RESUMEN
AIMS: To examine the influence of pre-existing psychiatric disorder on the choice of treatment in patients with gynaecological cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The analyses were based on all patients who underwent surgical treatment for endometrial, ovarian or cervical cancer who were registered in the Danish Gynecological Cancer Database in the years 2007-2014 (3059 patients with ovarian cancer, 5100 patients with endometrial cancer and 1150 with cervical cancer). Logistic regression model and Cox regression model, adjusted for relevant confounders, were used to estimate the effect of pre-existing psychiatric disorder on the course of cancer treatment. Our outcomes were (i) presurgical oncological treatment, (ii) macroradical surgery for patients with ovarian cancer, (iii) radiation/chemotherapy within 30 days and 100 days after surgery and (iv) time from surgery to first oncological treatment. RESULTS: In the group of patients with ovarian cancer, more patients with a psychiatric disorder received macroradical surgery versus patients without a psychiatric disorder, corresponding to an adjusted odds ratio of 1.24 (95% confidence interval 0.62-2.41) and the chance for having oncological treatment within 100 days was odds ratio = 1.26 (95% confidence interval 0.77-2.10). As for patients with endometrial cancer, all outcome estimates were close to unity. The adjusted odds ratio for oncological treatment within 30 days after surgery in patients with cervical cancer with a history of psychiatric disorder was 0.20 (95% confidence interval 0.03-1.54). CONCLUSIONS: We did not find any significant differences in the treatment of ovarian and endometrial cancer in patients with pre-existing psychiatric diagnoses. When it comes to oncological treatment, we suggest that increased attention should be paid to patients with cervical cancer having a pre-existing psychiatric diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: Men with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have decreased sexual function due to factors related to the underlying disease, medication, and/or surgery. We aimed to examine the use of erectile dysfunction (ED) medications in men with IBD. METHODS: This is a nationwide cohort study based on the Danish registries, comprising all men >18 years old with IBD during 1 January 1995 through December 2016. The cohorts included 31,498 men with IBD and 314,980 age-matched men without IBD. Our main outcome was a first prescription of an ED medication. Cox regression analyses were used to estimate the hazard rate (HR) for use of ED medications, controlled for multiple time-varying covariates. RESULTS: Overall, 21,966 (69.7%) men had ulcerative colitis (UC) while 9532 (30.3%) had Crohn's disease (CD). Men with a first ED prescription numbered 3749 (11.9%) (men with IBD) and 30,635 (9.7%) (men without IBD). Adjusting for central nervous system and intestinal anti-inflammatory medications, systemic corticosteroids and co-morbidities, the HR was 1.19 (95% CI: 1.13-1.26) (IBD and no prior IBD operation), and 1.31 (95% CI: 1.20-1.43) (IBD and prior IBD operation). The adjusted HR for UC was 1.17 (95% CI: 1.10-1.24) (no operation) and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.27-1.61) (prior operation), and for CD 1.26 (95% CI: 1.15-1.38) (no operation) and 1.20 (95% CI: 1.06-1.35) (prior operation). DISCUSSION: Men with IBD are more likely to fill an ED prescription than men without IBD. This result is significant regardless of a history of IBD surgery.

PURPOSE: We examined the effect of preconception paternal use of azathioprine (AZA)/6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) or methotrexate (MTX) and the risk of adverse long-term outcomes in the offspring. METHODS: This study included all children born in Denmark from 1 January 1997 through 2013. Exposed cohort: children fathered by men who used AZA/6-MP (N=735) or MTX (N=209) within three months before conception; unexposed cohort: children fathered by men who did not use AZA/6-MP/MTX (N=1,056,524). OUTCOMES: malignancies, autism spectrum disorders (ASD)/schizophrenia/psychosis, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). RESULTS: Outcomes: of children: AZA/6-MP exposure: one with leukemia (0.14%), one with ASD/schizophrenia (0.14%) and three with ADHD (0.41%); MTX exposure: three with ADHD (1.4%). Unexposed: 1710 with malignancies (0.16%), 2107 with ASD/schizophrenia (0.20%), 2799 with ADHD (0.26%). Median follow up times were 6.7 [IQR:3.6-11.3] and 9.9 [IQR:5.7-14.3] years respectively. CONCLUSIONS: There was no negative impact of paternal preconception use of AZA/6-MP/MTX on selected childhood health outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: Information on the safety of paternal use of azathioprine (AZA) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) prior to conception is limited. Based on nationwide data from the Danish health registries, we examined the association between paternal use of AZA/6-MP within 3â months before conception and adverse birth outcomes. DESIGN: This nationwide cohort study is based on data from all singletons born in Denmark from 1 January 1997 through 2013. Children fathered by men who used AZA/6-MP within 3â months before conception constituted the exposed cohort (N=699), and children fathered by men who did not use AZA/6-MP 3â months prior to conception constituted the unexposed cohort (N=1â 012â 624). The outcomes were congenital abnormalities (CAs), preterm birth and small for gestational age (SGA). We adjusted for multiple covariates and performed a restricted analysis of men with IBD. RESULTS: There were no significantly increased risks of CAs, preterm birth or SGA in exposed versus unexposed cohorts of children. The adjusted ORs were 0.82 (95% CI 0.53 to 1.28) for CAs, 1.17 (95% CI 0.72 to 1.92) for preterm birth and 1.38 (95% CI 0.76 to 2.51) for SGA. Restricting our analysis to fathers with IBD showed similar results with no significantly increased risk of adverse birth outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This nationwide study is the largest to date, examining the effect of preconceptual paternal use of AZA/6-MP on birth outcomes in live born singletons. The results of no significantly increased risks of adverse birth outcomes are reassuring and support the continuation of paternal AZA/6-MP treatment during conception.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the chance of live births and adverse birth outcomes in women with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) compared with women without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who have undergone assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments. METHODS: This was a nationwide cohort study based on Danish health registries, comprising all women with an embryo transfer during 1 January 1994 through 2013. The cohorts comprised 1360 ART treatments in 432 women with UC, 554 ART treatments in 182 women with CD and 148,540 treatments in 52,489 women without IBD. Our primary outcome was live births per ART treatment cycle. We controlled for multiple covariates in the analyses. Our secondary outcomes were adverse birth outcomes. RESULTS: The chance of a live birth for each embryo transfer was significantly reduced in ART treatments in women with UC (OR=0.73, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.92), but not significantly reduced in the full model of ART treatments in women with CD (OR=0.77, 95% CI 0.52 to 1.14). Surgery for CD before ART treatment significantly reduced the chance of live birth for each embryo transfer (OR=0.51, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.91). In children conceived through ART treatment by women with UC, the OR of preterm birth was 5.29 (95% CI 2.41 to 11.63) in analyses including singletons and multiple births; restricted to singletons the OR was 1.80, 95% CI 0.49 to 6.62. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that women with UC and CD receiving ART treatments cannot expect the same success for each embryo transfer as other infertile women. Women with CD may seek to initiate ART treatment before needing CD surgery. Increased prenatal observation in UC pregnancies after ART should be considered.

BACKGROUND: A possible negative role of pre-operative use of antitumour necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF-α) agents on post-operative outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD) patients is still debated. AIM: To examine the impact of pre-operative anti-TNF-α agents on post-operative outcomes 30 and 60 days after CD surgery in a nationwide Danish cohort. Outcomes were death, reoperation, anastomosis leakage, intra-abdominal abscess and bacteraemia. METHODS: We identified all patients having surgical procedures from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2010 (n = 2293). Patients were classified according to use of anti-TNF-α agents within 12 weeks before surgery (exposed) or not (unexposed). Outcomes were obtained from nationwide registries and a bacteraemia registry. Sub-analyses were performed for bacteraemia and for impact of pre-operative timing of anti-TNF-α agents. RESULTS: Among surgical procedures for CD, 214 were exposed and 2079 were not. We found no increased relative risks of death or abscess drainage 30 or 60 days after follow-up. Among exposed, 7.5% had a reoperation within 30 days vs. 8.6% among unexposed, adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.92, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.52-1.63. Among exposed, 3.8% had an anastomosis leakage within 30 days after surgery vs. 2.8% among unexposed, adjusted OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 0.59-3.02. No further cases of anastomosis leakages appeared within 60 days. Sub-analyses indicated no increased risk of bacteraemia after 30 days and no increased risks when anti-TNF-α agents were given ≤14 days before surgery. CONCLUSION: We found no significantly increased relative risks of post-operative complications after use of anti-TNF-α agents either 12 weeks or ≤14 days before surgery for Crohn's disease.

BACKGROUND: It is still controversial whether pre-operative anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF-α) agents increase post-operative complications in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). AIM: In a nationwide Danish cohort of patients with UC, we aimed to examine the impact of pre-operative use of anti-TNF-α agents on post-operative adverse outcomes after colectomy for UC. Outcomes (within 30 and 60 days after surgery) were reoperation, anastomosis leakage, intra-abdominal abscess, bacteremia and death. METHODS: Based on the Danish National Patient Registry we identified all UC patients, aged ≥15 years, having their first surgery for UC in the period of 1 January 2003-31 December 2010 (n = 1226). Patients were classified according to use of anti-TNF-α agents within 12 weeks before surgery or not. Outcome data were obtained from Danish registries. Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate adjusted risks [with 95% confidence intervals (CI)] of post-operative outcomes among patients treated with anti-TNF-α agents, relative to those not treated. RESULTS: A total of 199 UC patients were exposed to anti-TNF-α agents within 12 weeks before colectomy, and 1027 were not. Among exposed, the adjusted odds ratio of reoperation and anastomosis leakage within 30 days after colectomy was 1.07 (95% CI: 0.71-1.59) and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.06-4.11) respectively. No deaths, cases of abscess drainage or bacteremia occurred among exposed within 30 days. Furthermore, no increased relative risks were found within 60 days after colectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Based on nationwide data on UC patients having colectomies, pre-operative use of anti-TNF-α agents did not increase the risk of post-operative complications.
