IBD: A Comorbidity of PSC Laura Raffals, MD, MS
The Spectrum of IBD1.6 Million Americans • ULCERATIVE COLITIS • Continuous inflammation • Colon only • Superficial inflammation • Variable involvement • Risk of cancer • Strictures (cancer) • Extraintestinal manifestations • CROHN’S DISEASE • Patchy inflammation • Mouth to anus involvement • Full-thickness inflammation • Variable involvement • Fistulas • Strictures • Extraintestinal manifestations Indeterminate colitis10-15%

Disease Extent • Crohn’s can involve any part of GI track • But colon alone in 20-30% • UC involves only the colon • But “backwash ileitis” in 7-15% • PSC-IBD • Is this its own entity?
Anatomic Distribution of CD Upper gut < 10% Small bowel alone 33% Ileocolonic 45% Colon alone 20%
CD: Clinical Patterns Fibrostenotic Inflammatory Fistulizing
CD: Clinical Patterns Fistulae and Abscesses
Anatomic Extent of UC Left-Sided Colitis Pancolitis Procto- sigmoiditis
PSC & IBD • 70% of PSC patients have IBD • 80% UC • 10% CD • 10% Indeterminate • 5% of IBD patients have PSC • All IBD patients should have liver enzymes tested annually
PSC-IBD • PSC-IBD is a unique entity • Relatively quiescent disease • Increased risk for colorectal cancer • IBD usually precedes PSC diagnosis (median 10 years) • PSC can develop after colectomy
PSC-IBD Characteristics • UC • Pancolitis • Rectal sparing and backwash ileitis • Right side > left side • CD • Often ileocolonic • Isolated small bowel disease is rare • Fibrostenotic and penetrating complications are rare • Are these often mischaracterized PSC-IBD patients?
PSC-IBDRelationship between colectomy and PSC • Early colectomy is associated with decreased risk for future liver transplantation • Colectomy prior to liver transplant associated with lower risk for recurrent PSC • IBD disease activity NOT associated with risk of recurrent PSC after liver transplant
What is the link between IBD & PSC • We don’t know • Bile acids • “Leaky gut” • Gut dysbiosis • Lymphocyte homing • Genetics
Risk of colorectal cancer in PSC • Risk of CRC is higher in IBD compared to general population • Patients with PSC-IBD at greater risk of CRC compared to IBD alone • Pancolitis and inflammation are additional risk factors for CRC
CRC screening guidelines • Colonoscopy should be done in all patients at time of PSC diagnosis if no history of IBD • If no colitis, continue colonoscopies every 3-5 years • In patients with PSC-IBD, annual colonoscopy • Chromoendoscopy • Colectomy is recommended if CRC or high grade dysplasia

Better Treatment StrategiesAre Essential for Improving Clinical Outcomes 1. Early intervention 2. Individualized treatment
Predicting the course of disease: • Treatment goals individualized based on disease activity & severity, patient goals and risks • We can’t undo the past • We can impact the future Defining the likely course of disease Disease activity: How is the patient now? PROs & objective markers Disease severity: What has been the patient’s disease course?
New Paradigm: Treating beyond symptoms Symptom severity Step-up approach Top-down approach
Better Treatment StrategiesAre Essential for Improving Clinical Outcomes 1. Early intervention 2. Individualized treatment 3. Treat to target 4. Tight control monitoring
Evolving goals of therapy for IBD: sustained deep remission Goal Clinical parameters Outcomes Response Improved symptoms Improved QoL No symptoms Decreased hospitalization Remission Normal labs Normal endoscopy Avoidance of surgery Deep remission Mucosal healing Minimal/no disability SUSTAINED DISEASE CONTROL
Therapeutic Decision Making in IBD is Individualized in Every Patient RISKS OF UNDER- TREATMENT RISKS OF OVER- TREATMENT • Infections • Lymphoma • Other rare AEs • Cost • Corticosteroid exposure • Complications - Fibrostenosis / Penetrating • Hospitalizations and surgeries • Colorectal cancer • Disability / Absenteeism • Reduced QOL

Preventive Care • IBD patients do not receive preventive services at same rate as general medical patients • IBD patients on immunomodulators or biologics have unique needs • Vaccinations • Screening for osteoporosis • Cervical cancer • Skin cancer • Depression/anxiety • Smoking cessation Farraye F, et al.
