Real-World Insurance Claims Analysis of Venous Thromboembolism in Japanese Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which encompasses both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).

Aim

To investigate the incidence of, and risk factors for, VTE in patients with IBD in Japan.

Methods

This was a retrospective, non-interventional study in patients with IBD from the Japan Medical Data Center claims database. Incidence rates (IRs; unique patients with events per 100 patient-years) were calculated for VTE, DVT, and PE among the IBD, UC, and CD cohorts. Odds ratios of potential risk factors were calculated by univariate and multivariate analyses in a nested case-control design.

Results

Overall, 16 273 patients
