Abstrakt: Background: Microscopic colitis (MC) is a common cause of chronic diarrhea. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the efficacy of budesonide treatment for MC. However, relapse is frequent after discontinuation of budesonide, and data on maintenance therapy are limited. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating these outcomes in clinical trials and real-world settings.
Methods: A systematic search was performed on October 31, 2022, of Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus. Case series, case-control, cohort studies, and RCTs of adults with MC were included. Data were pooled using random effects models to calculate weighted pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic.
Results: We included 35 studies (11 RCTs, 24 observational studies) with 1657 MC patients treated with budesonide induction and 146 for maintenance. The overall pooled clinical remission rate with budesonide treatment was similar between RCTs and observational studies. The pooled remission rate with budesonide maintenance therapy was 84% (95% CI, 0.60-1.00; I2 = 91%). After budesonide discontinuation, the pooled relapse rate was 53% (95% CI, 0.42-0.63; I2 = 76%). On maintenance therapy, no differences were noted in adverse events (eg, metabolic bone disease, hypertension, hyperglycemia, cataracts/glaucoma) in those on budesonide vs placebo or other noncorticosteroid medications for MC (P = .9).
Conclusions: Budesonide is an effective maintenance treatment for MC. There is a high risk of recurrence after budesonide discontinuation, but long-term use at the lowest effective dose appears to be relatively safe and have limited adverse effects.
