BACKGROUND: Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and concomitant perianal disease (PAD) are occasionally seen, but the impact of PAD on UC outcome has been scarcely assessed. AIMS: To evaluate the prevalence, clinical features and outcomes of PAD among UC patients. METHODS: Patients with an initial diagnosis of UC who ever developed PAD were identified from three IBD hospital databases. Each case was matched by age, disease extent at diagnosis, and year of diagnosis, with two UC patients who never developed PAD. RESULTS: Thirty-seven UC patients (5% of the whole series) developed PAD (complex in about a half of them), being more frequent among men (62%), with distal (50%) or extense (34%) disease. Proximal spread of UC occurred in 19% of cases. No differences in demographic features, rate of proximal spread or colectomy during follow-up were found as compared to controls, but greater requirements of steroids (P=0.019) were detected in UC-PAD patients. A change in disease diagnosis occurred in 6 patients mainly because of transmural involvement in colectomy specimen, small intestinal involvement, and/or endoscopic appearance. CONCLUSIONS: PAD may occur in up to 5% of UC patients. When complex it leads to a change in disease diagnosis in one third of cases. UC-related therapeutic requirements are not increased in these patients, except for steroids. |
