Key clinical point: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be a risk factor for stroke.
Major finding: IBD was associated with an increased risk for stroke (odds ratio/relative risk [OR/RR], 1.21; P less than .001). Additionally, both Crohn's disease (OR/RR, 1.25; P less than .001) and ulcerative colitis (OR/RR, 1.09; P = .051) were associated with an increased risk for stroke.
Study details: Findings are from a meta-analysis of 9 studies involving 791,010 patients with IBD or stroke.
Disclosures: The study was supported by the General Project of Chongqing Natural Science Foundation and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. All authors declared no conflicts of interest.
