Abstract
Objectives: Elderly hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flare and concurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) are considered at high risk of IBD-related complications. We aimed to evaluate the short, intermediate, and long-term post-discharge complications among these patients.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort study assessing outcomes of elderly individuals (≥60 years) hospitalized for an IBD flare who were tested for CDI (either positive or negative) and discharged. The primary outcome was the 3-months post-discharge IBD-related complication rates defined as: steroid dependency, re-admissions (emergency department or hospitalization), IBD-related surgery, or mortality. We assessed post-discharge IBD-related complications within 6-months and mortality at 12-months among secondary outcomes. Risk factors for complication were assessed by multivariable logistic regression.
Results: In a cohort of 654 patients hospitalized for IBD (age 68.9 [interquartile range {IQR}]:63.9-75.2) years, 60.9% ulcerative colitis), 23.4% were CDI-positive. Post-discharge complication rates at 3 and 6-months, and 12-months mortality, did not differ significantly between CDI-positive and CDI-negative patients (32% vs. 33.1%, p=0.8; 40.5% vs. 42.5%, p=0.66; and 4.6% vs. 8%, p=0.153, respectively). The Charlson comorbidity index was the only significant risk factor for complications within 3-months (aOR 1.1), whereas mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid [5-ASA]) use was protective (aOR 0.6). An ulcerative colitis diagnosis was the sole risk factor for complication at 6-months (aOR 1.5). CDI did not significantly impact outcomes or interact with IBD type.
Conclusions: In elderly IBD patients hospitalized for IBD flare and subsequently discharged, a concurrent CDI infection was not associated with post-discharge IBD-related complications or mortality up to 1-year.
