RESUMEN

Despite incredible growth in systems of care and rapidly expanding therapeutic options for people with inflammatory bowel disease, there are significant barriers that prevent patients from benefiting from these advances. These barriers include restrictions in the form of prior authorization, step therapy, and prescription drug coverage. Furthermore, inadequate use of multidisciplinary care and inflammatory bowel disease specialists limits patient access to high-quality care, particularly for medically vulnerable populations. However, there are opportunities to improve access to high-quality, patient-centered care. This position statement outlines the policy and advocacy goals that the American Gastroenterological Association will prioritize for collaborative efforts with patients, providers, and payors.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease treatment transitioned from step-up therapy to induction of remission with a biologic agent, but insurance coverage varies. METHODS: Top 50 insurance companies were searched for publicly available policies for 5 biologic/small molecule agents. Data regarding coverage requirements were compared with American College of Gastroenterology/American Gastroenterological Association guidelines. RESULTS: Thirty-four insurers had public policies. Adherence to American College of Gastroenterology/American Gastroenterological Association guidelines ranged from 5.8% to 58.8%. Only 14.71% and 17.65% of policies permitted any first-line biologic therapy in Crohn's disease and in ulcerative colitis. DISCUSSION: Nearly every insurance company required failure of steroids and immunomodulators before biologic therapy. Further work is required to improve patient access to standard-of-care treatment.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Medicare patients in the United States may face high out-of-pocket (OOP) costs for specialty inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) medications. METHODS: We conducted a study of Medicare OOP costs for specialty IBD medications between 2020 and 2022 and compared them to incomes of typical Medicare beneficiaries. RESULTS: In 2022, median OOP costs ranged from 6.4% to 59.2% of annual income for a Medicare patient with approximately median income. Inflation-adjusted OOP costs for most medications increased between 2020 and 2022 though decreased for infliximab and its biosimilars. DISCUSSION: OOP costs may limit many Medicare beneficiaries' access to specialty IBD medications.

RESUMEN

Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common reason for hospitalization in the United States and is associated with significant utilization of hospital resources, as well as considerable morbidity and mortality. These revised guidelines implement the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology to propose recommendations for the use of risk stratification tools, thresholds for red blood cell transfusion, reversal agents for patients on anticoagulants, diagnostic testing including colonoscopy and computed tomography angiography (CTA), endoscopic therapeutic options, and management of antithrombotic medications after hospital discharge. Important changes since the previous iteration of this guideline include recommendations for the use of risk stratification tools to identify patients with LGIB at low risk of a hospital-based intervention, the role for reversal agents in patients with life-threatening LGIB on vitamin K antagonists and direct oral anticoagulants, the increasing role for CTA in patients with severe LGIB, and the management of patients who have a positive CTA. We recommend that most patients requiring inpatient colonoscopy undergo a nonurgent colonoscopy because performing an urgent colonoscopy within 24 hours of presentation has not been shown to improve important clinical outcomes such as rebleeding. Finally, we provide updated recommendations regarding resumption of antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications after cessation of LGIB.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Overuse of screening colonoscopy increases cost and procedural adverse events, but inadequate surveillance can miss the development of colorectal cancer. We measured compliance with the 2020 U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer (USMSTF) polypectomy surveillance guidelines in clinical records and a survey. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study comparing surveillance intervals for first-time average-risk colonoscopies with the 2020 USMSTF guidelines. Cases were analyzed from 3 intervals (March 2021 to May 2021, November 2021 to January 2022, and April 2022 to May 2022), collectively termed the postguideline period, and a baseline period from November 2019 to January 2020. Real-world compliance rates were compared with results of a survey conducted between November 2020 and February 2021. RESULTS: Overall compliance was 48.9% among 532 colonoscopies, ranging from 8.3% for low-risk adenomas (LRAs), 88.3% for high-risk adenomas, 63.1% for sessile serrated polyps (SSPs), and 88.6% for hyperplastic polyps. Compliance for LRA increased from the baseline period (.8% vs 8.3%, P = .003), and 95.3% of nonadherent LRA cases followed the 2012 USMSTF guidelines. Compliance for LRAs was 18.6% among respondents who provided a compliant surveillance interval for LRAs in the survey. Noncompliance was associated with finishing training >10 years ago (odds ratio, 1.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-2.7) and performing over 800 colonoscopies annually (odds ratio, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-2.6). CONCLUSIONS: Adoption of the 2020 USMSTF surveillance guidelines remains low at 2 years. Further research into outcomes for patients with LRAs and SSPs may increase guideline adoption.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Clinical guidelines should ideally be formulated from data representative of the population they are applicable to; however, historically, studies have disproportionally enrolled non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients, leading to potential inequities in care for minority groups. Our study aims to evaluate the extent to which racial minorities were represented in the United States Colorectal Cancer Surveillance Guidelines. METHODS: We reviewed US guidelines between 1997 and 2020 and all identified studies cited by recommendations for surveillance after a baseline colonoscopy with no polyps, adenomas, sessile serrated polyps, and hyperplastic polyps. We analyzed the proportion of studies reporting race, and among these studies, we calculated the racial distribution of patients and compared the proportion of Non-NHW patients between each subtype. RESULTS: For all guidelines, we reviewed 75 studies encompassing 9,309,955 patients. Race was reported in 24% of studies and 14% of total patients. Non-NHW comprised 43% of patients in studies for normal colonoscopies, compared with 9% for adenomas, 22% for sessile serrated polyps, and 15% for hyperplastic polyps. For the 2020 guidelines, we reviewed 33 studies encompassing 5,930,722 patients. Race was reported in 15% of studies and 21% of total patients. Non-NHW comprised 43% of patients in studies for normal colonoscopies, compared with 9% for tubular adenomas. Race was not cited for any other 2020 guideline. CONCLUSION: Racial minorities are significantly underrepresented in US Colorectal Cancer Surveillance Guidelines, which may contribute to disparities in care. Future studies should prioritize enrolling a diverse patient population to provide data that accurately reflects their population.

RESUMEN

GOALS: The aim was to assess patient adherence to multitarget stool DNA testing as well as factors associated with adherence. BACKGROUND: In the United States, disparities in colorectal cancer screening exist along racial and socioeconomic lines. While some studies suggest that stool-based screening tests may help reduce the screening gap, the data for multitarget stool DNA testing is unclear. STUDY: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study on multitarget stool DNA testing ordered between April 2020 and July 2021. We calculated the proportion of patients who completed testing and used multivariate logistic regression to identify covariates associated with test adherence. RESULTS: Among 797 patients ordered for multitarget stool DNA testing, 481 patients (60.4%) completed testing. Adherence rates by patient subgroups ranged from 35.8% to 78.1%. Higher test adherence was found in Asian patients (odds ratio 2.65, 95% CI 1.36-5.18) and those who previously completed colorectal cancer screening (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.01-2.09), while Black patients (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.39-0.87), patients with resident primary care physicians (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.21-0.56), and patients contacted through an outreach program (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.87) had lower adherence. CONCLUSIONS: A significant proportion of patients ordered for multitarget stool DNA testing did not complete testing. Differences in adherence rates among patient subgroups may be reflective of underlying disparities in health care access.

RESUMEN

GOALS: We sought to evaluate the association of steroids with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). BACKGROUND: Patients with IBD are at increased risk of NAFLD. Steroids may have a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. STUDY: We searched MEDLINE (through PubMed) and Embase for studies from inception to July 2021. We included published interventional and observational studies of adults 18 years or older with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. We reported odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and generated forest plots. A random effects model generated a summary effect estimate. Publication bias was assessed by funnel plot and Egger's test. Study quality was examined using modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). RESULTS: A total of 12 observational studies with 3497 participants were included. NAFLD was identified in 1017 (29.1%) patients. The pooled odds ratio for the development of NAFLD in steroid users versus non-users was 0.87 (95% confidence interval: 0.72-1.04). There was no significant heterogeneity between studies ( I ²=0.00%, P =0.13). No publication bias was detected by funnel plot or Egger's test ( P =0.24). Findings were consistent among subgroup analyses stratified by study quality. CONCLUSION: In this meta-analysis, steroids were not associated with NAFLD in patients with IBD. Steroids may not need to be withheld from patients with IBD for the purposes of preventing NAFLD. Additional prospective studies that systematically document steroid exposure and important confounders among patients with IBD are warranted.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AIMS: Preventative care plays an important role in maintaining health in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to assess the overall quality, strength, and transparency of conflicts among guidelines on preventative care in IBD. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in multiple databases to identify all guidelines pertaining to preventative care in IBD in April 2021. All guidelines were reviewed for the transparency of conflicts of interest and funding, recommendation quality and strength, external guideline review, patient voice inclusion, and plan for update-as per Institute of Medicine standards. In addition, recommendations and their quality were compared between societies. RESULTS: Fifteen distinct societies and a total of 89 recommendations were included. Not all guidelines provided recommendations on the key aspects of preventative care in IBD-such as vaccinations, cancer prevention, stress reduction, and diet/exercise. Sixty-seven percent of guidelines reported on conflicts of interest, 20% underwent external review, and 27% included patient representation. In all, 6.7%, 21.3%, and 71.9% of recommendations were based on high, moderate, and low-quality evidence, respectively. Twenty-seven percent, 23.6%, and 49.4% of recommendations were strong, weak/conditional, and did not provide a strength, respectively. The proportion of high-quality evidence ( P =0.28) and strong recommendations ( P =0.41) did not significantly differ across societies. CONCLUSIONS: Many guidelines do not provide recommendations on key aspects of preventative care in IBD. As over 70% of recommendations are based on low-quality evidence, further studies on preventative care in IBD are warranted to improve the overall quality of evidence.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recently, there has been an increased focus on the role nutrition and diet play in maintaining health in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to assess the overall quality, strength, and transparency of conflicts among guidelines on nutrition/diet in IBD. METHODS: A systematic search was performed on multiple databases from inception until January 1, 2021, to identify guidelines pertaining to nutrition or diet in IBD. All guidelines were reviewed for disclosure of conflicts of interest (COI) and funding, recommendation quality and strength, external document review, patient representation, and plans for update-as per Institute of Medicine (IOM) standards. In addition, recommendations and their quality were compared between guidelines/societies.​ RESULTS: Seventeen distinct societies and a total of 228 recommendations were included. Not all guidelines provided recommendations on key aspects of diet-such as the role of supplements or the appropriate micro/macro nutrition in IBD. Fifty-nine percent of guidelines reported on COI, 24% underwent external review, and 41% included patient representation. 18.4%, 25.9%, and 55.7% of recommendations were based on high-, moderate-, and low-quality evidence, respectively. 10.5%, 24.6%, and 64.9% of recommendations were strong, weak/conditional, and did not provide a strength, respectively. The proportion of high-quality evidence (p = 0.12) and strong recommendations (p = 0.83) did not significantly differ across societies. CONCLUSIONS: Many guidelines do not provide recommendations on key aspects of diet/nutrition in IBD. As over 50% of recommendations are based on low-quality evidence, further studies on nutrition/diet in IBD are warranted to improve the overall quality of evidence.

RESUMEN

The incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease (CD) is rising globally. Patients with moderate to severe CD are at high risk for needing surgery and hospitalization and for developing disease-related complications, corticosteroid dependence, and serious infections. Optimal management of outpatients with moderate to severe luminal and/or fistulizing (including perianal) CD often requires the use of immunomodulator (thiopurines, methotrexate) and/or biologic therapies, including tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists, vedolizumab, or ustekinumab, either as monotherapy or in combination (with immunomodulators) to mitigate these risks. Decisions about optimal drug therapy in moderate to severe CD are complex, with limited guidance on comparative efficacy and safety of different treatments, leading to considerable practice variability. Since the last iteration of these guidelines published in 2013, significant advances have been made in the field, including the regulatory approval of 2 new biologic agents, vedolizumab and ustekinumab. Therefore, the American Gastroenterological Association prioritized updating clinical guidelines on this topic. To inform the clinical guidelines, this technical review was completed in accordance with the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) framework. The review addressed the following focused questions (in adult outpatients with moderate to severe luminal CD): overall and comparative efficacy of different medications for induction and maintenance of remission in patients with or without prior exposure to tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists, comparative efficacy and safety of biologic monotherapy vs combination therapy with immunomodulators, comparative efficacy of a top-down (upfront use of biologics and/or immunomodulator therapy) vs step-up treatment strategy (acceleration to biologic and/or immunomodulator therapy only after failure of mesalamine), and the role of corticosteroids and mesalamine for induction and/or maintenance of remission. Finally, in adult outpatients with moderate to severe fistulizing CD, this review addressed the efficacy of pharmacologic interventions for achieving fistula and the role of adjunctive antibiotics without clear evidence of active infection.

RESUMEN

Improvements in disease management, as well as endoscopic technology and quality, have dramatically changed the way in which we conceptualize and manage inflammatory bowel disease-related dysplasia over the past 20 years. Based on evolving literature, we propose a conceptual model and best practice advice statements for the prevention, detection, and management of colorectal dysplasia in people with inflammatory bowel disease. This expert review was commissioned and approved by the American Gastroenterological Association Institute Clinical Practice Updates Committee and the American Gastroenterological Association Governing Board to provide timely guidance on a topic of high clinical importance to the American Gastroenterological Association membership. It underwent internal peer review by the Clinical Practice Updates Committee and external peer review through standard procedures of Gastroenterology.

RESUMEN

This guideline provides updated recommendations on the role of preprocedure testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) in individuals undergoing endoscopy in the post-vaccination period and replaces the prior guideline from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) (released July 29, 2020). Since the start of the pandemic, our increased understanding of transmission has facilitated the implementation of practices to promote patient and health care worker (HCW) safety. Simultaneously, there has been increasing recognition of the potential harm associated with delays in patient care, as well as inefficiency of endoscopy units. With widespread vaccination of HCWs and the general population, a re-evaluation of AGA's prior recommendations was warranted. In order to update the role of preprocedure testing for SARS-CoV2, the AGA guideline panel reviewed the evidence on prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV2 infections in individuals undergoing endoscopy; patient and HCW risk of infections that may be acquired immediately before, during, or after endoscopy; effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in reducing risk of infections and transmission; patient and HCW anxiety; patient delays in care and potential impact on cancer burden; and endoscopy volumes. The panel considered the certainty of the evidence, weighed the benefits and harms of routine preprocedure testing, and considered burden, equity, and cost using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. Based on very low certainty evidence, the panel made a conditional recommendation against routine preprocedure testing for SARS-CoV2 in patients scheduled to undergo endoscopy. The panel placed a high value on minimizing additional delays in patient care, acknowledging the reduced endoscopy volumes, downstream impact on delayed cancer diagnoses, and burden of testing on patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Dose-intensified rescue therapy with infliximab for hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, there is ongoing debate about both the efficacy of these regimens to reduce the rate of colectomy and the associated risks of increased infliximab exposure. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the colectomy and postoperative complication rates in hospitalized patients with severe ulcerative colitis receiving standard infliximab induction therapy (3 doses of 5 mg/kg at weeks 0, 2, and 6) and dose-intensified regimens including a higher weight-based dosing or more rapid interval. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at an academic tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 145 adult patients received inpatient rescue infliximab therapy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis between 2008 and 2020. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was colectomy rate within 3 months of rescue therapy. Secondary outcomes include mid-term colectomy rates, as well as perioperative complications in patients receiving colectomy within 3 months of rescue infliximab initiation. RESULTS: The proportion of dose-intensified regimens increased over time. Unadjusted 3-month colectomy rates were 14% in patients who received standard rescue infliximab dosing, 16% in patients given a single dose-escalated dose, and 24% in patients given multiple inpatient dose-escalated doses. These rates were not statistically significantly different. Of the patients requiring colectomy within 3 months of infliximab rescue, those who received multiple inpatient doses of dose-escalated therapy had a higher percentage of colectomy during the initial hospitalization but a lower rate of perioperative complications. LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by the use of retrospective data and the limited power to account for the heterogeneity of disease. CONCLUSIONS: No significant difference was found in colectomy rates between patients receiving standard or dose-intensified regimens. However, dose-intensified regimens, including multiple inpatient doses given to patients with more severe disease, were not associated with a greater risk of perioperative complications.

LA TERAPIA DE RESCATE CON DOSIS INTENSIFICADA DE INFLIXIMAB EN COLITIS ULCEROSA GRAVE NO REDUCE LAS TASAS DE COLECTOMA A CORTO PLAZO NI AUMENTA LAS COMPLICACIONES POSOPERATORIAS: ANTECEDENTES:La terapia de rescate de dosis intensificada con infliximab para pacientes hospitalizados con colitis ulcerosa se ha vuelto cada vez más popular en los últimos años. Sin embargo, existe un debate en curso sobre la eficacia de estos regímenes para reducir la tasa de colectomía y los riesgos asociados a una mayor exposición al infliximab.OBJETIVO:El propósito de este estudio fue comparar las tasas de colectomía y complicaciones posoperatorias en pacientes hospitalizados con colitis ulcerosa grave que recibieron terapia estándar de inducción de infliximab (3 dosis de 5 mg/kg en las semanas 0, 2, 6) y regímenes de dosis intensificada que incluyen una dosificación más alta basada en el peso o intervalo más rápido.DISEÑO:Fue un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.ENTORNO CLÍNICO:Este estudio se realizó en un hospital académico de tercer nivel.PACIENTES:Un total de 145 pacientes adultos que recibieron terapia de rescate con infliximab para el tratamiento de la colitis ulcerosa entre 2008 y 2020.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACIÓN:El resultado principal fue la tasa de colectomía dentro de los 3 meses posteriores a la terapia de rescate. Los resultados secundarios incluyen tasas de colectomía a mediano plazo, así como las complicaciones perioperatorias en pacientes que reciben colectomía dentro de los 3 meses posteriores al inicio de infliximab de rescate.RESULTADOS:La proporción de regímenes de dosis intensificada aumentó con el tiempo. Las tasas de colectomía de 3 meses no ajustadas fueron del 14% en los pacientes que recibieron dosis estándar de infliximab de rescate, del 16% en los pacientes que recibieron una dosis única escalonada y del 24% en los pacientes que recibieron múltiples dosis hospitalarias escalonadas. Estas tasas no fueron estadísticamente significativas. De los pacientes que requirieron colectomía dentro de los 3 meses posteriores al rescate de infliximab, aquellos que recibieron terapia de múltiples dosis hospitalarias escalonadas tuvieron un mayor porcentaje de colectomía durante la hospitalización inicial pero una menor tasa de complicaciones perioperatorias.LIMITACIONES:Datos retrospectivos y poder limitado para explicar la heterogeneidad de la enfermedad.CONCLUSIONES:No se encontraron diferencias significativas en las tasas de colectomía entre los pacientes que recibieron regímenes estándar o de dosis intensificada. Sin embargo, los regímenes de dosis intensificadas, incluidas múltiples dosis hospitalarias administradas a pacientes con enfermedad más grave, no se asociaron con un mayor riesgo de complicaciones perioperatorias.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Evidence regarding outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) hospitalizations with coexisting cirrhosis is scant. We queried the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to evaluate the impact of cirrhosis on hospitalization characteristics and outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. METHODS: All admissions that listed IBD as a primary diagnosis by ICD-10-CM code (K50.X for Crohn's disease and K51.X for ulcerative colitis) in the NIS for 2016 and 2017 were included. Attributes of admissions with cirrhosis (K74.XX, 70.3, 78.81, and 71.7) were compared with noncirrhosis IBD admissions. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality. Length of stay and total hospital charges comprised secondary outcomes. RESULTS: A total weighted sample of 276,430 IBD admissions were identified, including 4615 with a concomitant diagnosis of cirrhosis. In a multivariate model, after adjusting for comorbidities, age, alimentary surgery during the admission and hospital type (teaching, urban nonteaching or rural), the presence of cirrhosis was associated with a higher inpatient mortality [odds ratio: 1.57; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16-2.15] and increased cost of admission (mean difference $11,651; 95% CI: 3830-19,472). No difference was noted in length of stay (difference: 0.44 d; 95% CI: -0.12-1.02) among these groups. Among admission diagnoses, infectious complications were the primary cause of death in 93.3% (95% CI: 87.1%-99.5%) of all inpatient mortality in the IBD with cirrhosis cohort as compared with 80.1% (95% CI: 77.6%-82.7%) of the mortality among IBD patients without cirrhosis ( P =0.01). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the presence of cirrhosis has an independent negative impact on outcomes for hospitalized patients with IBD as reflected by increased in-hospital mortality and higher cost of admission. A majority of the mortality was attributable to infections.
