease processes, reasoning that any viruses potentially associated with IBD might grow more robustly in younger subjects, and so be more detectable. METHODS: Virus-like particles [VLPs] were purified from stool samples collected from patients with VEO-IBD [n = 54] and healthy controls [n = 23], and characterized by DNA and RNA sequencing and VLP particle counts. RESULTS: The total number of VLPs was not significantly different between VEO-IBD and healthy controls. For bacterial viruses, the VEO-IBD subjects were found to have a higher ratio of Caudovirales vs to Microviridae compared to healthy controls. An increase in Caudovirales was also associated with immunosuppressive therapy. For viruses infecting human cells, Anelloviridae showed higher prevalence in VEO-IBD compared to healthy controls. Within the VEO-IBD group, higher levels of Anelloviridae DNA were also positively associated with immunosuppressive treatment. To search for new viruses, short sequences enriched in VEO-IBD samples were identified, and some could be validated in an independent cohort, although none was clearly viral; this provides sequence tags to interrogate in future studies. CONCLUSIONS: These data thus document perturbations to normal viral populations associated with VEO-IBD, and provide a biomarker-Anelloviridae DNA levels-potentially useful for reporting the effectiveness of immunosuppression.

RESUMEN

Children with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are particularly vulnerable to infection with Clostridioides difficile (CDI). IBD and IBD + CDI have overlapping symptoms but respond to distinctive treatments, highlighting the need for diagnostic biomarkers. Here, we studied pediatric patients with IBD and IBD + CDI, comparing longitudinal data on the gut microbiome, metabolome, and other measures. The microbiome is dysbiotic and heterogeneous in both disease states, but the metabolome reveals disease-specific patterns. The IBD group shows increased concentrations of markers of inflammation and tissue damage compared with healthy controls, and metabolic changes associate with susceptibility to CDI. In IBD + CDI, we detect both metabolites associated with inflammation/tissue damage and fermentation products produced by C. difficile. The most discriminating metabolite found is isocaproyltaurine, a covalent conjugate of a distinctive C. difficile fermentation product (isocaproate) and an amino acid associated with tissue damage (taurine), which may be useful as a joint marker of the two disease processes.
