Background: The information on the risk of thromboembolism (TE) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its predictors are lacking, especially from developing countries. The present study evaluated the prevalence, predictors, and prognosis of TE in IBD.
Methods: This case-control study included 35 patients with IBD (ulcerative colitis [UC, n = 25]; Crohn's disease [CD], n = 10) and history of TE, from a cohort of 3597 patients (UC n = 2752, CD n = 845) under follow-up from 2005 to 2018.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 363 patients studied, 33 (9%) experienced hemorrhage, predominantly caused by arterial issues, with a significant portion requiring invasive treatments like radiographic angioembolization or surgery.
- * Key risk factors for hemorrhage included persistent organ failure, large drainage catheter use, and extensive pancreatic necrosis, with hemorrhage significantly linked to increased in-hospital mortality rates (66.7% for those with hemorrhage compared to 25% for others).
