摘要

Introduction

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at higher risk of pneumonia due to the disease itself and the use of immune-modifying medications.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of TriNetX US Collaborative Network data on patients with IBD who received the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20). Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for differences in demographics and pneumonia-related risk factors.

Results

After propensity score matching, 12,796 patients were included in the analysis. The mean ages of the vaccinated and control groups were 55.2 ± 16.3 and 55.8 ± 17.1 years, respectively, with females comprising 53% of each group. The most commonly prescribed IBD therapies across both cohorts included prednisone, methylprednisolone, budesonide, and adalimumab. Compared to the control group, patients who received PCV20 experienced significantly lower risks of pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and all-cause mortality.

Discussion

These findings align with current recommendations supporting pneumococcal vaccination in adult patients with IBD and highlight the importance of further studies to clarify the extent of vaccine-related benefit in this population.
