Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the role of the nucleotide oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) mutation status and other risk factors for the incidence of postoperative complications after ileocolic resection for Crohn’s disease (CD).
Methods
Data of 138 patients consecutively undergoing ileocolic resection for CD at a tertiary academic referral center were retrospectively analyzed including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data of the NOD2 gene. Uni- and multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with increased risk of severe postoperative complications.
Results
From 114 patients (83%), the NOD2 mutation status was available. Of these, 60 (53%) had a NOD2 wildtype, whereas eleven (10%) were homozygous for the high risk p.Leu1007fsX1008 (rs2066847) variant. Major postoperative complications occurred in 28 patients (20%). Twenty-seven of these (96%) were intraabdominal septic complications such as anastomotic leakage or abscess. Male gender (P = 0.029; OR 3.052, the duration of CD (time [months] from initial diagnosis of CD to surgery; P = 0.001; OR 1.009), previous abdominal surgery for CD (P = 0.017; OR 3.49), and the presence of enteric fistulas (P = 0.023; OR 3.21) were identified as independent risk factors for major postoperative complications. Homozygosity for the NOD2 high-risk variant p.Leu1007fsX1008 did not show increased postoperative morbidity in the short and long-term outcome.
Conclusions
We could detect independent risk factors for major postoperative complications after ileocolic resection for Crohn’s disease. However, patients with the high-risk variant p.Leu1007fsX1008 of the NOD2 gene did not show increased postoperative morbidity.
