Systematic review and meta-analysis: the impact of co-occurring immune-mediated inflammatory diseases on the disease localization and behavior of Crohn's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are at increased risk of co-occurring immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). As discrepancy exists regarding the phenotypic presentation of CD among patients with such co-occurring IMIDs, we aimed to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis characterizing the phenotype of CD among this subgroup of patients.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched from their earliest records to October 2019 for studies reporting the behavior and localization of CD according to the Vienna or Montreal Classifications and CD-related surgery in patients with co-occurring IMIDs. These studies were the subject of a random effect meta-analysis.

Results

After reviewing 24,413 studies, we identified a tota
