Background: There is no uniformity in the available literature concerning the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) viral illness on people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: We conducted an analysis using the 2020 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to compare the outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalized patients with and without IBD.
Results: Of 1,050,040 patients admitted with COVID-19, 5,750 (0.5%) also had IBD. The group with COVID-19 and IBD had higher percentages of females and White individuals and a greater prevalence of chronic lung disease, peripheral vascular disease, and liver disease. However, after accounting for confounding variables, there was no significant difference in mortality rates, length of hospital stays, or hospitalization costs between the two groups.
Conclusion: According to our findings, the presence of IBD does not appear to elevate the risk of COVID-19 complications.
Keywords: Acute kidney injury; COVID-19; Gastrointestinal complications; Inflammatory bowel disease.
