Short Versus Long Interval to Ileostomy Reversal After Ileal Pouch Surgery

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Ileostomy - Stoma
Ulcerative Colitis
Ileal Pouch
Interventions
Procedure: Late
Procedure: Early
Registration Number
NCT03587519
Lead Sponsor
University of Colorado, Denver
Brief Summary

In patients with ulcerative or indeterminate colitis who undergo ileal pouch anal anastomosis and diverting loop ileostomy (IPAA) surgery\* a short interval to loop ileostomy reversal will result in differences in complications and quality of life compared to a long interval to loop ileostomy reversal.

Detailed Description

Aim #1: To compare the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI), the incidence of postoperative complications, including total number of complications per patient, percent of patients with complications, and total number of ostomy-related complications per patient among IPAA patients who have their ileostomy reversed after a short interval compared to a long interval.

Aim #2: To compare the short vs. long interval groups on measures of health-related quality of life (PROMIS) and IPAA functional outcomes

  • Crohn's disease or suspected Crohn's disease
  • Prednisone dose > 20 mg per day (or equivalent other steroid dose) within 4 weeks of scheduled IPAA
  • Body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 40 kg/m2
  • Hemodynamic instability (persistent pulse rate < 50 or > 120 bpm, systolic blood pressure < 90 or > 160 mm Hg, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or active vasopressor drug use)

  • Individualized decision by the surgeon to exclude the patient based on sound surgical judgment
  • Pregnant patients and female patients who do not satisfy the standard of care requirements of participating centers for an elective surgical procedure.
  • Clinical assessment of patient after IPAA surgery indicates that patient is not suitable for early ileostomy reversal
  • Participation in another clinical trial within the last 30 days, or simultaneous participation in another clinical trial
  • Well-founded doubt about the patient's cooperation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comprehensive Complication Index at 6 months after randomization.6 months

The CCI® calculator is an online tool to support the assessment of patients' overall morbidity. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI®) is based on the complication grading by Clavien-Dindo Classification and implements every occurred complication after an intervention. The overall morbidity is reflected on a scale from 0 (no complication) to 100 (death).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of patients with complications1-2 month intervals after randomization through 6 months".

Percentage of patients with one or more postoperative complication such as surgical site infection, venous thromboembolism, lung or heart-related complications, etc.

Total number of stoma related complications per patient1-2 month intervals after randomization through 6 months

Examples: leakage, pain, retraction, prolapse, bleeding, etc.

Total number of postoperative complications per patient6 months

Post-operative complications. For example, surgical site infection, venous thromboembolism, lung or heart-related complications, etc.)

Health-related quality of lifeOnce, at 6 months after ostomy closure surgery

PROMIS questionnaire. This will be used to assess the study patient's overall health, quality of life, physical health, mental health, social activities, relationships, activities of daily living, emotional health, fatigue level, and pain.

IPAA functional outcomesOnce, at 6 months after ostomy closure surgery

Daily stools, nightly stools, stool seepage, stool incontinence, anti-peristaltic medication use
