Abstract

In Brief Objective To evaluate how age affects functional outcome and quality of life after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA). Summary Background Data Because of the limited number of older patients undergoing IPAA, it has been difficult to assess functional outcome and quality of life stratified by age. Methods IPAA was performed in 1895 patients. Patients were stratified by age into <45 (n = 1410), 46–55 (n = 289), 56–65 (n = 154), and more than 65 years (n = 42). Outcome was assessed prospectively. Results are presented at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years after surgery. Results Patients were followed for 4.6 ± 3.7 years (maximum, 17 years). Pouch failure occurred in 4.1% (pouch excision or permanent diversion). Incontinence and night time seepage were more common in older patients. There were minor differences in the quality of life, health, energy and happiness between age groups, with a slight benefit for those under 45 years. Fourteen percent or fewer patients experienced social, sexual or work restrictions. Overall, 96% of patients were happy to have undergone their surgery, and 98% recommended it to others. Although the respective figures were 89% and 96% in the over-65 age group, the difference was not significant. Conclusions These data provide a unique assessment of outcome after IPAA at multiple time points. Although functional outcome after IPAA is not as good in older patients, appropriate case selection confers acceptable function and quality of life to patients of all ages. One thousand eight hundred and ninety five patients who underwent ileal pouch-anal anastomosis since 1983 were grouped by age and analyzed after 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. Although functional outcome was not as good in those over 65 years, quality of life was similar at all ages and over 96% of patients were happy with the results of their surgery. Appropriate case selection confers acceptable outcome for all patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
