BackgroundRestorative proctocolectomy with ileopouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the treatment of choice for intractable or complicated ulcerative colitis (UC). Debate exists concerning outcomes of IPAA in the elderly and literature data are scarce. We report our experience of IPAA in older population.MethodsWe gathered data on a prospective database of patients undergoing IPAA for UC over 70 years of age in our Unit from January 1990 through January 2010. Patients were compared with randomly selected younger controls on a 1:3 ratio. Patients underwent IPAA in 2 or 3 stages. Demographical data, disease characteristics, comorbidities, concomitant medications, peri-operative management, intra- and post-operative complications were analyzed. Function and quality of life were assessed by clinical visit and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire 1 and 3 years after ileostomy takedown.ResultsTwenty-seven elderly patients underwent IPAA for UC in the study period; these were compared with 81 younger controls. The former had more comorbidities and higher ASA score. All patients underwent loop-ileostomy closure. There were no differences between groups concerning the rate of major complications, but elderly patients more frequently had nuisances due to stoma output. Younger patients experienced significantly more episodes of small bowel obstruction. No significant differences in bowel control and health-related quality of life was observed, except for an higher rate of elderly patients taking antidiarrhoeals at 1-year follow-up; this observation was not confirmed at 3-year follow-up. A minimal decrease in continence was observed, but this did not affect overall satisfaction.ConclusionsIPAA can be safely offered to selected elderly UC patients who are strongly motivated and with no clinical disturbances of continence. In experienced hands no differences are likely to be expected concerning complications, quality of life and function. Results are stable with time and comparable to those of younger patients.

Objectives Ulcerative colitis (UC) can give rise to several restrictions of patients' working and social activities. We aimed to determine the association between disease chronicity and the state of disability in a large population with UC. Methods We recruited consecutive patients with UC attending the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) unit of the Azienda Ospedaliera of Padua between July and December 2017. We collected patients' characteristics and clinical information, and all participants completed the IBD questionnaire (IBDQ) for quality of life assessment and the IBD disability index (IBD‐DI) questionnaire. Using univariate logistic regression models we assessed whether the patients' characteristics and IBD‐related variables were associated with an IBD‐DI score ≤3.5. Statistically significant variables in the univariate analyses were then included in a multivariate regression model. Correlations between IBD‐DI and all the above mentioned characteristics were investigated using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results We included 201 patients. A positive correlation was observed between IBD‐DI and IBDQ (r = 0.82, P < 0.001). Multivariate regression modelling identified the following as independent factors related to disability: active disease (partial Mayo score ≥2) (odds ratio [OR] 6.54, 95% CI 3.21‐13.22), the presence of extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) (OR 2.48, 95%, CI 1.11‐5.54) and occasional alcohol consumption (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.20‐0.76). Conclusions Impaired disability is mainly correlated with disease activity, the presence of EIM and no alcohol consumption. Moreover, there is a strong correlation with patients' quality of life. Therefore, in clinical practice, greater awareness of IBD‐related disability is needed to better manage patients' outcomes.

“…Studies conducted in other countries have primarily aimed at evaluating the validity, reliability and sensitivity of the quality of life disease-specific instrument, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), though not being designed to measure the impact of the diseases themselves on the subjects. The influence of disease activity on the association between mood disorders and IBD is unclear (9) . Few studies have used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) instrument to estimate the influence of these diseases on the psychological aspects of patients (7,(9)(10)(11)(12) .…”

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease frequently affects patients at working age, compromising their quality of life in several levels: physical, psychological, familial and social. Few studies have evaluated the impact of Inflammatory bowel disease on quality of life, anxiety and depression in Brazilian patients. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate quality of life and its correlation with psychological aspects of patients with inflammatory bowel disease through the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. METHODS: Cross-sectional study; Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, Short Form-36 and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were applied to consecutive outpatients in a tertiary referral center for inflammatory bowel disease. Harvey-Bradshaw Index and Truelove scores were used to evaluate Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis activity. Sample calculation: 113 patients for a significance level of 5%, power of 90% and a correlation coefficient of at least 0.3 between scales. Statistical analysis: Student-t test, Pearson and Spearman correlations. RESULTS: One hundred twenty patients participated in the study; mean age: 41.7 years; female: 58.3%; Crohn’s Disease: 69 patients. No low scores for quality of life were found across the four Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire domains; the Short Form-36 showed low scores in physical limitations (47.2±42.4) and emotional aspects (49.8±43.4); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score presented a mean of 9.5±2.7 for anxiety and 8.7±2.0 for depression. Quality of life was decreased and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale did show increased indices of anxiety and depression, in both diseases only when clinically active. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale showed that outpatients of a tertiary care center for inflammatory bowel disease in Brazil presented good quality of life. The worst quality of life was associated with the intensity of the disease activity.
