Temporal trends in 30-day and 90-day hospital readmission rates among individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases in Ontario, Canada: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are at increased risk of repeated disease-related hospital admissions, some of which may be preventable with targeted outpatient interventions. We assessed population-level trends in the rates of IBD-specific hospital readmission within 30 and 90 days of index hospitalization among those with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) during a period marked by major changes to IBD management.

Methods

We accessed Ontario health administrative datasets to study CD (2002-2017) and UC (2004-2020) patients hospitalized for IBD-specific indications. We compared IBD-specific 30-day and 90-day hospital readmission rates across 4 (UC) and 5 (CD) year time periods using multivariable logistic regression, controlling f
