Antibiotic Use in the 12 Months Prior to Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis Increases the Risk for Pouchitis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND &
aimsPouchitis is the most common complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC); however, clinical and environmental risk factors for pouchitis remain poorly understood. We explored the relationship between specific clinical factors and the incidence of pouchitis.
methodsWe established a population-based cohort of all adult persons in Denmark undergoing proctocolectomy with IPAA for UC from 1996-2020. We used Cox proportional hazard modeling to assess the impact of antibiotic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) exposure, and appendectomy on diagnosis of acute pouchitis in the first 2 years after IPAA surgery.
resultsAmong 1616 eligible patients, 46% developed pouchitis in the first 2 years after IPAA. Antibiotic exposure in the 12 months before IPAA was associated with an increased risk of pouchitis (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-1.64) after adjusting for anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha use and sex. Compared with persons without any antibiotic prescriptions in the 12 months before IPAA, the risk of pouchitis was increased in those with 1 or 2 courses of antibiotics in that period (aHR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.11-1.52) and 3 or more courses (aHR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.41-2.21). NSAID exposure in the 12 months before IPAA and appendectomy were not associated with risk of acute pouchitis (P = .201 and P = .865, respectively).
conclusionsIn this population-based cohort study, we demonstrated that antibiotic exposure in the 12 months before IPAA is associated with an increased risk of acute pouchitis. Future prospective studies may isolate specific microbial changes in at-risk patients to drive earlier interventions.
