Outcomes after acute coronary syndrome in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Background: Patients with chronic inflammatory conditions are at an increased risk of developing atherothrombotic events. We aimed to assess the 1-year prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: From the PMSI (Program de Medicalisation des Systèmes d'informatique) database, 246 out of 39,835 consecutive MI patients, hospitalized between 2012 and 2017, were diagnosed with IBD and followed up for 1 year after discharge.
