Resumen
La fragilidad es un estado de vulnerabilidad caracterizado por una disminución de la reserva fisiológica y la capacidad de respuesta ante el estrés, lo que aumenta el riesgo de complicaciones, efectos adversos a los tratamientos y al deterioro funcional. La valoración de la fragilidad permite determinar la edad biológica de los pacientes, más allá de su edad cronológica, proporcionando una visión más precisa de su estado de salud y necesidades asistenciales. La proporción de adultos de edad avanzada con EII se halla en aumento de forma paralela al envejecimiento de la población general y se estima que, en la próxima década, más de un tercio de los pacientes con EII superarán los 60 años. Esta población puede sufrir las complicaciones derivadas de la propia EII desarrolladas previamente a la vez que es particularmente susceptible a desarrollar efectos secundarios del tratamiento, lo que hace imprescindible su evaluación integral con el fin de identificar aquellos más vulnerables. A la fragilidad se unen otros síndromes geriátricos como la comorbilidad y la polifarmacia que pueden interferir de forma notable con el manejo y el curso de la EII, condicionando la estrategia terapéutica y el pronóstico.
Objetivo
En este contexto, la evaluación geriátrica integral debe ser sistemática en los pacientes de edad avanzada con EII, con el objetivo de detectar déficits funcionales e implementar intervenciones específicas de apoyo nutricional, rehabilitación funcional y atención psicológica para optimizar su evolución. Este documento de posicionamiento pretende establecer recomendaciones al respecto basadas en la evidencia disponible.
Conclusiones
La incorporación sistemática de la valoración geriátrica integral en el manejo de personas mayores con EII representa una estrategia esencial para mejorar los resultados clínicos, adaptar los tratamientos a la capacidad funcional del paciente y favorecer un enfoque verdaderamente centrado en la persona.
Recomendamos valorar el uso de GMA en los pacientes frágiles o de edad avanzada con EII corticodependientes por su seguridad.
En los pacientes con EII de edad avanzada o en situación de fragilidad, donde el riesgo de efectos adversos por inmunosupresores y corticoides es mayor, la GMA puede representar una opción terapéutica segura. Esta estrategia permite controlar la inflamación sin incrementar significativamente el riesgo de infecciones o neoplasias. Disponemos de datos que han demostrado que la GMA puede inducir remisión clínica en un porcentaje considerable de pacientes mayores con CU moderada o grave, con un perfil de seguridad favorable y sin eventos adversos graves, incluso en presencia de múltiples comorbilidades

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, heterogeneous, and potentially life-threatening disease characterized by primary, sterile, and macroscopically visible pustules with or without systemic symptoms. There are ethnic differences in the genetic mutations associated with GPP that might affect the clinical manifestations and treatment responses. Currently, there is limited evidence from the patient population in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, resulting in a general paucity of information on the effective management of patients with GPP in this region. This modified Delphi panel study aimed to identify current evidence and gain advanced insights to facilitate the development of a regionally tailored APAC consensus on the management of GPP. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify published literature and develop consensus statements on (i) definition and clinical course, (ii) diagnosis of GPP, (iii) treatment outcomes, goals, and monitoring measures, and (iv) optimal management strategies and clinical practices. Statements were rated by a panel of dermatologists in two rounds, with the threshold for consensus at ≥80% agreement. Twenty experts from the APAC region reached consensus on 106 statements that were developed based on the SLR and experts’ collective expertise. The experts agreed that GPP is a rare, severe, and potentially life-threatening condition that is distinct from plaque psoriasis. This consensus emphasized the importance of a tailored treatment strategy taking into account the GPP flare severity and each patient’s unique clinical circumstances. The experts reached consensus on the severity classification of GPP flares and recommended first-line and maintenance treatment options for adult GPP, childhood GPP, and GPP in pregnancy. These consensus outcomes have been synthesized into treatment algorithms to guide dermatologists in the APAC region in their clinical decision-making processes.
Non-pharmacological treatments, such as GMA and IVIG, can be considered based on their availability in individual countries

The Asia-Pacific consensus on ulcerative colitis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing in many parts of the Asia-Pacific region. There is a need to improve the awareness of IBD and develop diagnostic and management recommendations relevant to the region. This evidence-based consensus focuses on the definition, epidemiology and management of ulcerative colitis (UC) in Asia. A multi-disciplinary group developed the consensus statements, reviewed the relevant literature, and voted on them anonymously using the Delphi method. The finalized statements were reviewed to determine the level of consensus, evidence quality and strength of recommendation. Infectious colitis must be excluded prior to diagnosing UC. Typical histology and macroscopic extent of the disease seen in the West is found in the Asia-Pacific region. Ulcerative colitis is increasing in many parts of Asia with gender distribution and age of diagnosis similar to the West. Extra-intestinal manifestations including primary sclerosing cholangitis are rarer than in the West. Clinical stratification of disease severity guides management. In Japan, leukocytapheresis is a treatment option. Access to biologic agents remains limited due to high cost and concern over opportunistic infections. The high endemic rates of hepatitis B virus infection require stringent screening before initiating immune-suppressive agents. Vaccination and prophylactic therapies should be initiated on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with local practice. Colorectal cancer complicates chronic colitis. A recent increase in UC is reported in the Asia-Pacific region. These consensus statements aim to improve the recognition of UC and assist clinicians in its management with particular relevance to the region.
