Thromboembolic Risk in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

The presence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is an increased risk for venous thromboses; in fact, patients hospitalized for this disease are often put under preventive therapy with anti-thrombotics. In order to quantify this risk, some English researchers have used their database to identify 14,000 patients with IBS and about 72,000 equal controls, following them for about 4 years. Among controls, the incidence of venous thromboembolism has been of 13.9 episodes/1000 people/year during hospitalizations and of 0.4 episodes/1000 people/year during outpatient periods.
