Case Presentation ET is a 36 yo woman with Crohn s colitis In 2008, she was diagnosed with left sided colitis treated with Asacol and steroids In 2012, stopped medications when she became pregnancy In 2014, she was seen as a new patient. She complaint of diarrhea 8 to 10 bowel movement a day, abdominal pain and weight loss. She started on Lialda 1/2015, EGD, colonoscopy and CT small bowel performed for ongoing symptoms. Colonoscopy with right sided inflammation with a stricture. Diagnosis of Crohn s disease Normal CT small bowel Started Humira Case Presentation 8/2015 repeat colonoscopy with stricture and active inflammation in the right colon. The stricture dilated. 7/2016 recurrent right sided abdominal pain and diarrhea. Colonoscopy with dilation of stricture Recurrent symptoms and referred to CRS for limited ileocolonic resection Case Presentation 12/2017 underwent post operative colonoscopy and found to have active ileitis at the neo terminal ileum Changed to Remicade 8
Role of Endoscopy Confirm diagnosis Differentiate between Ulcerative Colitis vs Crohn s Disease Obtain histologic confirmation Assess disease severity and distribution Assess mucosal healing Surveillance for dysplasia Role of Endoscopy in IBD Pouchoscopy Dilation of anorectal stricture Upper endoscopy Chromoendoscopy Surveillance for dysplasia Pouchoscopy A gastroscope typically used Biopsies taken Dilation of IPAA Endoscopic Jpouch images 9
Chromoendoscopy Dilute spray applied to the colon Increase yield of dysplastic lesion Bowel Preparation Split dose prep is recommended for all patients Avoid Sodium Phosphate bowel preps Increase mucosal injury Erosions may be seen Procedure Comfort Quick check in Privacy in Pre op area Adequate anesthesia Allow for time of questions following the procedure Patient/family have a lot questions about diagnosis and treatment Patient/family will have questions regarding diet Resources www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org 10
Healthcare Today US Healthcare is the most costly in the world (17% GDP) National Healthcare Expenditure Projections, 2010 2020. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Office of the Actuary. Aging populations and increased longevity, coupled with chronic health problems, have become a global challenge, putting new demands on medical and social service The IHI Triple Aim is a framework developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that describes an approach to optimizing health system performance The Triple Aim Berwick, DM et al.
