- W2778575734 abstract "Background & AimsEpithelioid granulomas are characteristics of a subset of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), but their significance, with regard to disease progression and severity, is unclear. We investigated the relationship between granulomas and CD severity over a 6-year time period in a large cohort of patients.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of patients with CD seen at the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center at the University of Pittsburgh; data were collected from 2009 through 2014 and patients were assigned to groups with and without histologic evidence of granuloma. Demographic, clinical (including disease activity, quality of life, medication use, and healthcare utilization), and laboratory data were used in association and survival analyses. Differences between groups were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous variables.ResultsOf 1466 patients with CD, granulomas were identified in 187 (12.8%). In the subset of patients who underwent surgery, 21.0% had granulomas. The presence of granuloma was associated with increased serum levels of c-reactive protein (odds ratio [OR], 2.9; 95% CI, 2.078–4.208; P < .0001), younger mean age at diagnosis (23.6 ± 11.3 years in patients with granulomas vs 27.9 ± 13.3 years in patients without; P = .0005), higher rates of stricturing or penetrating disease phenotype, higher rates of steroid and narcotic use, and higher healthcare utilization. Among patients that underwent surgery, the presence of granulomas was associated with need for repeat surgery during the 6-year observation period (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.54–4.02; P = .0002). Infliximab use was associated with detection of granuloma in a significantly lower proportion of surgical specimens compared to patients who had not been treated with a biologic agent (OR, 0.22; 95 CI, 0.05–0.97; P = .03).ConclusionsEpithelioid granulomas develop in less than 13% of patients with CD, and are associated with a more aggressive disease phenotype. Patients who have undergone surgery for CD and have granulomas are at increased risk for repeat surgery within 6 years.
