Abstract

Background: Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) are common in children and adults and their presence is associated with a higher severity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In pediatrics, studies are scarce in Latin America and do not exist in Colombia.

Objective: To describe the prevalence of EIM in children with IBD and the associated demographic, clinical, and biochemical characteristics.

Methodology: Retrospective study of patients diagnosed with pediatric-onset IBD between 2007 and 2022 treated at an institution in Bogotá. A descriptive analysis was performed and in the groups with and without EIM clinical and biochemical variables were compared using Fisher’s exact test, Student’s T, and Mann-Whitney’s U.

Results: Of 71 confirmed cases, 45% had typical ulcerative colitis, 27% Crohn’s disease, 7% atypical ulcerative colitis, 1.4% colonic Crohn’s, and 20% unclassifiable IBD. Thirteen patients (18%) had at least one EIM, and mucocutaneous was the most frequent (58%). The time from symptoms onset to diagnosis was higher in the EIM group (13.2 years vs. 10.2 years; p = 0.02). Nocturnal diarrhea, hyporexia, and weight loss were more frequent in children with EIM. The EIM group showed lower hemoglobin levels, and higher globular sedimentation rate, and received biologics more frequently (38% vs. 23%, p = 0.2).

Conclusions: The frequency of MEI in this series is similar to that reported in the literature; its presence is associated with higher disease severity, higher frequency of biological use, and longer time IBD diagnosis.
