BACKGROUND: Anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapy effectively treats Crohn's perineal fistulas (CPF); the effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains unknown.
AIMS: To evaluate the effect of anti-TNF therapy on the HRQoL of patients with CPF in daily clinical practice.
METHODS: Prospective evaluation of clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) responses, disease activity (Perianal Disease Activity Index - PDAI), and HRQoL assessment [Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ)] in patients receiving anti-TNF therapy for CPF treated up to 12 months.
RESULTS: In all, 26 patients with CPF were treated (mean age 39 years; 19 infliximab, 7 adalimumab). At baseline, 85% patients had impaired IBDQ scores (mean 137; 'normal' >170). At 12 months, mean increases in IBDQ score for infliximab and adalimumab treated patients were 40 and 41 points respectively (P < 0.05). There were significant improvements in all IBDQ subscores (bowel, emotional, systemic, social) at 12 months (all P < or = 0.003). Fourteen patients (74%) on infliximab and six on adalimumab (86%) achieved IBDQ score > or =170. Mean increase in IBDQ score was 50, 34 and 16 points in patients with clinical fistula closure (P < 0.001), clinical response (P = 0.002) and no response (n = 1) respectively. IBDQ score increased for patients with MRI healing (P < 0.001) and MRI improvement (P = 0.016), but not for those with no MRI change (n = 2). IBDQ correlated significantly with PDAI at baseline and at 12 months.
CONCLUSION: Anti-TNF therapy improves HRQoL in patients with CPF at 12 months and this improvement is most pronounced in patients with clinical and MRI healing.
