Background:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with systemic inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk, but its impact on in-hospital outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear.
Methods:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2022) to identify hospitalizations for acute MI and compared outcomes between patients with and without IBD. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between IBD and post-MI complications. Associations were summarized as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results:
Among 1,456,940 MI hospitalizations, 7,430 had IBD. After adjustment, IBD was associated with higher odds of mortality (aOR 3.32, 95% CI 3.18-3.47; p < 0.0001), left ventricular rupture (aOR 4.46, 95% CI 3.16-6.28; p < 0.0001), left ventricular aneurysm (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.61-2.31; p < 0.0001), acute mitral regurgitation (aOR 9.80, 95% CI 6.81-14.10; p < 0.0001), and stent restenosis (aOR 1.16, 95% CI 1.07-1.26; p = 0.0002). IBD was also associated with longer hospital stay (coefficient 2.13 days, 95% CI 2.03-2.23; p < 0.0001) and higher total hospital charges.Conclusion: IBD was associated with worse in-hospital outcomes and higher resource utilization after MI in this nationwide hospitalization-level analysis.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
