Abstract Introduction Traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease have been reported in around 85% patients who present with myocardial infarction. More recently, inflammation and immune mediated diseases have been associated with ischemic heart disease. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an immune mediated disorder which comprises of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Estimated prevalence of IBD in the United States in 2004 was 1.4 million people. These patients have an overall increased risk of thrombotic complications with microvascular thrombosis hypothesized to contribute in disease pathogenesis. Results from a recent meta-analysis were consistent with increased risk of ischemic heart disease among IBD patients, with risk greater in females and younger patients, although heterogeneity was considerable in overall data. Also, in a recent study, IBD was found to be associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction and heart failure despite lower prevalence of coronary risk factors in IBD patients. IBD pathogenesis involves sustained activation of immune responses with upregulation of cytokines including but not limited to IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Upregulation of these cytokines has also been reported in coronary atherosclerosis. Based on above information, we explored incidence of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Event) in this patient population from our health system data-base. Methods Propensity scores were estimated for all 15,292 (0.4%) patients with inflammatory bowel disease from a total patient pool of 3,917,894 patients in our health system to assemble a 1:1 matched cohort balanced for age, gender, race and known cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and smoking (current and former). ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to identify cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes. Results Matched patients (n=30,584) had a mean age of 51 years, with 58% of all being women, and 63% Caucasian. During the median follow up of 4.4 years all-cause mortality was observed in 1.7% and 1.2% of patients from IBD and non-IBD groups respectively (hazard ratio {HR}, 1.31; 95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.08–1.58; p=0.005). Combined outcome for myocardial infarction or all-cause mortality was noted in 4.1% and 3.4% from IBD and non-IBD groups respectively (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03–1.30; p=0.014) while HRs for cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction and unstable angina independently were 1.04 (0.74–1.47; p=0.833), 1.05 (0.89–1.23; p=0.591) and 1.10 (0.83–1.46; p=0.524) respectively. Conclusion Inflammatory bowel disease did not show association with myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality or unstable angina when matched for known cardiovascular risk factors, but was associated with increased all-cause mortality and combined end-point of all-cause mortality or myocardial infarction.

Abstract Background Previous studies showed inconsistent results regarding associations between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and diabetes. The present study aimed to make a meta-analysis to assess the risk of IHD and diabetes in IBD. Methods We searched for articles published before February 2020 in the databases as follows: PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. We computed odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) regarding the association between IBD and risk of IHD or diabetes by using STATA 13.0 software. Results The present meta-analysis showed that IBD was associated with higher risk of IHD (OR/RR = 1.26, 95 % CI 1.20 to 1.32, I2 = 88.3 %, p < 0.0001). Additionally, both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) were associated with higher risk of IHD (UC: OR/RR = 1.19, 95 % CI 1.13 to 1.26, I2 = 65.6 %, p = 0.001; CD: OR/RR = 1.33, 95 % CI 1.17 to 1.51, I2 = 89.5 %, p < 0.0001). The study showed that IBD was associated with elevated risk of diabetes (OR/RR = 1.26, 95 % CI 1.03 to 1.53, I2 = 92.1 %, I2 = 92.1 %, p < 0.0001). Additionally, both UC and CD were associated with higher risk of diabetes (UC: OR/RR = 1.33, 95 % CI 1.03 to 1.71, I2 = 93.8 %, p < 0.0001; CD: OR/RR = 1.39, 95 % CI 1.10 to 1.76, I2 = 76.7 %, p = 0.002). Conclusion In conclusion, patients with IBD are at increased risk of IHD and diabetes. Thus, regular monitoring of biomarkers of IHD and blood glucose levels should be considered for the early detection of IHD and diabetes in IBD patients.

Introduction As the population ages and the prevalence of comorbid conditions increases, the need for feasible, validated methods of comorbidity surveillance in chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) increases. Methods Using kappa (k) statistics, we evaluated the performance of administrative case definitions for comorbidities commonly observed in MS by comparing agreement between Manitoba (MB) administrative data and self-report (n = 606) and Nova Scotia (NS) administrative data and self-report (n = 1923). Results Agreement between the administrative definitions and self-report was substantial for hypertension (k = 0.69 [NS], 0.76 [MB]) and diabetes (k = 0.70 [NS], 0.66 [MB]); moderate for hyperlipidemia (k = 0.53 [NS], 0.51 [MB]) and heart disease (k = 0.42 [NS], 0.51 [MB]) and fair for anxiety (k = 0.27 [NS], 0.26 [MB]). In NS, agreement was substantial for inflammatory bowel disease (k = 0.71) and moderate for epilepsy (k = 0.48). Conclusion Administrative definitions for commonly observed comorbidities in MS performed well in 2 distinct jurisdictions. This suggests that they could be used more broadly across Canada and in national studies.

Atherosclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often regarded as 2 distinct entities. The commonest manifestation of atherosclerosis is ischemic heart disease (IHD), and an association between IHD and IBD has been reported. Atherosclerosis and IBD share common pathophysiological mechanisms in terms of their genetics, immunology, and contributing environmental factors. Factors associated with atherosclerosis are implicated in the development of IBD and vice versa. Therefore, treatments targeting the common pathophysiology pathways may be effective in both conditions. The current review considers the pathophysiological pathways that are shared between the 2 conditions and discusses the implications for treatment and research.
