ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: to determine the rate of malnutrition in patients with Crohn's disease in our area (Substudy A). We assess in long-term the response of malnourished patients to treatment of nutritional supplement with TGF-beta2 (Substudy B). SUBJECTS: ninety-eight (51% females) patients with Crohn's disease without selection, ages: 39.2 +/- 15.19 years, range: 18-81 years were included in Substudy A. In Substudy B thirty-nine malnourished patients (52% females) were included with an average age of 36.41 +/- 5.2 years and range: 19-45 (Substudy B). METHODS: the design of the Substudy A was an observational and cross sectional study. Whereas, the Substudy B was a longitudinal, open intervention study with active (historical) control. The variables were anthropometric parameters, electrical bioimpedance, biochemical measures, index of disease activity, subjective global assessment and the kind of treatment that every patient has received. MAIN RESULTS: the malnutrition rate was 52%, being the most frequent the caloric malnutrition, followed by mixed malnutrition. Thirty four per cent of the patients had iron deficiency. Twelve months of nutritional therapy with supplement specifically enriched in TGF-beta2 improved the evolution of the disease determined by a decrease in CDAI. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of malnutrition was similar to that of previous studies realized in Spain. Our study confirms the high rate of iron deficiency that the patients suffer with Crohn's disease. The response to the treatment is favorable, especially regarding the natural history of the disease.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los estudios farmacoeconómicos son importantes a la hora de organizar la asistencia sanitaria; sin embargo, en general existen pocos datos sobre el gasto en la enfermedad de Crohn (EC). Sujetos: En el estudio se incluyeron 38 pacientes diagnosticados de EC (50% de mujeres) con una media de edad de 35,8 ±6,4 años. Diecinueve pacientes moderadamente desnutridos configuraban el grupo de intervención y otros 19 normonutridos el grupo control. Diseño: Estudio prospectivo comparativo entre pacientes tratados o no con terapia nutricional. Periodo de estudio: Doce meses. Métodos: Las variables utilizadas para la determinación del gasto sanitario global en euros fueron las siguientes: analíticas realizadas, consultas externas a los especialistas, pruebas radiológicas, pruebas de anatomía patológica, intervenciones quirúrgicas, ingresos en urgencias, hospitalizaciones, farmacoterapia y nutrición artificial. No se incluyen los gastos indirectos ni los ocasionados en atención primaria. Principales resultados: El gasto sanitario por paciente en el grupo de intervención fue de 8.986,5 ± 5.091,3 euros anuales, mientras que el coste por paciente en el grupo control (por tanto, sin suplementación nutricional) fue de 2.381,4 ± 1.272 euros anuales (p= 0,00). Este aumento del gasto sanitario en el grupo de intervención se produjo no sólo por el coste de la nutrición artificial, sino también por el aumento significativo de las consultas externas y las hospitalizaciones. Conclusiones: El paciente con EC mal nutrido supone un importante aumento del gasto sanitario, debido al mayor número de consultas externas y hospitalizaciones, lo que sugiere la necesidad de tomar medidas preventivas para evitar la desnutrición de estos pacientes (AU)


Introduction: The pharmacoeconomics studies are important when it comes to the organization of the health care and in general there are few data on the expenditure in the Crohn’s disease(CD). Subjects: Thirty eight (38) patients diagnosed with CD were included(50% women) with an average age of 3.8 ± 6.4 years, nineteen of which were moderately malnourished (intervention group) and other 19 patients were nor monourished (control group). Design: A prospective comparative study among patients treated with nutritional therapy or not. Study period: Twelve months. Methods: The variables used for the determination of the total health expenditure in euros have been: performed lab analytics, external consultations to specialists, X-ray tests, anatomical pathology testing, surgical interventions, emergency ward admissions, hospitalizations, pharmacotherapy and artificial nutrition. The indirect expenses or the expenses incurred in primary care are not included. Main results: The health expenditure per patient in the intervention group reached the amount of 8986.5 ± 5091.3 € / year, while the cost per patient in the control group and thus, without nutritional supplement was of 2381.4 ± 1272 € / year (p = 0.00). This increase in health expenditure in the intervention group was not only due to the cost of the artificial nutrition, but also due to the relevant increase in external consultations and hospitalizations. Conclusions: The malnourished patient with CD represents an important increase in health expenditure at the expense of the higher number of external consultations and hospitalizations, suggesting the need to take preventive measures as regards to the malnutrition of these patients (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: determinar la tasa de desnutrición en los pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn en nuestro medio (Subestudio A). Evaluar la respuesta de los pacientes desnutridos al tratamiento nutricional con un suplemento específico a largo plazo (Subestudio B). Sujetos: En el Subestudio A se incluyeron 98 pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn vistos consecutivamente sin selección previa, (51% mujeres) con una edad media de 39,2 ± 15,19 años, rango: 18-81 años. En el Subestudio B se incluyeron 19 pacientes con desnutrición moderada con enfermedad de Crohn (52% mujeres) con una edad media de 36,41 ± 5,2 años, rango: 19-45. Métodos: el diseño del Subestudio A fue un estudio observacional con una cohorte de pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn. El Subestudio B fue un estudio de intervención nutricional abierto, prospectivo y con control histórico. Las variables utilizadas fueron parámetros antropométricos, bioimpedancia eléctrica, medidas bioquímicas, índice de actividad de la enfermedad, valoración global subjetiva y tratamiento actual. Principales resultados: la tasa de desnutrición fue del 52%. El tipo de desnutrición más frecuente fue la desnutrición calórica (43%), seguida por una desnutrición mixta calórica-proteica. Se ha observado que el 34% de los pacientes presentaban ferropenia. Tras la terapia nutricional específica con suplemento enriquecido en TGF-β2 durante doce meses se ha observado un estacionamiento del peso y una mejoría de la evolución de la enfermedad determinada por un descenso del índice de actividad. Conclusiones: la tasa de desnutrición fue similar a la de estudios previos realizados en España. Nuestro estudio confirma la elevada tasa de ferropenia que sufren los pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn. La respuesta al tratamiento es favorable, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la historia natural de la enfermedad (AU)
