Outcomes of Ileoanal Pouch Anastomosis in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Are Worse in the Modern Era: A Time Trend Analysis Outcomes Following Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite significant differences in surgical outcomes between pediatric and adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing colectomy, counseling on pediatric outcomes has largely been guided by data from adults. We compared differences in pouch survival between pediatric and adult patients who underwent total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).

Methods

This was a retrospective single-center study of patients with UC treated with IPAA who subsequently underwent pouchoscopy between 1980 and 2019. Data were collected via electronic medical records. We stratified the study population based on age at IPAA. Differences between groups were assessed using t tests and chi-square tests. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare survival probabili
