Effect of albumin in cirrhotic patients with infection other than spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. A randomized trial

International audienceBACKGROUND &amp; AIMS: Albumin infusion improves renal function and survival in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) but its efficacy in other types of infections remains unknown. We investigated this issue through a multicenter randomized controlled trial.METHODS: A total of 193 cirrhotic patients with a Child-Pugh score greater than 8 and sepsis unrelated to SBP were randomly assigned to receive antibiotics plus albumin (1.5 g/kg on day 1 and 1g/kg on day 3; albumin group [ALB]: n=96) or antibiotics alone (control group [CG]: n=97). The primary endpoint was the 3-month renal failure rate (increase in creatinine ⩾50% to reach a final value ⩾133 μmol/L). The secondary endpoint was 3-month survival rate.RESULTS: Forty-seven (24.6%) patients died (ALB: n=27 vs. CG: n=20; 3-month survival: 70.2% vs. 78.3%; p=0.16). Albumin infusion delayed the occurrence of renal failure (mean time to onset, ALB: 29.0 ± 21.8 vs. 11.7 ± 9.1 days, p=0.018) but the 3-month renal failure rate was similar (ALB: 14.3% vs. CG: 13.5%; p=0.88). By multivariate analysis, MELD score (p&lt;0.0001), pneumonia (p=0.0041), hyponatremia (p=0.031) and occurrence of renal failure (p&lt;0.0001) were predictors of death. Of note, pulmonary edema developed in 8/96 (8.3%) patients in the albumin group of whom two died, one on the day and the other on day 33 following albumin infusion.CONCLUSIONS: In cirrhotic patients with infections other than SBP, albumin infusion delayed onset of renal failure but did not improve renal function or survival at 3 months. Infusion of large amounts of albumin should be cautiously administered in the sickest cirrhotic patients.</p

High Risk of Anal and Rectal Cancer in Patients With Anal and/or Perianal Crohn’s Disease

International audienceBackground & AimsLittle is known about the magnitude of the risk of anal and rectal cancer in patients with anal and/or perineal Crohn’s disease. We aimed to assess the risk of anal and rectal cancer in patients with Crohn’s perianal disease followed up in the Cancers Et Surrisque Associé aux Maladies Inflammatoires Intestinales En France (CESAME) cohort.MethodsWe collected data from 19,486 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) enrolled in the observational CESAME study in France, from May 2004 through June 2005; 14.9% of participants had past or current anal and/or perianal Crohn’s disease. Subjects were followed up for a median time of 35 months (interquartile range, 29–40 mo). To identify risk factors for anal cancer in the total CESAME population, we performed a case-control study in which participants were matched for age and sex.ResultsAmong the total IBD population, 8 patients developed anal cancer and 14 patients developed rectal cancer. In the subgroup of 2911 patients with past or current anal and/or perianal Crohn’s lesions at cohort entry, 2 developed anal squamous-cell carcinoma, 3 developed perianal fistula–related adenocarcinoma, and 6 developed rectal cancer. The corresponding incidence rates were 0.26 per 1000 patient-years for anal squamous-cell carcinoma, 0.38 per 1000 patient-years for perianal fistula–related adenocarcinoma, and 0.77 per 1000 patient-years for rectal cancer. Among the 16,575 patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease without anal or perianal lesions, the incidence rate of anal cancer was 0.08 per 1000 patient-years and of rectal cancer was 0.21 per 1000 patient-years. Among factors tested by univariate conditional regression (IBD subtype, disease duration, exposure to immune-suppressive therapy, presence of past or current anal and/or perianal lesions), the presence of past or current anal and/or perianal lesions at cohort entry was the only factor significantly associated with development of anal cancer (odds ratio, 11.2; 95% CI, 1.18-551.51; P = .03).ConclusionsIn an analysis of data from the CESAME cohort in France, patients with anal and/or perianal Crohn’s disease have a high risk of anal cancer, including perianal fistula–related cancer, and a high risk of rectal cancer
