C. difficile and CMV outcomes by biologic group
| CDI Outcomes | Vedolizumab | Anti-TNFα | P-value† |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDI, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) | 5.6 | 37.9 | 0.001 |
| Severe CDI, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) | 2.8 | 10.2 | 0.18 |
| CDI hospitalization, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) | 5.6 | 21.3 | 0.042 |
| Colectomy within 30 days after CDI, fraction (%)‡ | 0/2 (0.0%) | 1/41 (2.4%) | 1.00 |
| Death within 30 days after CDI, fraction (%)‡ | 0/2 (0.0%) | 0/41 (0.0%) | 1.00 |
| Antibiotics within 30 days prior to CDI, fraction (%)‡ | 0/2 (0.0%) | 3/41 (7.3%) | 1.00 |
| Systemic corticosteroids within 30 days prior to CDI, fraction (%)‡ | 1/2 (50.0%) | 28/41 (68.3%) | 1.00 |
| CMV Outcomes | Vedolizumab | Anti-TNFα | -- |
| CMVC, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) | 0 | 4.5 | -- |
| CMVC hospitalization, incidence rate (per 1,000 patient-years) | 0 | 3.6 | -- |
| Colectomy within 30 days after CMVC, fraction (%)§ | -- | 1/5 (20.0%) | -- |
| Death within 30 days after CMVC, fraction (%)§ | -- | 0/5 (0.0%) | -- |
All p-values were calculated using Fisher’s exact test for categorical data except for CDI, severe CDI, CDI hospitalization, which were calculated using the log-rank test. Due to the small number of CMVC outcomes, p-values were not calculated to compare biologic groups.
Denominator for these outcomes includes only patients who developed CDI (i.e. n=2 for vedolizumab, n=41 for anti-TNFα)
Denominator for these outcomes includes only patients who developed CMVC (i.e. n=5 for anti-TNFα only)
Abbreviations: TNF = tumor necrosis factor, CDI = C. difficile infection, CMVC = cytomegalovirus colitis
