Familial Occurrence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Celiac Disease

2003

BACKGROUND The authors have previously reported a possible increased risk of the familial occurrence of Crohn's disease in patients with celiac disease. AIM The aim of the current study was to evaluate in a case-control study the familial occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in first-degree relatives of patients with celiac disease. METHODS One hundred eleven consecutive patients with biopsy-proven celiac disease were interviewed to ascertain whether IBD was present in first-degree relatives. The number of relatives, their ages, and possible IBD status were collected in a questionnaire. When a diagnosis of familial IBD was reported, the diagnosis was checked in the hospital record…

Prevention of postsurgical relapse and recurrence in Crohn's disease

2003

After first resection in Crohn's disease at 1 year 60-80% of patients have endoscopic recurrence, 10-20% have clinical relapse, and 5% have surgical recurrence. 1,2 This review focuses on the actual evidence on the prevention of recurrence and relapse dealing with risk factors and with drugs. Smoking is the only risk factor for Crohn's disease, that has been shown to be related to both endoscopic and surgical recurrence and relapse. Among the different drugs evaluated, some (Mesalamine and Metronidazole) have been shown to be effective, whereas others (immunosuppressive) need to be evaluated in further, new trials.

Cancer in Crohn's Disease patients treated with infliximab: a long-term multicenter matched pair study

2011

Background: The long-term risk of neoplasia in Crohn's disease (CD) patients treated with infliximab is undefined. The aim was to assess, in a multicenter, matched-pair study, whether infliximab use in CD is associated with an increased frequency of neoplasia in the long term. Methods: A multicenter, long-term, matched-pair study was conducted in 12 referral inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) centers. An initial cohort of 808 CD patients, including 404 infliximab-treated (CD-IFX) and 404 matched CD controls never treated with infliximab (CD-C) studied from 1999 to 2004, was followed up for an additional 4 years (2004–2008). Cases and controls were matched for: sex, age (±5 years), CD site, fo…
