Background: Secondary systemic amyloidosis (SSA) is a rare but severe complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, predictors of complications, and in-hospital mortality of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) who develop SSA.
Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample, we identified patients hospitalized for IBD and SSA between 2004 and 2012.
