Mo1818 ANTIBIOTIC EXPOSURE AND RISK OF NEW-ONSET INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND DOSE-RESPONSE META-ANALYSIS
Gastroenterology(2024)
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS:The association between antibiotic exposure and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains controversial, especially whether there is a dose-response relationship. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to thoroughly evaluate the risk of new-onset IBD associated with antibiotic exposure.
METHODS:Four databases were searched from their inception to September 30, 2023 for all relevant studies. The risk estimates were pooled together using random-effects models, and pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, stratified by IBD subtype, age, exposure period, study type, and antibiotic classes. Dose-response relationship between the number of antibiotic prescriptions and IBD risk was assessed using generalized least squares regression analysis.
RESULTS:Twenty-eight studies involving 153,027 patients with IBD were included. Antibiotic exposure was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset IBD for prescription-based studies (pooled OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.29-1.53) and for questionnaire-based studies (pooled OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.08-1.68). This association existed for both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as in children and adults for prescription-based studies. The majority of antibiotic classes were associated with an increased IBD risk, with metronidazole (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.38-2.10) and quinolones (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.37-1.77) having relatively higher risk estimates. A positive nonlinear dose-response association was observed between the number of antibiotic prescriptions and IBD risk.
CONCLUSIONS:Antibiotic exposure was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset IBD, and a positive nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed. Antibiotic stewardship may be important for reducing IBD risk.
