Abstract
Objective

Compare the proportions of use of biological therapy, surgeries, and hospitalizations between adults and pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)—patients.

Patients and methods

Observational, retrospective, and multicenter study. Data were collected from all consecutive IBD patients seen as outpatients or admitted to hospital, during 2015–2021, in two IBD tertiary centers in a South Brazilian capital. Patients with unclassified colitis diagnosis were excluded from this study. Patients were classified as having CD or UC and sub-categorized as adult or pediatric according to age. Data were analyzed using frequency, proportion, Fisher's exact test, and Chi-square test.

Results

A total of 829 patients were included: 509 with CD (378 adults/131 pediatric) and 320 with UC (225/95). Among patients with CD, no differences were observed for proportions of use of biological therapy (80.2% in pediatric vs. 73.3% in adults; P=0.129), surgery (46.6% vs. 50.8%; P=0.419), or hospitalization (64.9% vs. 56.9%; P=0.122). In UC, significant differences were observed for biological therapy (40.0% vs. 28.0%; P=0.048) and hospitalization (47.4% vs. 24.0%; P<0.001). No significant difference was observed in surgery rates (17.9% vs. 12.4%; P=0.219).

Conclusions

Biological therapy and incidence of hospitalization were greater among pediatric patients with UC, compared with adults; no difference was observed in the need for abdominal surgery. In CD, no significant difference was observed in the three main outcomes between the age groups.

Resumen
Objetivos

Comparar la proporción en la utilización de medicamentos biológicos, cirugías y hospitalizaciones entre pacientes adultos y pediátricos, portadores de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII)—enfermedad de Crohn (EC) y colitis ulcerosa (CU).

Pacientes y métodos

Estudio multicéntrico, retrospectivo y observacional. Fueron recopilados datos de todos los individuos con EII, consecutivamente atendidos de manera ambulatoria o internados, entre 2015-2021, en dos servicios terciarios en una capital del sur de Brasil. Los pacientes con diagnóstico de colitis indeterminada fueron excluidos del estudio. Los pacientes fueron calificados en portadores de EC y CU y en dos subgrupos según su franja etaria: adulta y pediátrica. Los análisis se realizaron por frecuencia, proporción, prueba exacta de Fischer y prueba de Chi-cuadrado.

Resultados

Un total de 829 pacientes fueron incluidos: 509 con EC (378 adultos/131 pediátricos) y 320 con CU (225/95). En la EC, no se constató diferencia en la utilización de medicamentos biológicos (80,2% en pediátricos vs. 73,3% en adultos; p=0,129), cirugías (46,6% vs. 50,8%; p=0,419) y hospitalizaciones (64,9% vs. 56,9%; p=0,122). En la CU, se observó una diferencia significativa en la utilización de medicamentos biológicos (40,0% vs. 28,0%; p=0,048) y hospitalizaciones (47,4% vs. 24,0%; p<0,001). No se evidenció diferencia significativa en la realización de cirugías (17,9% vs. 12,4%; p=0,219).

Conclusión

Se constató una mayor proporción en el uso de medicamentos biológicos y hospitalización en los pacientes pediátricos con CU, en comparación con los adultos. No se observaron diferencias en la necesidad de operaciones abdominales. En la EC, no hubo diferencias significativas al comparar los manejos, entre las franjas etarias.
