Meta-analysis of the association of extraintestinal manifestations with the development of pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The presence of extraintestinal manifestations may be associated with the development of pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. The aim of this study was to assess this correlation.

Methods

A systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library. Studies published in English up to 22 May 2017 investigating the association between extraintestinal manifestations and development of pouchitis in adults with ulcerative colitis were included. Case reports were excluded. The association of extraintestinal manifestations with the development of overall and chronic pouchitis was investigated using a random-effects model.
