Relation between inflammatory bowel disease, depression, and inpatient outcomes in the United States.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depression is complicated. The effect of depression on ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) among the inpatient US population has not previously been studied.

In the UC population, 13.4% had depression, compared to 14.9% in the CD population. LOS was longer in UC and CD patients with depression (P < 0.001).
