ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Pouchitis is a common complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). However, there is a poor correlation between symptoms and endoscopic appearance of the pouch, and many patients can have debilitating symptoms in the absence of overt inflammation. It is unknown whether these clinical symptoms are independently associated with the microbiota. The objective of this work was to examine whether the individual clinical components of the pouch activity scoring systems are associated with specific microbiota.METHODS:
Pouch biopsies from 233 patients (50% male, 100% IPAA/ulcerative colitis) post-IPAA were included. Clinical phenotyping was performed, and patients were classified using both clinical and endoscopic components of the Pouch Activity Scale. Scoring for symptoms examined 24-hour stool frequency, urgency, incontinence, and rectal bleeding as described by the Pouchitis Disease Activity Index Score.RESULTS:
In the absence of inflammation, an increase in stool frequency reported over 24 hours was associated with a decrease in Bacteroidetes relative abundance, and this was the strongest association found. Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt) analysis in inflamed groups showed that an increase in 24-hour stool frequency was associated with an increase in biofilm formation.DISCUSSION:
These findings indicate that in patients with IPAA, the composition of mucosa-associated microbiota of the pouch may contribute to clinical symptoms, particularly stool frequency, independent of endoscopic disease activity.
