Abstract
Purpose of review: Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the elderly requires special attention to treatment efficacy while considering drug safety, other medical comorbidities, and the patients' risk for treatment related adverse events. In this article, we reviewed the indications and safety of the newer IBD therapies in the older IBD patient beyond anti-TNF agents, thiopurines, and corticosteroids.
Recent findings: Vedolizumab, ustekinumab, and risankizumab have favorable side effect profiles with regards to infections and malignancy. Ozanimod has a favorable side effect profile with regards to infection and malignancy, however cardiac events and macular edema are potential risks. Tofacitinib and upadacitinib are associated with an increased risk of serious infections, herpes zoster, malignancy, and have potential for an increased risk of cardiac events and thrombosis. From a safety profile perspective, vedolizumab, ustekinumab, and risankizumab should be considered first line treatment options for moderate-to-severe IBD in the elderly. Risk-benefit discussions are indicated for ozanimod, tofacitinib, and upadacitinib.
期刊介绍:
As the field of gastroenterology and hepatology rapidly evolves, the wealth of published literature can be overwhelming. The aim of the journal is to help readers stay abreast of such advances by offering authoritative, systematic reviews by leading experts. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors who invite international experts to contribute review articles that highlight recent developments and important papers published in the past year. Major topics in gastroenterology are covered, including pediatric gastroenterology, neuromuscular disorders, infections, nutrition, and inflammatory bowel disease. These reviews provide clear, insightful summaries of expert perspectives relevant to clinical practice. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
