ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The fistulizing form of Crohn's disease (CD) represents a great challenge regarding treatment, especially perianal fistulas, for its high prevalence.

Objective:

To assess factors related to the response to surgical treatment associated with anti-TNF inpatients with CD and perianal fistulas.

Method:

Retrospective study of patients with CD and perianal fistulas who used IFX or ADA in association with surgical treatment.

Results:

30 patients with a mean age of 35 years were studied; 16 were treated with ADA (9 ADA + AZA) and 14 with IFX (10 IFX + AZA); ten of those treated with ADA responded, and of the six non-respondents, only one responded to IFX; eight responded to IFX, and among those non-respondents, no one showed response with ADA; among the respondents, there were 10 men and nine women; of those non-respondents, eight were men and 3 women; of those under 40 years, 16 responded compared with only three non-respondents; of those over 40 years, three responded versus eight non-respondents; as to the time elapsed between the onset of the disease and the beginning of anti-TNF, 14 (<2 years), one (2-5 years) and four (>5 years) responded, and five (<2 years), four (2-5 years) and two (>5 years) were non-respondents.

Conclusion:

There was no difference in response between the anti-TNF agents used; a better response was noted in those who used anti-TNF in combination with azathioprine, among women, in those under 40 years and in those treated within two years of the onset of the disease. (AU)
RESUMO

Introdução:

A forma fistulizante da Doença de Crohn (DC) apresenta um grande desafio quanto ao seu tratamento, especialmente as fístulas perianais pela sua alta prevalência.

Objetivo:

Analisar os fatores relacionados à resposta ao tratamento cirúrgico associado ao anti-TNF de pacientes com fístulas perianais por DC.

Método:

Estudo retrospectivo de pacientes com fístulas perianais por DC que fizeram uso de IFX ou ADA associado ao tratamento cirúrgico.

Resultados:

Foram estudados 30 pacientes com média de idade de 35 anos; 16 foram tratados com ADA (9 ADA + AZA) e 14 com IFX (10 IFX + AZA); 10 dos tratados com ADA tiveram resposta; e dos seis que não responderam, apenas um teve resposta com IFX; oito tiveram resposta com IFX; e dos que não responderam, nenhum apresentou resposta com ADA; dos que responderam, 10 eram homens e nove mulheres; dos que não responderam, oito eram homens e três mulheres; daqueles com menos de 40 anos, 16 responderam contra apenas três que não responderam; dos com mais de 40 anos, três responderam contra oito que não responderam; quanto ao tempo decorrido entre o início da doença e o início do anti-TNF, 14 (<2 anos), um (2-5 anos) e quatro (>5 anos) responderam, e cinco (<2 anos), quatro (2-5 anos) e dois (>5 anos) não responderam.

Conclusão:

Não houve diferença de resposta entre os agentes anti-TNF utilizados; houve melhor resposta nos que utilizaram anti-TNF em associação com azatioprina, entre as mulheres, nos pacientes com menos de 40 anos e naqueles tratados com até dois anos do início da doença. (AU)
