Outcomes after acute coronary syndrome in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Résumé
Background: Patients with chronic inflammatory conditions are at an increased risk of developing atherothrombotic events. We aimed to assess the 1-year prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: From the PMSI (Program de Medicalisation des Systèmes d'informatique) database, 246 out of 39,835 consecutive MI patients, hospitalized between 2012 and 2017, were diagnosed with IBD and followed up for 1 year after discharge. A matched cohort was built matching each MI patient with IBD to patient without IBD using age and sex (n = 1,470, matching ratio 1:5).
Results: Compared with MI patients without IBD, MI patients with IBD were younger (aged 69 vs. 70.8 years, p = 0.04) with a higher rate of increased body mass index (BMI) (21.5% vs 15%, p = 0.004), previously diagnosed ischemic cardiopathy (18.3% vs 12.6%, p < 0.0008) and chronic renal disease (8.9% vs 5.6%, p = 0.02). In our age- and sex-matched cohort, we found that all-cause mortality (9% vs 8.3, p = 0.729), stroke (0.8% vs 0.6%, p = 0.656) and hospitalization resulting from heart failure (3ool, .3% vs 3.5%, p = 0.846) did not significantly differ between the IBD and non-IBD groups within the first year after initial admission whereas the risk of recurrent MI was increased by 50% (2.9% vs 1.9%, p = 0.33) in the IBD group without reaching statistical significance. Moreover, a significant increase in the blood transfusion rate at the 1-year follow-up was observed in MI patients with IBD compared with MI patients without IBD (15.1% vs 9.4%, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that both residual MI risk and bleeding events should be carefully monitored in MI patients diagnosed with chronic inflammation such as that observed in IBD.
