Abstract

Objectives: Altered body fat and muscle mass in Crohn's disease (CD) have been linked to adverse disease course and outcomes. Prediction of treatment response or remission (RoR) of small bowel CD (SBCD) to biologic therapy remains challenging. We aimed to establish the prognostic value of body composition parameters measured using MR enterography (MRE) for RoR at 1 year in patients with SBCD commencing biologic therapy.

Methods: Participants were identified from those recruited to a prospective, multicentre study investigating the predictive ability of motility MRI for 1 year RoR in patients starting biologic therapy for active SBCD (MOTILITY trial). Myopenia, skeletal muscle:fat and visceral:subcutaneous fat were measured from baseline MRE. RoR at 1 year was judged using a composite of clinical and morphological MRE parameters. We compared the likelihood of RoR in patients with and without myopenia or low skeletal muscle:fat using logistic regression models.

Results: Ninety-six participants were included (mean age 38.2 years; 40 (42%) female). There were 34 (35%) responders. There was no significant difference in RoR at 1 year between those patients with and without skeletal muscle myopenia (OR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.27, 2.66, p-value: 0.78), or those with or without low skeletal muscle:fat (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.19, 2.71, p-value: 0.62).

Conclusions: Body composition parameters demonstrated no value for predicting therapeutic RoR in patients commencing biologic therapy for SBCD.

Critical relevance statement: Prediction of response to biologic therapy in small bowel Crohn's disease (SBCD) remains challenging. Body composition parameters cannot predict biologic therapeutic response or remission for SBCD reliably.

Key points: Altered body fat and muscle mass in Crohn's disease have been linked to adverse outcomes. Prediction of response to biologic therapy in small bowel CD (SBCD) would be useful for treatment optimisation. Body composition parameters measured using MRI cannot reliably predict biological therapeutic response or remission for SBCD.

期刊介绍： Insights into Imaging (I³) is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. All content published in the journal is freely available online to anyone, anywhere! I³ continuously updates scientific knowledge and progress in best-practice standards in radiology through the publication of original articles and state-of-the-art reviews and opinions, along with recommendations and statements from the leading radiological societies in Europe. Founded by the European Society of Radiology (ESR), I³ creates a platform for educational material, guidelines and recommendations, and a forum for topics of controversy. A balanced combination of review articles, original papers, short communications from European radiological congresses and information on society matters makes I³ an indispensable source for current information in this field. I³ is owned by the ESR, however authors retain copyright to their article according to the Creative Commons Attribution License (see Copyright and License Agreement). All articles can be read, redistributed and reused for free, as long as the author of the original work is cited properly. The open access fees (article-processing charges) for this journal are kindly sponsored by ESR for all Members. The journal went open access in 2012, which means that all articles published since then are freely available online.
