Inflammatory Bowel Disease Adversely Impacts Colorectal Cancer Surgery Short-term Outcomes and Health-Care Resource Utilization.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to patients without IBD. There is a lack of population-based data evaluating the in-patient surgical outcomes of CRC in IBD patients. We sought to compare the hospital outcomes of CRC surgery between patients with and without IBD.

Methods

We used the National Inpatient Sample (2008-2012) and Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD, 2013) and selected all adult patients (age ≥18 years) with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who underwent CRC surgery. Multivariate analysis for in-patient outcomes of postoperative complications, health-care resource utilization, readmission rate, and mortality were performed.

Results

A total of 397,847 patients
