Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: Background/Aims
The prevalence of gallstone disease in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is higher than in the general population. However, risk factors of gallstone disease in these patients remain unclear. Thus, we investigated the prevalence and risk factors of gallstone disease in Korean patients with UC.
Methods
Patients diagnosed with UC who underwent abdominal imaging studies between 1997 and 2020 were investigated using a well-established referral center-based large volume inflammatory bowel disease cohort. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with gallstone disease were evaluated and compared with those without gallstone disease.
Results
Overall, 2,811 patients with UC were enrolled. During the follow-up period (mean, 5.7 years), 198 patients (7.0%) were diagnosed with gallstone disease and compared with those without gallstone disease (n = 2,613). The proportion of extensive colitis at maximum extent, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), history of cytomegalovirus, corticosteroid use, immunomodulatory use, colectomy, and appendectomy were significantly higher in the gallstone group (all P< 0.05). In multivariate analyses, age ≥ 60 years at gallstone evaluation (odds ratio [OR], 1.027; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.002–1.052; P= 0.033), PSC (OR, 6.304; 95% CI, 3.162–12.565; P< 0.001), and history of colectomy (OR, 2.494; 95% CI, 1.222–5.087; P= 0.012) were significant risk factors for gallstone disease in patients with UC.
Conclusions
The prevalence of gallstone disease in Korean patients with UC was 7.0%, and age ≥ 60 years at gallstone evaluation, PSC, and history of colectomy were significant risk factors for UC patients with gallstone disease.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

The introduction of device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) in the beginning of 21st century has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the small intestine. In contrast to capsule endoscopy, the other main diagnostic modality of the small bowel diseases, DAE has the unique advantages of observing the region of interest in detail and enabling tissue acquisition and therapeutic intervention. As DAE becomes an essential procedure in daily clinical practice, there is an increasing need for correct guidelines on when and how to perform it and what technical factors should be considered. In response to these needs, the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases developed an expert consensus statement on the performance of DAE by reviewing the current evidence. This expert consensus statement particularly focuses on the indications, choice of insertion route, therapeutic intervention, complications, and relevant technical points.
