Abstract:
IL-17 inhibitors effectively treat psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis but may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We assessed their association with IBD compared to apremilast. Utilising the TriNetX database, we analysed patients with psoriasis or ankylosing spondylitis initiating IL-17 inhibitors or apremilast. We used propensity score matching and Cox models to estimate IBD risk. Among 13,216 matched patients per group, 142 developed IBD with IL-17 inhibitors versus 60 with apremilast (aHR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.85-3.39). IL-17 inhibitors increase IBD risk, necessitating careful patient selection and monitoring.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
