Peripartum Infections Among Women With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Background: Pregnant patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are frequently treated with immunomodulatory agents and may be at increased risk of adverse outcomes, including peripartum infections. We sought to examine the risk for peripartum infections in patients with IBD compared with control subjects and identify potential risk factors associated with peripartum infections in these patients.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared peripartum infection rates and associated risk factors between pregnant women with and without IBD.
