This study found that enteric infection during flare, specifically Clostridioides difficile infection, is associated with worse IBD outcomes at 2 years. The relationship between E. coli subtypes at flare and subsequent IBD outcomes requires further investigation.
Background: Outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) following flare complicated by enteric infection (EI) are limited by follow-up duration and insufficient assessment of the role of non-Clostridioides difficile pathogens. We compared 2-year IBD outcomes following flare with and without EI. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults evaluated with stool PCR testing for IBD flare. Subjects were stratified by presence of EI at flare and were matched for age, sex, and date to those without EI. The primary outcome was a composite of steroid-dependent IBD, colectomy, and/or IBD therapy class change/dose escalation at 2 years. Additional analyses were performed by dividing the EI group into C. difficile infection (CDI) and non-CDI EI, and further subdividing non-CDI EI into E. coli subtypes and other non-CDI EI. Results: We identified 137 matched subjects, of whom 62 (45%) had EI (40 [29%] CDI; 17 [12%] E. coli). Enteric infection at flare was independently associated with the primary outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 4.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.62-11.5). After dividing EI into CDI and non-CDI EI, only CDI at flare was independently associated with the primary outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 4.04; 95% CI, 1.46-12.6). After separating E. coli subtypes from non-CDI EI, E. coli infection and CDI at flare were both independently associated with the primary outcome; other EI was not. Conclusions: Enteric infection at flare-specifically with CDI-is associated with worse IBD outcomes at 2 years. The relationship between E. coli subtypes at flare and subsequent IBD outcomes requires further investigation.
