Association between inflammatory bowel disease and atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a prevalent condition associated with chronic noninfectious inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It has been hypothesized that chronic inflammation can predispose patients to atrial fibrillation (AF), however, no clear evidence exists to support this. A systematic literature search was conducted using major databases aimed at studies focusing on AF development in patients with IBD. Further subgroup analyses were performed for ulcerative colitis (UC) and crohn's disease (CD). Risk ratios (RR) with their corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using a random-effects model in the Review Manager Software. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Seven studies with 88,89
