Abstract

BACKGROUND: Intestinal ischaemia, including ischaemic colitis and acute mesenteric ischaemia, causes significant morbidity and mortality. Few population-based studies have estimated incidence and potential risk factors for this disease. AIMS: To estimate the incidence of intestinal ischaemia and identify the associated risk factors in cohorts: (i) patients with irritable bowel syndrome and/or chronic constipation (IBS/CC/both), (ii) individuals free of these conditions. METHODS: Population-based case-control analysis nested in a cohort of patients with first ever recorded diagnosis of IBS/CC/both and a cohort free of these conditions from general population using the General Practice Research Database. RESULTS: Of 78 cases of intestinal ischaemia, 71 were from general population, seven from the IBS/CC/both cohort. Incidence rate of intestinal ischaemia in IBS/CC/both patients vs. general population was 4.49:1.09 per 100,000 person-years; age- and gender-adjusted incidence rate ratio (95% CI) was 2.7 (1.2-5.9). Inflammatory bowel disease and heart failure showed an association with ischaemic colitis [OR (95% CI): 4.2 (0.5-38.4) and 5.6 (2.2-14.1)], but none with acute mesenteric ischaemia. Diabetes and prior cardiovascular surgery were associated with higher risk of acute mesenteric ischaemia, but showed no association with ischaemic colitis. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that different risk factors are associated with acute mesenteric ischaemia and ischaemic colitis. However, due to small number of patients, associations should be carefully interpreted.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
