Risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have reported the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of AF in the IBD population.

Methods

We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed and Embase databases for relevant studies published up to February 2024. We used the random-effects model to pool the prevalence and incidence rates of AF among IBD patients. The subgroup analyses were performed according to the IBD type.

Results

A total of twenty-five studies were included. The pooled prevalence of AF among IBD patients was 6.23 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 4.99 %-7.47 %). The incidence rate of AF among IBD patients was 3.53 % (95
