Background: COVID-19 vaccinations have been shown to be effective in reducing risk of severe infection, hospitalization, and death. They have also been shown to be safe and effective in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are receiving biologic therapies. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of vaccination among patients receiving biologic therapies for IBD. Methods: A single-center prospective cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care inflammatory bowel disease center in Kuwait. Data from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who attended the gastroenterology infusion clinic from 1 June 2021 until 31 October 2021 were retrieved. Patients who received infliximab or vedolizumab at least six weeks before recruitment were included. The primary outcome was prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination. The secondary outcome was to assess whether prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination differed based on sex, age, type of biologic therapy and nationality. Results: The total number of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients enrolled in the study was 280 (56.0% male and 44.0% female). Of the total, 112 (40.0%) patients were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and 168 (60.0%) with Crohn’s disease. The number of ulcerative colitis patients who were vaccinated was 49 (43.8%) and the number of Crohn’s disease patients who were vaccinated was 68 (40.5%). The median age was 33.2 years and BMI was 24.8 kg/m2. With respect to the total number of patients, 117 (41.8%) were vaccinated with either BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and 163 (58.2%) were not vaccinated. Female patients were more likely to receive the vaccine compared to male patients (83.0% vs. 63.8%, p < 0.001). In addition, patients above the age 50 were more likely to receive the vaccine than patients below the age of 50 (95.6% vs. 31.2% p < 0.001). Expatriates were more likely to receive the vaccine than citizens (84.8% vs. 25.0%, p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between patients on infliximab and vedolizumab with regard to prevalence of vaccination (40.0% vs 48.0%, p = 0.34). Conclusion: The overall prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on biologic therapies was lower than that of the general population and world health organization (WHO) recom-mendation. Female patients, patients above the age of 50, and expatriates were more likely to receive the vaccine. Physicians should reinforce the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines among patients, especially IBD patients on biologic therapies, who express hesitancy towards them.

Curriculum Topics

This chapter covers core curriculum topics relating to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colonic disorders. A diagnostic approach to IBD is covered including the role of imaging, endoscopy, histopathology and clinical features. Pathophysiology and epidemiology of IBD is detailed. Management of Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease includes assessment of disease severity, imaging modalities and therapeutic management. Particular focus is given to therapeutic drug monitoring and indications for biologic therapies. Surgical management of IBD is broadly covered including indications, timing and approach. Coverage is also given to the diagnosis and management of extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD, IBD in special situations (pregnancy, elderly, transition) and the prevention of cancer in IBD. Colorectal cancer and benign conditions including constipation, functional gut disorders and other colitides are also featured.

Abstract Background Nonadherence to medications is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can result in disease complications, therapy escalation, and the need for corticosteroids. The aim of this study was to assess adherence to self-administered (subcutaneous) biologic medications prescribed for IBD and to identify risk factors for biologic nonadherence. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed on IBD patients starting and receiving subcutaneous biologic therapies from January 2016 to July 2019. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed and demographic and IBD data were collected. A modified medication possession ratio (mMPR) was calculated for the first 12-month treatment and at the end of follow-up (global-42 months). Nonadherence was defined as mMPR of less than 90%. Multiple regression analysis was performed to assess risk factors associated with non-adherence therapy Results A total of 154 patients (84M/70F; mean age starting biologic treatment 36 ±14 years; Crohn’s disease n = 118/ ulcerative colitis n = 31/ indeterminate colitis n = 5) were included; 121 received Adalimumab (ADA) and 33 were on Ustekinumab (UST); 63% of patients were naive to anti-TNF and 16.9% had received &gt;2 previous biological treatment. Mean time from IBD diagnosis to use of subcutaneous biological agent was 16 ± 10 months. Mean time of subcutaneous agents use was 17.6(SD11.0) and 17.08 (SD6.8)months for ADA and UST, respectively. Global nonadherence (n = 154) (≤90% mMPR) was 6.6% for all patients receiving subcutaneous treatment and 6.3% for ADA and 6.5% for UST. Nonadherence during first 12-month treatment (n = 98) was 6.1% for all patients and 2.7 % for ADA and 16% for UST, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, Ustekinumab use was independently associated with higher nonadherence only for first 12-months adherence (OR 6.7, 95% CI 1.1–39.5). Conclusion Self-administered biologic treatment showed adequate global adherence in our study. Using subcutaneous administration for biologic agents in IBD patients forces us to monitor and control their adherence to ensure the therapeutic benefit.
