PG - 1559-1568 LID - 10.1093/ibd/izz010 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Many patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are treated with medications, including steroids, immunomodulators, and anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-alpha) agents, at the time of surgery. This study evaluated the effects of these medications on postoperative complications in CD patients. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent bowel resection for CD between January 2006 and December 2015. Postoperative complications were defined as a Clavien-Dindo classification of grade 2A or higher within the first 30 days after surgery. RESULTS: Of the 817 patients enrolled, 687 patients received bowel resection and anastomosis without stoma formation. Of 687 patients, 381 (55.5%) were being treated with preoperative medications at the time of surgery (medication group) and 306 (44.5%) were not (nonmedication group). The overall rate of postoperative complications was not different between the medication and nonmedication groups (23.4% vs 21.9%, P = 0.36). Preoperative treatments with immunomodulators plus anti-TNF-alpha agents (relative risk [RR], 2.314; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.126-4.753; P = 0.022) and treatment with immunomodulators plus steroids (RR, 2.536; 95% CI, 1.124-5.725; P = 0.025) were risk factors for infectious complications. Preoperative treatments with immunomodulators plus anti-TNF-alpha agents (RR, 2.731; 95% CI, 1.102-6.769; P = 0.03) and treatment with immunomodulators plus steroids (RR, 3.118; 95% CI, 1.169-8.320; P = 0.023) were significantly associated with increased risk of intra-abdominal sepsis. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative treatments with immunomodulators plus anti-TNF-alpha agents or steroids were risk factors for infectious complications, especially intra-abdominal sepsis in patients who underwent bowel resection and anastomosis.
