Abstract
Introduction

Several vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are currently in use and are recommended in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Data are scarce about the gastroenterologists and IBD patient's acceptance of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. The aim of the study was to evaluate the intention to get vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine among IBD patients from gastroenterologists and patient's perspective.

Methods

An online anonymous survey was sent to 8000 patients from ACCU-Spain and 1000 members of the GETECCU. Three invitations were sent between October-December 2020. Descriptive analyses were performed, comparing physicians and patients responses by standard statistical analyses.

Results

144 gastroenterologists [63% female, mean age 43 years (SD 9.5)], and 1302 patients [72% female, mean age 43 years (SD 12)] responded to the survey. 95% of the physicians recommended SARS-CoV-2 vaccine for IBD patients and 87% consider that their vaccination strategies has not changed after the pandemic compared to 12% who considered that they currently refer more patients to vaccination. Regarding to IBD patients, only 43% of patients were willing to receive the vaccine and 43% were not sure. Male sex (p<0.001) and mesalazine treatment (p=0.021) were positively associated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine acceptance. After multivariate analysis, only male sex was significantly associated with vaccination intent (OR=1.6; 95% confidence interval=1.2–2.0; p=0.001).

Conclusions

Gastroenterologists and patient's perspective about SARS-CoV-2 are different. Future efforts to increase COVID-19 vaccine and decrease unfounded beliefs among IBD patients are needed.

Resumen
Introducción

Actualmente en el mercado hay diferentes vacunas frente a SARS-CoV-2 que se recomiendan en pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII). No tenemos suficiente evidencia sobre la aceptación de este tipo de vacunas. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la aceptación de la vacuna frente a SARS-CoV-2 por parte de gastroenterólogos y pacientes con EII.

Métodos

Se realizó una encuesta online a 8.000 pacientes de ACCU-España y 1.000 miembros de GETECCU. Se enviaron tres invitaciones entre octubre y diciembre de 2020. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, comparando las respuestas de médicos y pacientes.

Resultados

144 gastroenterólogos (63% mujeres, edad media 43años [DE9,5]) y 1.302 pacientes (72% mujeres, edad media 43años [DE12]) respondieron a la encuesta. El 95% de los médicos recomendaban la vacuna frente a SARS-CoV-2 en pacientes con EII, el 87% consideraron que su estrategia de vacunación frente a diferentes vacunas no había cambiado tras la pandemia, frente al 12% que consideraban que actualmente remitían más pacientes a vacunación. En cuanto a los pacientes con EII, solo el 43% aceptaban la vacunación frente a SARS-CoV-2, frente al 43% que no estaban seguros. El sexo masculino (p<0,001) y el uso de mesalazina (p=0,021) se asoció de forma positiva con la aceptación de la vacuna. En el análisis multivariante, solo el sexo masculino fue asociado significativamente con la intención de vacunarse (OR=1,6; IC95%=1,2-2,0; p=0,001).

Conclusiones

La perspectiva de gastroenterólogos y pacientes con EII con respecto a la vacunación frente a SARS-CoV-2 es diferente. Es necesario realizar esfuerzos para incrementar el uso de la vacuna y disminuir falsas creencias.
