Evaluating the Impact of Obesity and Different Metabolic Statuses on the Prognosis of Hospitalized Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereas not all obese individuals have the same effect. In individuals with obesity, the role of metabolic status in the readmission of IBD remains unclear. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between different obesity metabolic phenotypes and the prognosis of IBD patients.

Methods

We conducted a longitudinal cohort study using Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) (2018 sample). Out of 12,928,231 discharge records, 63,748 records with a discharge diagnosis of IBD were identified for analysis. Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated, adjusting for potential confounders.

Results

During a 180-day follow-up in IBD patients wi
