In brief
This population-based study analyzes temporal trends in ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) procedures for pediatric ulcerative colitis in England over an 18-year period using national hospital data. The research provides benchmarking data on surgical frequency and outcomes for this relatively uncommon pediatric procedure.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Introduction
Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) following colectomy for ulcerative colitis (UC) achieves restoration of intestinal continuity with potential return of continence. It is undertaken relatively infrequently in children. We aimed to investigate the national frequency of IPAA in paediatric UC and report outcomes useful for surgeon/centre benchmarking.
Methods
Hospital Episode Statistics data were obtained for all admissions in England (1997-2015) in children (
