| 7 | Five years of fecal microbiota transplantation-an update of the Israeli experience显示文摘AIM To evaluate and describe the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT) for Clostridium difficile infection(CDI) in a national Israeli cohort.METHODS All patients who received FMT for recurrent(recurrence within 8 wk of the previous treatment) or refractory CDI from 2013 through 2017 in all the five medical centers in Israel currently performing FMT were included. Stool donors were screened according to the Israeli Ministry of Health guidelines. Clinical and laboratory data of patients were collected from patients' medical files, and they included indications for FMT, risk factors for CDI and disease severity. Primary outcome was FMT success(at least 2 mo free of CDI-related diarrhea post-FMT). Secondary outcomes included initial response to FMT(cessation of diarrhea within 7 d) and recurrence at 6 mo.RESULTS There were 111 FMTs for CDI, with a median age of 70 years [interquartile range(IQR): 53-82], and 42%(47) males. Fifty patients(45%) were treated via the lower gastrointestinal(LGI, represented only by colonoscopy) route, 37(33%) via capsules, and 24(22%) via the upper gastrointestinal(UGI) route. The overall success rate was 87.4%(97 patients), with no significant difference between routes of administration(P = 0.338). In the univariant analysis, FMT success correlated with milder disease(P = 0.01), ambulatory setting(P < 0.05) and lower Charlson comorbidity score(P < 0.05). In the multivariant analysis, only severe CDI [odd ratio(OR) = 0.14, P < 0.05] and inpatient FMT(OR = 0.19, P < 0.05) were each independently inversely related to FMT success. There were 35(32%) patients younger than 60 years of age, and 14(40%) of them had a background of inflammatory bowel disease.CONCLUSION FMT is a safe and effective treatment for CDI, with capsules emerging as a successful and well-tolerated route. Severe CDI is less likely to respond to FMT. | Sharon A Greenberg Ilan Youngster Nathaniel A Cohen Dan M Livovsky Jacob Strahilevitz Eran Israeli Ehud Melzer Kalman Paz Naomi Fliss-Isakov Nitsan Maharshak | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018，24，47： | 0 |
