lüll The impact of infliximab infusion reactions on long-term outcomes in patients with Crohn s disease Moss AC; Fernandez-Becker N; Jo Kim K; Cury D; Cheifetz ASAliment Pharmacol Ther 2008[Jul]; 28 (2): 221-7BACKGROUND: Little is known about long-term outcomes in patients who experience infusion reactions while receiving infliximab. AIM: To investigate long-term outcomes in patients who experience infusion reactions while receiving infliximab. METHODS: Retrospective electronic chart review of long-term clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Clinical data on 287 patients who received infliximab infusions for Crohn's disease were reviewed, of whom 51 developed at least one infusion reaction (18%). Ileo-colonic disease (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1-4.4) and episodic infliximab (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.2-4.7) were associated with a higher risk of infusion reactions in univariate analysis, but concomitant azathioprine/mercaptopurine therapy at the initiation of infliximab was associated with a reduced risk (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.8). Only the effect of concomitant immunomodulators persisted on multivariate analysis. Patients who experienced infusion reactions were less likely to be in remission at 1 year (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.3-1.2), 2 years (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.8, P = 0.01), or 5 years (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.1-1.3) and more likely to require surgery (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1-4.1, P = 0.01) than those who did not experience such reactions. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who experienced infusion reactions to infliximab had a high rate of discontinuation of therapy in this cohort. Concomitant immunomodulators and maintenance therapy reduced the risk of infusion reactions.|Adult[MESH]|Antibodies, Monoclonal/*adverse effects[MESH]|Crohn Disease/*complications/drug therapy[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gastrointestinal Agents/*adverse effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infliximab[MESH]|Infusions, Parenteral/*adverse effects/methods[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
