A Doença de Crohn (DC) pode levar à desnutrição protéico-calórica (DPC) devido ao comprometimento das funções digestivas e absortivas do intestino delgado, associadas à influência de tabus alimentares. O diagnóstico de DPC em estágios iniciais pode ter impacto favorável no controle da DC. Os objetivos deste estudo foram os de estudar os diferentes métodos de avaliação nutricional em pacientes portadores da DC e correlacioná-los às características da doença. Participaram do estudo 75 pacientes do Serviço de Gastroenterologia do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, 37 do sexo masculino e 38 do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 38,2 anos (DP=13,3), em remissão (IADC <150) por mais de 3 meses, e que não estavam recebendo nutrição enteral ou parenteral. A avaliação nutricional foi realizada através de índice de massa corporal (IMC), prega cutânea do tríceps (PCT), circunferência do braço (CB), circunferência muscular do braço (CMB), avaliação subjetiva global (ASG), força do aperto da mão não dominante (FAM) e inquérito alimentar. Comparando os diferentes métodos de avaliação nutricional, 37,3% dos pacientes encontravam-se desnutridos pela PCT, 26,7% pela CB, 29,3% pela CMB, 18,7% pela ASG, 6,7% pelo IMC, enquanto que 73,3% deles em risco nutricional pela FAM. Os pacientes com sobrepeso e obesidade pelo IMC foram classificados como desnutridos pela PCT em 31,6% e 11,1%, e com risco nutricional em 73,7% e 77,8%, respectivamente. A prevalência de desnutrição é significativa em pacientes com DC, mesmo em remissão clínica. O IMC não deve ser utilizado como referência nesta população. A FAM detectou uma alta prevalência de risco nutricional em pacientes portadores de DC em remissão.Tornam-se necessários estudos que a correlacionem com métodos mais sensíveis, para avaliação do estado nutricional efetivo dos pacientes. / Crohn’s Disease (CD) may cause protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) either due to small bowel malfunction than to other factors, as poor intake and food taboos. Recognizing PCM in its early stages may help to control the disease. This study aimed at studying different assessment methods of CD patients’ nutritional status, and to correlate these methods to the disease. Seventy five CD patients of the Gastroenterology Service of Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), Rio Grande do Sul, being 37 males, with an average age of 38.2 (DP=13.3), in clinical remission (CDAI <150) for more than 3 months, and not receiving enteral or parenteral nutrition, were included. It was done a food recall and nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI), triceps skin fold (TSF), mid-arm circumference (MAC), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), subjective global assessment (SGA), and handgrip strength (HG). When the different nutritional status assessment methods were compared, we have found 26, 7% of the patients undernourished by MAC; 29, 3% by MAMC; 18, 7% by SGA; 6, 7% by BMI; 6, 67% by albumin; 14, 67% by transferrin; 37.3% by TSF and 73.3% were in nutritional risk by HGS. Out of the overweight and obese patients by BMI, 31.6% and 11.1% were respectively classified as undernourished by TSF, whereas 73.7% and 77.8% were considered in nutritional risk by HGS. Prevalence of malnutrition is significant in CD patients in clinical remission. BMI should not be used as reference in this population. HG detected the higher prevalence of nutritional risk in this population.

INTRODUÇÃO: O comprometimento pancreático em pacientes com Doença de Crohn (DC) é objeto de poucos estudos, porém as poucas séries sobre o assunto indicam um acometimento de uma parcela significativa dos pacientes, variando de 1,2% a 58%. O ultra-som endoscópico (EUS) apresenta a vantagem de apresentar uma sensibilidade muito maior que o ultra-som abdominal e a tomografia computadorizada. Quando comparado à colangiopancreatografia retrógrada endoscópica, este possui, além de uma maior sensibilidade, um índice de complicações significativamente menor. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a incidência de alterações pancreáticas ao ultra-som endoscópico em pacientes com Doença de Crohn, correlacionando com fatores clínicos, bioquímicos e endoscópicos. MÉTODOS: Cinqüenta e um pacientes com DC, com idade entre 18 e 60 anos (média de 38 anos), sem história prévia de doença pancreática, diabetes mellitus ou alcoolismo, foram submetidos ao exame de EUS. O grupo controle foi formado por 20 pacientes submetidos ao EUS e que não apresentavam história de doença pancreato-biliar ou de Crohn. Dados clínicos, endoscópicos e laboratoriais foram coletados para posterior correlação. Onze variáveis ecoendoscópicas foram analisadas, tanto ductais quanto parenquimatosas. Os pacientes com três ou mais alterações foram submetidos à colangiorressonância magnética (CRNM). Para análise da função pancreática, foi realizado dosagens de elastase fecal em 39 pacientes. RESULTADOS: Dos pacientes analisados, 56% pertenciam ao sexo feminino, com tempo médio de diagnóstico da enfermidade de 7 anos e índice de atividade da doença (CDAI) médio de 102. Dois pacientes, (3,9%) apresentaram quatro alterações ecoendoscópicas, três pacientes, (5,9%) possuíram três alterações, 11 pacientes, (21,5%) tiveram duas alterações e 13 pacientes, (25,5%) apresentaram apenas uma alteração ao EUS. As alterações parenquimatosas totalizaram 39 achados, contra 11 alterações ductais. Apenas três pacientes (16%) do grupo controle apresentaram uma alteração ecoendoscópica (p<0,001). Os pacientes com três ou mais alterações ao EUS realizaram a CRNM, que não mostrou alterações em nenhum dos casos. Quatro pacientes, (10%) apresentaram dosagens de elastase fecal compatíveis com insuficiência pancreática exócrina, sem apresentar correlação com a ecoendoscopia. O único fator preditivo correlacionado com o número de alterações ao EUS foi doença ileal exclusiva. CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes com DC possuíram uma alta incidência de anormalidades na morfologia pancreática (aproximadamente 10% com três ou mais alterações no EUS). Estas alterações foram localizadas predominantemente em parênquima, o que pode justificar a falta de correlação com a CRNM / BACKGROUND: Pancreas injury usually is not mentioned as an extra-intestinal manifestation of Crohns disease, but the few available series suggest pancreatic injury in a significant proportion of these patients, ranging from 1.2% to 58% in this series. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) presents the advantage of having a much higher sensitivity than the abdominal ultrasound or computadorized tomography in evaluating pancreas abnormalities. Compared to the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, EUS has at least an equal sensitivity, with a lower complication rate. AIMS: To evaluate the incidence of pancreatic alterations by means of the EUS in Crohns disease, correlating them with clinical, endoscopic and biochemical data. METHODS: Fifty one patients with Crohns disease, age between 18 and 60 years-old (mean = 38), without previous history of pancreatic disease, diabetes mellitus or alcoholism, were submitted to EUS. The control-group was formed by 20 patients submitted to EUS with no previous history of pancreatic or Crohns disease. Clinical, endoscopic and biochemical data were collected in order to determine possible predictive factors. Eleven variables were analyzed, both in pancreatic parenchyma and ducts. The patients with 3 or more alterations were submitted to magnetic resonance. Pancreatic function was determined using fecal elastase assay in 39 patients. RESULTS: Of the 51 analyzed patients, 56% were female, with mean diagnosis time of seven years (1-25) and Crohns disease Activity Index (CDAI) of 102 (20-419). Two patients (3.9%) presented 4 alterations in the EUS exam, 3 (5.9%) presented 3 alterations, 11 (21.5%) had 2 alterations and 13 (25.5%) had 1 alteration in the EUS, which were statistically significant when compared to the control-group, in whom only 16% presented 1 exam alteration (p<0.001). The parenchymal abnormalities were more common, totalizing 39 findings when compared to 11 ductal abnormalities. The patients with 3 or more alterations in the exam were submitted to magnetic resonance; however, pancreatic lesions were not detected. Four patients (10%) had low fecal elastase measurement, suggestive of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. None of these patients had significant pancreatic alterations in EUS. The only predictive factor that correlated with the number of alterations in EUS was isolated ileal disease. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Crohns disease had a higher incidence of pancreatic abnormalities (10% with 3 or more alterations in endoscopic ultrasound) in comparison to the control-group. These alterations were found most frequently in the pancreatic parenchyma, which might explain the lack of correlation with the magnetic resonance, which is more prone to detect duct abnormalities. The only predictive factor to these alterations on EUS was ileal disease

Introdução: Pacientes com Doença de Crohn (DC) apresentam alto risco de eventos tromboembólicos (TE), muitas vezes, associados a alta morbimortalidade. É conhecido o papel da inflamação na fisiopatologia da trombose na doença Inflamatória Intestinal (DII), entretanto, o significado da inflamação subclínica ainda se mantém obscuro na literatura. Este estudo avaliou o efeito da atividade endoscópica no perfil de coagulação dos pacientes com DC em remissão clínica. Métodos: entre os dias 22 de maio de 2015 e 26 de abril de 2017, foram triados 261 pacientes com DC em possível remissão clínica, sendo realizadas ao todo 229 colonoscopias. Das 229 colonoscopias realizadas, 164 pacientes estavam realmente em remissão clínica (confirmados com CDAI <= 150) e foram alocados em dois grupos: 75 no grupo de atividade endoscópica (AE) (SES-CD >= 7), 89 no grupo de remissão endoscópica (RE) (SES-CD <= 2). Cinquenta controles saudáveis pareados por sexo e idade foram eleitos. Medimos, nos 3 grupos, além da geração de trombina - pelo método Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT), com e sem trombomodulina, - a atividade do fator tecidual (FT), fibrinogênio, D-dímero, Fator VIII, ADAMTS-13, Fator de von Willebrand - antígeno e cofator de ristocetina (cWF). Coletamos dados sobre a duração da doença, extensão, comportamento, localização, tratamento farmacológico, história prévia de cirurgias, calprotectina fecal, qualidade de vida (por meio do IBDQ), além dos fatores de risco para TE, como hospitalização recente, uso de corticoide atual, status do tabagismo, assim como marcadores de trombofilia hereditária ou adquirida. Seguimos os pacientes por 1 ano de observação, avaliando a variação no CDAI e IBDQ no período. Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes apresentou comprometimento ileocolônico (43%), com comportamento inflamatório (40%), seguido de estenosante (30%) e fistulizante (30%). 67% estavam em uso de imunossupressores e 52% em uso de biológicos. Os fatores de risco para TE e todos os outros marcadores de trombofilia, incluindo deficiência de proteína C e S, anticardiolipina, resistência à proteína C, antitrombina, mutações da protrombina e do Fator V, foram semelhantes em ambos os grupos, exceto pelo anticoagulante lúpico, maior no grupo de AE (8,1% vs. 1,3%, p=0,047). Como esperado, o grupo de AE apresentou níveis significativamente maiores de PCR, calprotectina fecal e plaquetas. Além disso, este grupo apresentou uma maior atividade do fator tecidual vs. o grupo de RE vs. controles (127 vs. 103 vs. 84, p = 0,001). Embora o grupo DC tivesse maiores níveis de FVW:Ag e FVW:RCo, FVW/ADAMTS-13, Fator VIII e trombomodulina vs. controles, não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos de AE e RE. Os níveis de geração de trombina foram semelhantes entre os 3 grupos, com ou sem trombomodulina. Conclusão: Esses dados evidenciam que existe uma disfunção endotelial inerente à DC, e, que, em pacientes com AE, essa disfunção pode ser ainda maior pela maior exposição do FT. Embora, a presença de inflamação e dano endotelial contribuam para esse estado procoagulante, em pacientes com doença subclínica, há um estado de compensação permanente, uma vez que a quantidade de trombina gerada foi a mesma entre os grupos. Este equilíbrio pode estar comprometido diante de outros fatores tromboembólicos, aumentando, assim, o risco de trombose / Background: Crohn\'s disease patients (CD) have a high risk of thromboembolic events (TE), often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Involvement of inflammation in TE is well known, but significance of the sub-clinical inflammation in this process is not the rule. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the endoscopic activity in the coagulation profile in CD in clinical remission. Methods: Between May/2015 and April/2017, 261 CD patients in supposed clinical remission, were screened, and 229 had a colonoscopy done, resulting in the inclusion of 164 CD patients in clinical remission confirmed by a CDAI <= 150. They were allocated in two groups: 75 in the endoscopic activity (EA) group (SES-CD >= 7), and 89 in the endoscopic remission (ER) group (SES-CD <= 2). 50 healthy controls matched for sex and age were chosen. We measured in the 3 groups, in addition to the generation of thrombin - through the Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT), with and without thrombomodulin, - the activity of tissue factor (TF), fibrinogen, D-dimer, Factor VIII, ADAMTS-13 and von Willebrand Factor - antigen (VWF) and ristocetin cofactor (VWF:RCo). We collected data regarding the duration of the disease, extension, behavior, location, pharmacological treatment, previous history of surgeries, fecal calprotectin, quality of life (through IBDQ), as well as risk factors for TE such as recent hospitalization, current corticoid use, smoking status, as well as markers of hereditary or acquired thrombophilia. We followed the patients for 1 year of observation, evaluating the variation in CDAI and IBDQ. Results: Most of the patients had ileocolonic involvement (43%), with inflammatory behavior (40%), followed by stenosing (30%) and fistulizing (30%). 67% were in use of immunosuppressors and 52% in use of biological drugs. Risk factors for TE besides other markers of thrombophilia, including protein C and S deficiency, anticardiolipin, protein C resistance, antithrombin, prothrombin and Factor V mutations, were similar in both groups except for the lupus anticoagulant, higher in the EA group (8.1% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.047). As expected, the EA group had significantly higher levels of CRP, fecal calprotectin and platelets. In addition, this group had a higher activity of TF vs. ER group vs. controls (127 vs. 103 vs. 84, p = 0.001). Although the DC group had had higher levels of VWF and VWF:RCo, VWF/ADAMTS-13, Factor VIII and thrombomodulin vs. controls, there was no statistical difference between the EA and ER groups. Thrombin generation levels were similar between the 3 groups, with or without thrombomodulin. Conclusion: These data show that there is an inherent endothelial dysfunction in CD, moreover in patients with EA, this dysfunction may be even greater, due to the exposure of TF. Although the presence of inflammation and endothelial damage contribute to this procoagulant condition, in patients with subclinical disease, there is a permanent compensatory state, since the amount of thrombin generated was the same between the groups. This balance may be compromised by other thromboembolic factors, thus increasing the risk of thrombosis

Embora fatores psicológicos tenham sido inicialmente considerados participantes da etiologia da DC, esta hipótese foi descartada. Apesar de existirem evidências crescentes de que sintomas depressivos e ansiosos são muito frequentes em pacientes com DC, poucos dados a cerca da oscilação destes sintomas psicológicos durante o curso clínico da doença, particularmente em suas fases de remissão e recidiva estão disponíveis. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar em pacientes portadores de DC a possível ocorrência de oscilação do humor (sintomas depressivos e/ou ansiosos), bem como os possíveis fatores associados à mesma. Neste estudo prospectivo longitudinal 50 pacientes (30 mulheres e 20 homens, com média de idade de 40,6 anos e variação de 18 a 65 anos) com diagnóstico estabelecido de DC foram avaliados durante o período de agosto de 2009 a dezembro de 2010. As principais características sócio demográficas e clínicas relacionados à DC foram registradas. Adotou-se a classificação de Viena para determinação do fenótipo da DC e, para a atividade clinica, o índice de atividade da DC. Os sintomas depressivos e ansiosos foram avaliados por instrumentos de auto avaliação do estado psicológico, o Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IBD) e a Sub-escala de Ansiedade da Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS-A). Os instrumentos foram aplicados na inclusão no estudo e, a seguir, em intervalos de quatro meses, durante 12 meses subsequentes. A maioria dos pacientes apresentava o fenótipo inflamatório da doença (86%), 18(36%) já haviam se submetido a algum procedimento cirúrgico para tratamento de complicações da DC, sendo que 41(82%) pacientes estavam em remissão clínica na inclusão. Quatorze (28%) pacientes apresentaram humor depressivo de base e 28 (56%) sintomas de ansiedade. Oscilação do humor ocorreu em 29 pacientes (58%); destes 14 (28%) evoluíram com sintomas depressivos e/ou ansiosos a partir do humor normal de base, enquanto 15 (30%) apresentaram normalização do humor depressivo e/ ou ansioso de base. Dos 29 (58%) pacientes com oscilação do humor, 19 (38%) não apresentaram mudança na atividade clínica da doença (p=0,015), enquanto 10 (20%) tiveram alteração na atividade da DC, sendo que 5 (10%) apresentaram reativação da doença previamente em remissão e 5 (10%) remissão da doença que inicialmente encontrava-se em atividade. Os pacientes do sexo feminino e aqueles que não se apresentavam história de cirurgia prévia devido a complicações da DC exibiram significantemente maior oscilação do humor (p=0,04 para ambos). Observou-se uma tendência dos participantes que consumiam álcool a apresentarem maior oscilação do humor (p=0,06), embora o número de pacientes com ingestão alcoólica (n=3) foi pequeno para a análise estatística robusta. Neste estudo verificou-se elevada incidência (58%) de oscilação do humor em pacientes com DC. Não houve correlação entre a oscilação do humor com a mudança de atividade clínica da doença (p=0,15). Conclui-se que os pacientes do sexo feminino e aqueles que não se submeteram a cirurgia prévia devido a complicações da DC apresentaram significantemente maior oscilação do humor. Avaliação psicológica periódica pode ser útil para detecção e possível abordagem da oscilação do humor em pacientes com DC. / Introduction: Crohn Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease not curable until now. Although psychological issues have been initially considered participants in the etiology of CD this hypothesis was is currently discharged. There are rising evidence that depressive symptoms and anxiety are very frequently in these patients, but little data about humor oscillation and it influence in clinical course of the disease is available. Objective: Estimate the incidence of mood disorders in patients with CD and the possible issues associated with them. Methodology: This prospective longitudinal study evaluate 50 patients (60% female gender; mean age 40.6 yrs) with CD assisted by our institution in a 16 months period time. The clinic activity of the disease was measured by the Crohn’s Activity Index and the mood disorders by Beck Depression Inventory and Hospital Anxiety Scale. The instruments used to assess psychological status were applied in the inclusion and then each four months. Results: The major phenotype of CD found was the inflammatory (86%), 36% had a past history of surgery due to CD complications, 82% had no active disease in the admission period. Humor oscillation (HO) was observed in 58% of patients; 28% had depressive and or anxiety symptoms and 30% had normalization of their baseline depressive or anxiety humor. In 38% of the patients with HO there was no change in disease activity 9p:0.015), while 20% had some degree of variation in clinical activity. Female gender and the absence of previous surgery related to CD were associated with HO (p:0.04). Conclusion: Female gender and the absence of previous surgery due to CD’s complications were associated with HO. Periodically Female gender and previous surgery related to CD’s complication are associated with HO. Periodically psychological evaluation can be worthy for detection and management of HO patients with CD.

Mais recentemente, elas passaram a ser detectadas em frequência crescente em todos os continentes. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as características demográficas e fenótipos clínicos dos pacientes com DII no Nordeste brasileiro, referentes à época da confirmação do diagnóstico. Casuística e Método: Este é um estudo descritivo e transversal, o qual foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da UFPI. Foram incluídos censitariamente os pacientes com DII que faziam seguimento clínico em serviços especializados de hospitais universitários em todas as capitais do Nordeste do Brasil. As variáveis analisadas foram: as características demográficas e socioeconômicas, e os dados clínicos de DC e RCUI de acordo com a classificação de Montreal. As análises estatísticas incluíram: média, mediana e desvio padrão para variáveis quantitativas; teste do qui-quadrado (c2) de Pearson para análise das variáveis qualitativas. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: Foram incluídos 913 indivíduos com DII, sendo 486 (52,1%) com RCUI, 412 (44,2%) com DC e 35 (3,7%) com colite não classificada (CNC). A idade dos pacientes variou de 8 anos a 83 anos, média de 37,9 (DP = 14,4) anos, sendo 469 (50,3%) mulheres. Em todo o período estudado (1975 ¿ 2013), o atraso na confirmação diagnóstica foi de 31,0 meses. As características preponderantes dos pacientes com DC, segundo a classificação de Montreal foram: idade entre 17 e 40 anos (A2), localização com envolvimento de cólons (L2) e comportamento inflamatório (B1). Para os pacientes com RCUI, houve predomínio de pacientes com idade entre 17 e 40 anos e extensão da doença até ângulo esplênico (E2). Conclusão: Este estudo demonstrou que houve expressivo aumento na frequência de DC e RCUI na região Nordeste do Brasil nos últimos trinta anos / Abstract: Introduction: Usually, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), have been described in northern Europe, United States of America and Canada. In the last decades, IBD frequency has been also increased in all continents. The aim of the study was to analyze the demographic characteristics and clinical phenotypes of IBD in the northeastern of Brazil, according to the time of the diagnosis. Casuistic and methods: This is a cross-sectional study, which was approved by the Institutional Ethics and Research Committee. We included patients who were undergoing medical treatment for IBD in specialized centers in the Federal University Hospitals from all Northeasthern areas in Brazil. Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics were analyzed, as well as clinical data of CD and UC according to the Montreal classification. Statistical analyses included mean, median and standard deviations for quantitative variables, and the Pearson chi-square (c2) test for qualitative variables. The level of significance adopted was 5%. Results: A total of 913 patients with IBD were included, 486 (52,1%) with UC, 412 (44,2%) with CD and 35 (3,7%) with unclassified colitis (UnC). The ages ranged from 8 years to 83 years, mean 37.9 (SD = 14.4) years. Of the total, 469 (50.3%) were women. Throughout the study period (1975 ¿ 2013), the delay in diagnosis confirmation was 31.0 months. The predominant characteristics of CD patients, according to the Montreal classification were: age between 17 and 40 years (A1); colon location (L2); and inflammatory behavior (B1). For patients with UC, there was a predominant age between 17 and 40 years, and left colitis (E2). Conclusion: This study showed that there was significant increase in the frequency of IBD (CD and UC) in northeastern of Brazil over the past thirty years / Doutorado / Medicina Interna / Doutor em Ciências Médicas

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, nos pacientes com doença inflamatória intestinal, a prevalência e os fatores de risco da anemia suas possíveis etiologias. Neste estudo de corte prospectivo observacional foram recrutados: 100 pacientes portadores de Doença de Crohn e 100 pacientes portadores de Retocolite ulcerativa, diagnosticados e acompanhados regularmente no Centro de Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, para avaliação hematológica, bioquímica e imunológica. Foram obtidas amostras de sangue (20 ml) e realizados os seguintes exames em todos os pacientes: hemograma completo, VGM, HGM, CHGM, plaquetas, ácido fólico, vitamina B12, reticulócitos, índice de saturação da transferrina, ferritina, ferro sérico, PCR e VHS. Foram adotados para o diagnóstico de anemia os mesmos critérios da WHO (World Health Organization). Foi considerado Anemia por Deficiência de Ferro quando houve diminuição dos níveis séricos de ferro (< 37 μg/dl para mulheres e < de 59 μg/dl para homens), da ferritina (<30μg/l- na ausência de dados clínicos, laboratoriais ou endoscópicos de inflamação intestinal e < 100 μg/l - na presença de quaisquer destes dados), do índice de saturação da transferrina (<16%). Foi considerado Anemia da Doença Crônica quando houve diminuição dos níveis séricos de ferro (< 37 μg/dl para mulheres e < de 59 μg/dl para homens), aumento da ferritina (>100μg/l) e diminuição do índice de saturação da transferrina (<16%). - na presença de dados clínicos, laboratoriais ou endoscópicos de inflamação intestinal e Anemia Mista quando houve diminuição dos níveis séricos de ferro (< 37 μg/dl para mulheres e < de 59 μg/dl para homens) e ferritina entre 30 e 100μg/l. As anemias foram classificadas em hiporregenerativas quando a contagem absoluta de reticulócitos estava abaixo de 50000 e normoproliferativas ou normorregenerativas quando a contagem absoluta de reticulócitos estava acima de 100000/mm³. / Anemia difficult to treat is a clinical manifestation commonly seen in patients with inflammatory bowel disease , being responsible for significant impairment in quality of life of these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the prevalence and factors risk of anemia and possible etiologies of anemia in their possible occurrence. In this cross-sectional study of adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were recruited, of which: 100 patients with Crohn's disease and 100 patients with ulcerative colitis, diagnosed and regularly followed at the Center for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases , University Hospital, Federal University of Juiz de Fora , for haematological, biochemical and immunological evaluation. Blood samples ( 20 ml ) were obtained and the following examinations were performed in all patients: CBC, MCV, MCH , CHCM , platelets , folic acid, vitamin B12 , reticulocytes , transferrin saturation index , ferritin , serum iron, CRP and ESR . For the diagnosis of anemia the same criteria of WHO (World Health Organization) were adopted . Was considered Iron Deficiency Anemia when there was a decrease in serum iron levels ( < 37 mg / dl for women and < 59 g / dl for men ) , ferritin (< 30μg/l - in the absence of clinical, laboratory data or endoscopic intestinal inflammation and <100 mg / l - in the presence of any of these data) , the ratio of transferrin saturation (<16 %). Anemia was considered the Crohnic Disease Anemia when there was a decrease in serum iron levels (< 37 mg / dl for women and < 59 g / dl for men), elevated ferritin ( > 100μg / l ) and decreased transferrin saturation index (<16 %). - in the presence of clinical, laboratory and endoscopic data of intestinal inflammation and Mix Anemia when there was a decrease in serum iron levels ( < 37 mg / dl for women and < 59 g / dl for men) and ferritin between 30 and 100μg / l . Anemia were classified into hiporregenerative when absolute reticulocyte count was below 50,000 and normoproliferative or normorregenerative when the absolute reticulocyte count was above 100,000.

L’objectif de cette thèse est d’évaluer le risque d’accident artériel aigu chez les patients atteints de MICI et l’impact des traitements sur le risque à partir des bases de données médico administratives françaises PMSI et SNIIRAM. La prise en charge thérapeutique des patients atteints de MICI a été initialement étudiée afin de valider le code diagnostique dans les bases de données. L’exposition au traitement, les taux d’hospitalisation et de chirurgie sont similaires à ceux attendus et les taux d’incidence sont comparables à ceux rapportés dans d’autres populations. Les patients atteints de maladie de Crohn (MC) et rectocolite hémorragique (RCH) ont un surrisque d’accident artériel aigu comparé à la population générale. Le risque le plus élevé est observé chez les patients de moins de 55 ans. L’activité de la MICI est un facteur de risque indépendant d’accident artériel aigu, avec une magnitude d’effet similaire dans la MC et la RCH. Comparés aux patients non exposés, les patients exposés à la monothérapie thiopurines, anti-TNFs et combothérapie ont un risque moins élevé d’accident artériel aigu, mais cette différence est seulement significative chez les patients exposés à la combothérapie. La diminution du risque est la plus importante chez les hommes atteints de MC exposés à la combothérapie. La modulation du risque d’accident artériel aigu devrait être prise en compte dans la balance bénéfice-risque des traitements par thiopurines et anti-TNFs chez les patients atteints de MICI. / The risk of acute arterial events in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. The objectives of this thesis are to assemble a nationwide cohort of IBD patients based on the French administrative health databases, in order to assess the risk of acute arterial events in IBD and the impact of immunosuppressive treatment on the risk. Disease course and therapeutic management of IBD were first studied, in order to validate the coding diagnosis of IBD in the databases. Treatment exposure, hospitalisation, and surgery rates are similar to current standard of care and incidence rates are in the range of those reported in other populations. Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have an increased risk of acute arterial events compared with the general population. The highest risk is observed in patients under the age of 55 years. Disease activity is an independent risk factor of acute arterial events, with a similar magnitude of risk in CD and UC. Exposure to thiopurine and anti-TNF monotherapies, and combination therapy are all numerically associated with a decreased risk of acute arterial events compared to unexposed patients, although the difference is only statistically significant for patients exposed to combination therapy. The magnitude in risk reduction is highest in men with CD exposed to combination therapy. These studies support the concept that a tight control of inflammation is crucial in patients with IBD to avoid IBD-related systemic complications. Prevention of acute arterial events should be considered in the benefit-risk balance assessment of thiopurines and anti-TNFs treatment in IBD patients, according to age, sex and IBD subtype.

Les maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l'intestin (MICI) désignent deux affections, la maladie de Crohn (MC) et la rectocolite hémorragique (RCH). Ces maladies sont caractérisées par une grande disparité de répartition dans le monde et une forte augmentation de leur incidence depuis 50 ans. Leur physiopathologie fait intervenir une composition anormale du microbiote intestinal (appelée dysbiose), une dysfonction de la barrière épithéliale, un déficit de l'immunité innée et une dérégulation de l'immunité adaptative. Plus de 163 gènes de prédisposition ont été identifiés, mais la plupart d'entre eux ne sont associés qu'à une augmentation modeste du risque de MICI (Odds Ratios compris entre 1,02 et 1,2). Les facteurs d'environnement semblent jouer un rôle important dans la survenue de ces maladies. Le tabagisme a un effet démontré, favorable dans la RCH, néfaste dans la MC. L'exposition solaire, la vitamine D, l'alimentation, les agents infectieux et les médicaments ont été associés aux MICI mais leur effet est moins bien démontré. Cette thèse d'épidémiologie est consacrée aux MICI; plus précisément, à l'étude de leurs facteurs d'environnement, et au risque de cancer associé aux médicaments des MICI. Elle est fondée sur l'étude de bases de données françaises et européennes. Un premier travail a exploré l'association entre l'exposition à l'isotrétinoïne (médicament prescrit pour traiter l'acné) et la survenue de RCH, rapportée par une étude américaine. Cette étude cas témoin a été menée à l'échelle de la France entière à partir des données du système national d'information inter-régimes de l'assurance maladie (SNIIRAM). Dans ce travail très peu de patients atteints de MICI ont reçu de l'isotrétinoïne durant l'année précédant le diagnostic de la maladie. La prise d'isotrétinoïne n'est pas associée au risque de RCH mais inversement associée au risque de MC.Dans un deuxième travail, nous avons étudié l'impact gobal de l'alimentation en modélisant les profils alimentaires associés à la survenue de RCH et de MC dans la cohorte prospective européenne EPIC (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer). Un profil alimentaire riche “en produits sucrés et sodas” est associé à l'incidence de RCH dans le sous-groupe diagnostiqué au delà de 2 ans. Aucun profil alimentaire n'est associé au risque de MC. Le régime méditerranéen n'est ni associé à la RCH ni à la MCDans un troisième travail, nous nous sommes intéressés aux risques de cancer associés à l'exposition aux médicaments des MICI : immunosuppresseurs et anti-TNF. Leur prescription a beaucoup augmenté ces dernières années. Cependant ils ont été associés à un risque de lymphome, de cancer de la peau non mélanocytaire et de mélanome pour les thiopurines et les anti-TNF, respectivement. Nous avons évalué prospectivement le risque de cancer associé à ces médicaments, à l'échelle de la France entière dans des conditions de prescription courante, grâce aux données du SNIIRAM. Les résultats sont en en cours d'analyse.Notre thèse montre que l'étude des bases de données peut apporter une réponse à une question importante en pratique clinique , portant sur le lien entre isotrétinoïne et MICI. Notre travail a également permis de générer des hypothèses sur le lien entre les profils alimentaires et la survenue de MICI. Les limites de l'exercice (détaillées dans le manuscrit) ne doivent pas être sous estimées. Nos résultats suscitent des questions et appellent d'autres travaux, menés à une échelle encore plus vaste et avec d'autres méthodes statistiques. / Inflammatory bowel diseases refer to two conditions: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These diseases display an important geographic heterogeneity worldwide and an increase in incidence during the last fifty years. Their physiopathology is complex, involving anormal composition of gut microbiota (dysbiosis), dysfonction of epithelial barrier and dysregulation of innate and adaptative immune response. More than 163 predisposing genes have been identified, but most of them carry modest association with IBD (Odds ratios varrying from 1.02 to 1.3) (1–3). Environmental factors seem to play an important role in IBD onset. Smoking has a positive effect on UC and harmfull effect on CD. Sun exposure, vitamin D, diet, infections have been inconsistently associated with IBD. This epidemiology thesis is devoted to IBD and specifically, to environemental risk factors, and also to the risk of cancer associated to IBD drugs. It is based on French and European databases. Our first work, explored the association between isotretinoin and UC reported in a US study. Our study was performed in a case-control study in the whole French territory thanks to a medico-administrative database (SNIIRAM). In this work, only a few patients with IBD were exposed to isotetinoin in the year before disease onset. Exposure to isotretinoin was not associated with UC but negatively associated with CD.In a second study, we explored the global impact of diet on UC and CD in a European prospective study (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer (EPIC)). A dietary pattern with “high sugars and soft drinks” was associated with UC risk when restricted to cases diagnosed at least two years after dietary assessment. No dietary pattern was associated with CD. Mediterranean diet had no effect on UC nor CD risks.In the third part of this work, we investigated the risk of cancer associated with IBD drugs: immunosuppresive agents and anti-TNF. These medications are more and more prescribed nowadays. Howevere, they are associated with an increased risk of cancer in observationnal studies: lymphoma and non melanoma skin cancer with thiopurines and anti-TNF agents respectively. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the cancer risks associated with thiopurine and/or anti-TNF exposure in the whole French territory in the real life , using a medico-adminstrative database (SNIRAM). Currently, we are still analyzing the results.Our work shows that studying large databases can answer an important issue in clinical practice related to a potential link between isotretinoin and IBD. Also, it has generated hypotheses about the link between dietary pattern and IBD. Limitations of our work (detailed in the manuscript) should be considered.. Otr studies using larger databases and other statistical methods should address these limitations.

Hintergrund: Patienten mit chronischen entzündlichen Erkrankungen sind aufgrund ihrer Grundkrankheit, aber auch durch die häufig notwendige immunsuppressive Therapie gefährdet, an einer impfpräventablen Infektionskrankheit zu erkranken. In einer Stichprobe sollte der Impfstand bei Patienten mit chronisch-entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen (CED) erhoben werden. Besondere Beachtung galt Vorbehalten der Patienten gegen die empfohlenen Schutzimpfungen. Methoden: Wir baten 203 Patienten mit CED (davon 57% Mb. Crohn, 63% weiblich; medianes Alter 36 Jahre), die im letzten Jahr keine Impfberatung erhalten hatten, einen Fragebogen mit 38 Fragen zu beantworten. Zudem wurden alle Impfnachweise erfasst und mit den aktuellen Empfehlungen der Ständigen Impfkommission abgeglichen. Die Befragung erfolgte vom 1.4. bis 30.9.2009. Ergebnisse: Nur 83% der Patienten hatten einen Impfausweis. Es fanden sich erhebliche Impfdefizite; so wurden in den letzten zehn Jahren nur 67% der Patienten gegen Tetanus und 21% gegen Pertussis geimpft, 28% nahmen die Impfung gegen die saisonale Grippe 2008 wahr und nur 9% wurden jemals gegen Pneumokokken geimpft. Im Subgruppenvergleich von Patienten mit TNF-Blockern (n=39) mit denjenigen Patienten, die noch nie eine immunsuppressive Dauertherapie erhielten (n=67), zeigten sich keine Unterschiede. 80% der Patienten wären bereit, alle offiziell empfohlenen Schutzimpfungen durchführen zu lassen. 22% aller Patienten gaben an, Schutzimpfungen zu vermeiden, weil sie Nebenwirkungen befürchteten, 15% weil das Immunsystem „nicht intakt“ ist und 9% befürchten eine Verschlimmerung der CED durch eine Impfung. Schlussfolgerungen: Der Impfstand in der untersuchten Stichprobe war unzureichend. Es fand sich insbesondere eine deutliche Diskrepanz zwischen der hohen Bereitschaft der Patienten, Schutzimpfungen durchführen zu lassen, und dem tatsächlichen Impfstand. Unsere Daten legen die Notwendigkeit einer erhöhten ärztlicher Wachsamkeit für Impflücken bei immunsuppressiv behandelten Patienten nahe. / Background: Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases are at increased risk for vaccine preventable infectious diseases. This is caused by the inflammatory state itself as well as often necessary immunosuppressive therapy. In a random sample, we investigated whether patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are sufficiently vaccinated. Special attention was spent to arguments for vaccine refusal. Methods: Between 1.4.2009 and 30.9.2009, we asked 203 consecutive IBD patients (thereof 57% Crohn’s disease, 63% female; median age 36 years), who got no vaccination advise within the last year to answer a questionnaire with 38 questions. As well, the vaccination cards were adjusted with the official recommendations. Results: Only 83% of patients had a vaccination card. We recognized substantial vaccination deficiencies. Within the past 10 years, only 67% of patients had tetanus and 21% had pertussis vaccination. Only 28% had an influenza vaccination in 2008 and only 9% were ever immunized against pneumococcus. A subgroup analysis of patients with TNF-blockers (n=39) with patients, who never had immunosuppressive therapy (n=67) revealed no difference. 80% of all patients are willing to adhere to all officially recommended vaccinations. 22% and 15% of patients stated that they avoid vaccinations as they afraid side effects or as they assess their immune system as not intact. Nine per cent feared a worsening of IBD after vaccination. Conclusions: In this random sample, the adherence to vaccination recommendations was low. We observed a marked difference between the willingness of IBD patients for immunizations and the realized vaccinations. Our data suggest that an increased medical awareness for vaccination deficiencies in immunosuppressed patients is mandatory.

Bakgrund: IBD är en kronisk inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom som innefattar sjukdomarna ulcerös kolit och Crohns sjukdom. Sjukdomen har ökat kraftigt i förekomst de senaste tre decennierna, även i Sverige. En person som har en kronisk sjukdom får en påverkad tillvaro och behöver stöd utöver bara kunskap om sjukdomen för att kunna hantera den. Professionell attityd och empati är viktiga aspekter för att skapa ömsesidigt förtroende och respektfull vård för personer med IBD. Syfte: Litteraturstudiens syfte var att belysa personers (≥18 år) upplevelser av att leva med inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom (IBD). Metod: En litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats, som omfattade 11 vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ metodik, genomfördes. Databaserna CINAHL och PubMed användes för databassökning. Analysen genomfördes som en stegvis process inspirerad av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Personernas upplevelse av att leva med IBD sammanställdes i två kategorier; ‘Upplevelser ur ett inre perspektiv’ och ‘Upplevelser ur ett relationellt perspektiv’. Kategorierna delades därefter in i nio subkategorier; ‘Oförutsägbarhet och kontrollförlust’, ‘Oro för framtiden’, ‘Kroppsbild och stigma’, ‘Fysiska påfrestningar’, ‘Optimism’, ‘Sociala situationer’, ‘Familj och partner’, ‘Arbete samt ‘Sjukvård’. Konklusion: Personer med IBD upplever både fysiska och psykiska påfrestningar som kräver en helhetssyn i omvårdnaden. En individanpassad omvårdnad är avgörande för att upprätthålla förtroendet för vården och främja positiva resultat för personens behandling och hälsa. Sjuksköterskor bör vara lyhörda för de individuella behoven och ta hänsyn till de psykiska påfrestningar som sjukdomen kan bidra till. Det är också viktigt att skapa en trygg miljö för personerna, då sjuksköterskan kan fungera som en stödjande faktor vid sociala problem. Litteraturstudien visar därmed att omvårdnad spelar en betydande och värdefull roll i personers upplevelser av att leva med IBD. / Background: IBD is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. It has significantly increased in incidence over the past three decades, in Sweden as well. A person with chronic illness experiences an impacted life and requires support beyond just knowledge of the disease in order to be able to manage it. Professional attitude and empathy are important aspects to create mutual trust and respectful care for people with IBD. Aim: The aim was to illuminate people’s (≥18 years) experiences of living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Method: A literature review with a qualitative approach, which included 11 scientific articles with qualitative methodology. The databases CINAHL and PubMed were used for the database searching. The analysis was conducted as a stepwise process inspired by content analysis. Results: The people’s experience of living with IBD was compiled into two categories; ‘Experiences from an inner perspective’ &amp; ‘Experiences from a relational perspective’. The categories were then divided into 9 subcategories; ‘Unpredictability and loss of control’, ‘Anxiety about the future’, ‘Body image and stigma’, ‘Physical stress’, ‘Optimism’, ‘Social situations’, ‘Family and partner’, ‘Work’ and ‘Healthcare’. Conclusion: People with IBD experience both physical and psychological stress, which requires a holistic view in nursing. Individualized care is crucial to maintaining trust and promoting positive outcomes for a person's treatment and health. Nurses should be attentive to individual needs and consider the psychological impacts of the disease. Additionally, creating a safe environment is important, as nurses can act as a supportive factor in case of social problems. The literature review highlights the significant and valuable role of nursing care in the experiences of individuals living with IBD.
