- INTRODUCTION: To determine the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with celiac disease (CeD) (and vice versa ) compared with general-population comparators. METHODS: Using Swedish histopathology and healthcare register data, we identified 48,551 patients with CeD and 83,529 with IBD diagnosed in 1969-2016. Each patient was compared with age- and sex-matched general-population comparators (CeD: n = 240,136; IBD: n = 408,195). Cox regression estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for IBD in patients with CeD and vice versa . Our main analyses were limited to events beyond the first year of follow-up to reduce potential surveillance bias. RESULTS: During follow-up, 784 (1.6%) patients with CeD were diagnosed with IBD compared with 1,015 (0.4%) matched comparators. In patients with CeD, the HR for IBD was 3.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.56-4.31), with largely similar HRs for Crohn's disease (4.36; 3.72-5.11) and ulcerative colitis (3.40; 3.00-3.85). During follow-up, 644 (0.8%) patients with IBD and 597 (0.1%) comparators were diagnosed with CeD. The HR for CeD in patients with IBD was 5.49 (95% CI 4.90-6.16), with the highest risk estimates seen in ulcerative colitis (HR = 6.99; 6.07-8.05), and the HR for Crohn's disease was 3.31 (2.69-4.06). In patients with CeD and IBD, the diagnostic interval was usually <1 year; however, HRs of 3-4 were seen even after 10 years of follow-up. During 20 years of follow-up, 2.5% of patients with CeD developed incident IBD, and 1.3% of patients with IBD developed CeD. DISCUSSION: The bidirectional association between CeD diagnosis and IBD warrants attention in the initial assessment and follow-up of these conditions. Their co-occurrence, independent of temporal sequence, suggests shared etiology. Copyright © 2022 by The American College of Gastroenterology.

- INTRODUCTION: Mortality concern is a frequent driver of care seeking in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Data on mortality in IBS are scarce, and population-based studies have been limited in size. We examined mortality in IBS. METHODS: A nationwide, matched, population-based cohort study was conducted in Sweden. We identified 45,524 patients undergoing a colorectal biopsy at any of Sweden’s 28 pathology departments and with a diagnosis of IBS from 2002 to 2016 according to the National Patient Register, a nationwide registry of inpatient and outpatient specialty care. We compared the mortality risk between these individuals with IBS and age- and sex-matched reference individuals (n 5 217,316) from the general population and siblings (n 5 53,228). In separate analyses, we examined the role of mucosal appearance for mortality in IBS. Finally, we examined mortality in 41,427 patients with IBS not undergoing a colorectal biopsy. Cox regression estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for death. RESULTS: During follow-up, there were 3,290 deaths in individuals with IBS (9.4/1,000 person-years) compared with 13,255 deaths in reference individuals (7.9/1,000 person-years), resulting in an HR of 1.10 (95% confidence interval [CI] 5 1.05–1.14). After adjustment for confounders, IBS was not linked to mortality (HR 5 0.96; 95% CI 5 0.92–1.00). The risk estimates were neutral when patients with IBS were compared with their siblings. The underlying mucosal appearance on biopsy had only a marginal impact on mortality, and patients with IBS not undergoing a colorectal biopsy were at no increased risk of death (HR 5 1.02; 95% CI 5 0.99–1.06). DISCUSSION: IBS does not seem to confer an increased risk of death. Copyright © 2020 by The American College of Gastroenterology.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose Depression and anxiety afflict millions worldwide causing considerable disability. MULTI-PSYCH is a longitudinal cohort of genotyped and phenotyped individuals with depression or anxiety disorders who have undergone highly structured internet-based cognitive-behaviour therapy (ICBT). The overarching purpose of MULTI-PSYCH is to improve risk stratification, outcome prediction and secondary preventive interventions. MULTI-PSYCH is a precision medicine initiative that combines clinical, genetic and nationwide register data.Participants MULTI-PSYCH includes 2668 clinically well-characterised adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) (n=1300), social anxiety disorder (n=640) or panic disorder (n=728) assessed before, during and after 12 weeks of ICBT at the internet psychiatry clinic in Stockholm, Sweden. All patients have been blood sampled and genotyped. Clinical and genetic data have been linked to several Swedish registers containing a wide range of variables from patient birth up to 10 years after the end of ICBT. These variable types include perinatal complications, school grades, psychiatric and somatic comorbidity, dispensed medications, medical interventions and diagnoses, healthcare and social benefits, demographics, income and more. Long-term follow-up data will be collected through 2029.Findings to date Initial uses of MULTI-PSYCH include the discovery of an association between PRS for autism spectrum disorder and response to ICBT, the development of a machine learning model for baseline prediction of remission status after ICBT in MDD and data contributions to genome wide association studies for ICBT outcome. Other projects have been launched or are in the planning phase.Future plans The MULTI-PSYCH cohort provides a unique infrastructure to study not only predictors or short-term treatment outcomes, but also longer term medical and socioeconomic outcomes in patients treated with ICBT for depression or anxiety. MULTI-PSYCH is well positioned for research collaboration.

Risk of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis in Patients With Celiac Disease : A Population-Based Cohort Study
- 2022
-
In: American Journal of Gastroenterology. - : Wolters Kluwer. - 0002-9270 .- 1572-0241. ; 117:12, s. 1971-1981

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- INTRODUCTION: Celiac disease (CD) is associated with many immune-mediated conditions, but a definitive epidemiological association between CD and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been established. We quantified the risk of JIA and RA among patients with CD using a population-based cohort.METHODS: We identified patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven CD between 2004 and 2017 using data from a national histopathology cohort in Sweden. Each patient was matched by age, sex, calendar year, and geographic region to reference individuals in the general population. We calculated the incidence and estimated the relative risk, through Cox proportional hazards models, of JIA in individuals with CD aged ≥18.RESULTS: We identified 24,014 individuals with CD who were matched to 117,397 reference individuals from the general population. Among individuals aged <18, the incidence rate of JIA was 5.9 per 10,000 person-years in patients with CD and 2.2 per 10,000 person-years in the general population (n events = 40 and 73, respectively; hazard ratio [HR] 2.68, 95% confidence interval 1.82-3.95) over a follow-up of 7.0 years. Among individuals aged >= 18, the incidence of RA was 8.4 per 10,000 person-years in CD and 5.1 per 10,000 person-years in matched comparators (n events = 110 and 322, respectively; HR 1.70, 95% confidence interval 1.36-2.12) over a follow-up of 8.8 years.DISCUSSION: Among children with CD, JIA develops nearly 3 times as often as it does in the general population, and among adults with CD, RA occurs nearly 2 times as often. Clinicians caring for patients with CD with joint symptoms should have a low threshold to evaluate for JIA or RA.

Chronic Constipation as a Risk Factor for Colorectal Cancer: Results From a Nationwide, Case-Control Study
- 2022
-
In: Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1542-3565. ; 20:8, s. 1867-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background & Aims: Prolonged colon transit times may increase the contact time between potential carcinogens in the stool and the colonic mucosa. Nonetheless, previous studies have yielded conflicting results connecting chronic constipation with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). We examined the association between chronic constipation and later CRC. Methods: In this nationwide case-control study, we identified 41,299 CRC cases by colorectal biopsy in Sweden between July 2007 and December 2016 and matched them to 203,181 age- and sex-matched controls from the general population. We compared odds of earlier chronic constipation (defined as ≥2 laxative prescriptions in the Prescribed Drug Register with ≥6 months between the first and last prescription) between CRC cases and controls using logistic regression. In separate analyses, we compared odds of earlier constipation between CRC cases and sibling comparators, but also examined earlier risk of having an inpatient/outpatient specialty diagnosis of chronic constipation before CRC. Results: Overall, 3943 patients with CRC met our criteria for chronic constipation before CRC. The crude proportion of chronic constipation in CRC patients was 9.5% compared with 8.8% in controls. After multivariable adjustment, there was a modest association between chronic constipation and later CRC (odds ratio [OR], 1.10; 95% CI, 1.06–1.14) that vanished using sibling comparators to control for residual confounding (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.97–1.13). In a sensitivity analysis of 126,650 CRC patients diagnosed from 1989 to 2016, we found no association with earlier chronic constipation diagnosed in inpatient/outpatient specialty clinics (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.75–1.04). Conclusions: In a nationwide case-control study, chronic constipation was not associated with later CRC. © 2021 AGA Institute

Diagnostic yield of endoscopy in irritable bowel syndrome: A nationwide prevalence study 1987-2016
- 2021
-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction: : Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are common reasons for endoscopic procedures. We examined the yield of colonoscopy and upper endoscopy in IBS for several organic diseases. Methods:: Matched population-based prevalence study in Sweden. We identified 21,944 participants diagnosed with IBS from 1987 to 2016 undergoing colonoscopy with a biopsy from all of Sweden's 28 pathology departments within 6 months of diagnosis. We compared prevalence of histopathology-proven diagnoses of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer, precancerous polyps, and microscopic colitis between patients recently diagnosed with IBS and matched controls without IBS (n = 81,101) undergoing colonoscopy. We also compared prevalence of celiac disease between patients diagnosed with IBS (n = 9,965) and matched controls (n = 45,584) undergoing upper endoscopy with biopsy. IBS patients were also compared to their siblings. Conditioned logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios (aORs). Results: : Biopsy-proven IBD was seen in 1.6% of IBS and in 5.9% of controls (aOR=0.21; 95%CI=0.19-0.24). The prevalence of precancerous polyps was 4.1% vs. 13.0% (aOR=0.28; 95%CI=0.26-0.30), colorectal cancer 0.8% vs. 6.3% (aOR=0.17; 95%CI=0.14-0.20) and celiac disease 1.9% vs. 3.4% (aOR=0.54; 95%CI=0.47-0.63). Conversely, the prevalence of microscopic colitis was 2.9% vs. 1.7% (a0R=1.77; 95%CI=1.61-1.95), with higher prevalence in older patients and patients with IBS with diarrhea. Yield of colonoscopy for precancerous polyps, colorectal cancer, and microscopic colitis increased by age. Our findings were consistent using unaffected siblings as the comparator group. Discussion: : The diagnostic yield of upper endoscopy and colonoscopy for organic disease is low in patients with a first-time diagnosis of IBS, though increases with age.
