Cure8 news brief
Why This Matters
Smoking-related products may influence Crohn’s disease recurrence after surgery; patients and clinicians may want to be aware of new data comparing heat-not-burn tobacco and e-cigarette use to nonsmoking after ileocolic resection.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adults with Crohn’s disease who are current or former smokers or e-cigarette users, clinicians managing postoperative Crohn’s care, and researchers studying tobacco-related effects on IBD outcomes.

What To Know
A multicenter international study reported in the American Journal of Gastroenterology issue examined whether e-cigarette and heat-not-burn tobacco use affect endoscopic recurrence one year after ileocolic resection for Crohn’s disease.
Heat-not-burn tobacco use was associated with higher endoscopic recurrence compared with nonsmokers; e-cigarette use showed a similar trend but did not reach statistical significance in the report. The issue also includes unrelated trials and observational studies (eg, colorectal cancer incidence trends and an octreotide infusion RCT for variceal bleeding).
Keep In Mind
