Abstract
PURPOSE: Crohn's colitis carries a risk for permanent stoma with extirpation of the rectum. We aimed to estimate the proctectomy rate and identify risk factors for proctectomy in patients with Crohn's colitis. METHODS: For this study, we retrospectively reviewed data from consecutive patients with Crohn's disease (CD) affecting the colon or anorectal region undergoing bowel resection in a reference colorectal centre between 2006 and 2016. The cumulative risk for proctectomy was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. We used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to determine independent risk factors for proctectomy. Outcomes after proctectomy concerning reoperation frequency and perineal wound healing are also described. RESULTS: In total, this study included 125 patients. Proctectomy was performed in 36 patients (28.8%), of whom 14 patients (38.9%) experienced perineal wound healing problems. The rates of proctectomy were 5.6% and 32.0% 10 and 20 years after CD diagnosis, respectively. Female gender (odds ratio (OR) 3.375, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.304-8.733, P = 0.012), disease duration (OR 1.067, 95% CI 1.011-1.126, P = 0.018) and history of perianal disease (OR 3.160, 95% CI 1.215-8.219, P = 0.018) were independent risk factors for a proctectomy procedure, whereas thiopurine medication (OR 0.170, 95% CI 0.060-0.486, P = 0.001) was an independent protective factor for proctectomy. CONCLUSIONS: The duration of Crohn's disease, female gender and a history of perianal disease were significant risk factors for a proctectomy procedure. Future research should examine whether immunosuppressive and biological medications reduce the risk for proctectomy.
