Abstract
OBJECTIVES Disorders of immune system may impact cardiovascular health; however, comprehensive study is lacking. We aimed to analyse the association of total and 20 individual immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) with risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS In this prospective cohort study, 414 495 participants (55.6% women; mean age 55.9 years) from UK Biobank with baseline assessment at 2006-10 were included. Among them, 21 784 participants had prevalent IMDs. Information on IMDs at baseline and incidence of CVDs during follow-up were recorded. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association between IMDs and CVDs risk. RESULTS During the median follow-up of 12.1 years, there were 6506 cases of CVDs in participants with IMDs (29.9%) and 77 699 cases in those without IMDs (19.8%). After multivariable adjustment, participants with IMDs were significantly associated with an increased risk of total CVD [hazard ratio (HR) 1.57; 95% CI 1.52-1.61]. Among the 20 IMDs, 16 showed significant associations with CVD (all P < 0.0025 after Bonferroni correction), with HR ranging from 1.34 (1.16-1.54) for celiac disease to 2.75 (2.10-3.61) for SLE. Participants with any IMD exposure had a higher risk of all individual CVD events, with HR ranging from 1.34 (1.14-1.58) for cerebral hemorrhage to 1.80 (1.54-2.11) for pericardium diseases. IMD duration <5, 5-10 and >10 years was associated with 55%, 59% and 56% increased risk of total CVD, respectively. CONCLUSION Total and individual IMDs were associated with an increased risk of overall CVDs. It is important to consider primary prevention of CVD in patients with IMD and dysregulation of immune system in the cardiovascular health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies investigated the risks of neurological conditions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with some variability in findings. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of available evidence to elucidate the association between IBD and the risks of common neurological disorders. METHODS We conducted a literature search through Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest databases from inception to June 30, 2023, to identify cohort studies assessing the risk of developing stroke, all-cause dementia, Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), seizure/epilepsy, and peripheral neuropathy in adult IBD patients compared with non-IBD population. We combined hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to compute pooled estimates using a random-effects model. RESULTS In total, 22 cohort studies were included, of which 9 studies reported 7074 stroke events in 202 460 IBD patients, 5 studies reported 3783 all-cause dementia diagnoses in 109 602 IBD patients, 7 studies reported 932 PD diagnoses in 354 792 IBD patients, and 1 study reported 6 MS events in 35 581 IBD patients. We observed increased risks of incident stroke (pooled HR = 1.19; 95% CI, 1.06-1.31), all-cause dementia (pooled HR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.38), PD (pooled HR = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.20-1.58), and MS (HR = 2.89; 95% CI, 1.02-8.42). No eligible studies were found on peripheral neuropathy and seizure/epilepsy. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory bowel disease may be modestly associated with increased risks of stroke, all-cause dementia, and PD. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to investigate potential links with MS, seizure/epilepsy, and peripheral neuropathy, as well as their clinical significance.

Abstract
Background/objectives Recently, four meta-analyses have explored the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the risk of stroke. These studies have demonstrated that people with IBD may be at an increased risk of stroke. However, some limitations such as high heterogeneity and the lack of uniformity in the types of research, especially the reuse of some sample sizes, cannot be neglected. These factors reduce the credibility of their research conclusions. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore this possible association. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception to 30 June 2023. A random effects model with the generic inverse variance method was used in this meta-analysis. The Review Manager software was used to obtain all relative risks (RRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Publication bias was tested, and sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted to explore possible heterogeneities. Results This meta-analysis included 12 cohort studies (involving 4,495,055 individuals). Meta-analysis of these data has shown that IBD was associated with an increased risk of stroke (RR = 1.19, 95%CI:1.14-1.24, p < 0.00001). Our results were stable and robust in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Conclusions Our results suggest that IBD is associated with an increased risk of stroke. To reduce the incidence of stroke, patients with IBD are encouraged to undergo stroke risk assessments, especially for young female patients; assessing the risk of ischemic stroke is of particular importance. Prospective studies considering stroke subtypes, IBD severity and treatments, regions, and other confounding factors are needed to further explore the nature of each association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited and conflicting data available regarding the cardiovascular disease outcomes associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). OBJECTIVE We aim to perform a systematic review to evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes and mortality associated with IBD patients. METHODS A systematic literature search has been performed on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus from inception till May 2022 without any language restrictions. RESULTS A total of 2,029,941 patients were included in the analysis from 16 studies. The mean age of the patients was 45.6 years. More females were found compared with males (57% vs 43%). The most common risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) included smoking (24.19%) and alcohol (4.60%). The most common comorbidities includes hypertension (30%), diabetes mellitus (14.41%), dyslipidemia (18.42%), previous CVD (22%), and renal disease (10%). Among outcomes, all-cause mortality among IBD patients was 1.66%; ulcerative colitis (UC): 15.92%; and Crohn disease (CD): 0.30%. Myocardial Infarction (MI) among IBD patients were 1.47%, UC: 30.96%; and CD: 34.14%. CVD events among IBD patients were 1.95%. Heart failure events among IBD patients were 5.49%, stroke events among IBD patients were 0.95%, UC: 2.63%, and CD: 2.41%, respectively. CONCLUSION IBD patients are at higher risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, especially in women. Although there remains a lack of concrete treatment algorithms and assessment parameters that better characterize IBD risk factors, nutritional modifications and physical activity should be at the forefront of CVD prevention in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and stroke showed conflicting results. METHODS Articles published before July 2020 were searched in databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, EMBASE, and Google Scholar). We computed all multivariate odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) by using STATA 12.0 software. RESULTS The meta-analysis indicated that IBD was associated with an elevated risk of stroke (OR/RR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.34, I2 = 83.6%, p < .001). In addition, both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) were associated with a higher risk of stroke (CD: OR/RR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.52, I2 = 86.1%, p < .001; UC: OR/RR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.15, I2 = 54.7%, p = .051). Subgroup study showed that IBD was associated with a higher risk of stroke in cohort studies (RR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.36, I2 = 85.0%, p < .001). Subgroup study showed that IBD was related to an elevated risk of stroke in both Caucasian and Asian groups (Caucasian group: OR/RR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.23, I2 = 44.6%, p = .094; Asian group: OR/RR =1.36, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.74, I2 = 92.5%, p < .001). CONCLUSION IBD is a risk factor for stroke. More high-quality large-sample epidemiologic studies about the relationship between IBD and stroke should be further conducted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The application of bowel movement frequency (BMF) in primary care is limited by the lack of solid evidence about the associations of BMF with health outcomes apart from Parkinson's disease and colorectal cancer. We examined the prospective associations of BMF with major vascular and non-vascular diseases outside the digestive system. DESIGN Population-based prospective cohort study. SETTING The China Kadoorie Biobank in which participants from 10 geographically diverse areas across China were enrolled between 2004 and 2008. PARTICIPANTS 487 198 participants aged 30 to 79 years without cancer, heart disease or stroke at baseline were included and followed up for a median of 10 years. The usual BMF was self-reported once at baseline. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Incident events of predefined major vascular and non-vascular diseases. RESULTS In multivariable-adjusted analyses, participants having bowel movements 'more than once a day' had higher risks of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) when compared with the reference group ('once a day'). The respective HRs (95% CIs) were 1.12 (1.09 to 1.16), 1.33 (1.22 to 1.46), 1.28 (1.22 to 1.36), 1.20 (1.15 to 1.26) and 1.15 (1.07 to 1.24). The lowest BMF ('less than three times a week') was also associated with higher risks of IHD, major coronary events, ischaemic stroke and CKD. The respective HRs were 1.07 (1.02 to 1.12), 1.22 (1.10 to 1.36), 1.11 (1.05 to 1.16) and 1.20 (1.07 to 1.35). CONCLUSION BMF was associated with future risks of multiple vascular and non-vascular diseases. The integration of BMF assessment and health counselling into primary care should be considered.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects the digestive tract. In addition to intestinal manifestations, it also has many extraintestinal manifestations. There have been a number of reports of IBD with secondary opportunistic infections, perforation, cancer, etc. IBD is reported with more and more cardiovascular events, but the conclusions are still controversial. At present, clinicians pay insufficient attention to the assessment of cardiocerebral and peripheral vascular risks in IBD. This article reviews the relevant literature on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular risks in IBD published in recent years, with an aim to help clinicians be familiar with these risks and develop individualized management regimens in clinical practice.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the most common diseases leading to death and is the primary cause of physical handicap. Recent studies have reported that chronic colitis increases the risk of ischemic stroke, but it is unknown whether chronic colitis participates in ischemic brain injury directly. A combined mouse model of chronic colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and ischemic stroke induced by photochemical infarction was used in this study. We demonstrated that chronic colitis significantly increased the infarction volume, activated microglia/macrophage numbers, proliferation of M1 microglia/macrophage, non-gut-derived CD4+ T lymphocyte penetration and decreased neuron numbers in the peri-infarction at 7 d after stroke. Furthermore, gut-derived CD4+ T cell accumulation on the meninges was observed at 7 d after stroke. In addition, selective depletion of meningeal macrophages resulted in a reduction of infarction volume and the non-gut-derived CD4+ T lymphocyte penetration. We concluded that chronic colitis exacerbated ischemic stroke by promoting CD4+ T cell migration from the gut to the meninges and disequilibrium of M1 and M2 microglia/macrophages. We speculated that the gut-derived CD4+ T cells may interact with meningeal macrophages and result in non-gut-derived CD4+ T lymphocyte infiltration that aggravated brain injury in ischemic stroke.

Increased risk of periodontitis among patients with Crohn's disease: a population-based matched-cohort study. Int J Colorectal Dis 2018; 33:1437-1444.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a frequently cited extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease (CD). Despite a plethora of investigations and a recent meta-analysis linking CD and periodontitis, no study has estimated the risk of periodontitis among CD patients with respect to a comparison group nor has any investigation analyzed the effect of CD-specific medications on the risk of periodontitis. The present cohort study compared CD patients and matched subjects without a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to estimate the effect of CD and CD-specific pharmaceutical prescriptions on the risk of developing periodontitis by leveraging a population-based dataset in Taiwan. METHODS We sourced 6657 CD patients and 26,628 comparison subjects without a history of IBD from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database. Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to estimate the risk of subsequent periodontitis by CD status and pharmaceutical prescription during the follow-up period. RESULTS After adjusting for socioeconomic status (SES), urbanicity, selected medical co-morbidities, and CD-specific pharmaceutical prescriptions, the hazard ratio (HR) for subsequent periodontitis among patients with CD was 1.36 (95% CI = 1.25-1.48) that of comparison subjects. There was not a significant difference in risk between genders or across ages. Steroids (95% CI = 0.66-0.77) appeared to confer a protective effect and Aspirin, Plavix, and Licodin were marginally protective (95% CI = 0.76-0.95). CONCLUSION This is the first study to report an increased HR for subsequent periodontitis among CD patients when compared to matched comparison subjects without IBD. The protective effect of some pharmaceuticals may suggest that treatment of CD protects against periodontitis.

Abstract
Background The risk of cardiovascular disease occurrence and death in inflammatory bowel disease patients is still unclear. Design Meta-analysis. Methods Pertinent studies were identified by searching articles in PubMed and Web of Knowledge to December 2017 and reviewing the reference lists of the retrieved articles. We used the fixed-effect model to pool the study-specific estimates when there was no indication of heterogeneity; otherwise, the random-effect model was used. Results A total of 27 articles was included, of which 11 studies reported the risk of cardiovascular disease incidence and 16 studies reported the risk of cardiovascular disease death. The pooled relative risks were 1.25 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08, 1.44), 1.17 (95% CI: 1.07, 1.27) and 1.12 (95% CI: 1.05, 1.21) for cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction, respectively. In particular, the pooled relative risk was much higher in females. The pooled standardized mortality ratios were 1.01 (95% CI: 0.90, 1.14) for Crohn's disease patients and 0.93 (95% CI: 0.86, 1.01) for ulcerative colitis patients with low heterogeneity across studies. No publication bias was detected. Conclusions There was a positive association between inflammatory bowel disease and higher risk of cardiovascular disease incidence, particularly in females. Such an association was not observed for cardiovascular disease mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is one type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that has been speculated to share prognostic factors with the development of stroke. There is controversial information in the literature regarding the association between CD and stroke. The present cohort study estimated the risk of subsequent stroke among CD patients compared with matched comparison subjects drawn from a population-based dataset in Taiwan. METHOD This study drew data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database to conduct a historical cohort study. The study cohort comprised 3309 CD patients, and the comparison cohort comprised 13,236 subjects without an IBD. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to estimate the risk of subsequent stroke during the follow-up period. We also conducted additional analyses stratifying by age group and gender. RESULTS After adjusting for selected medical co-morbidities and recent prescriptions of selected pharmaceuticals, the hazard ratio (HR) for subsequent stroke among patients with CD was found to be 1.911 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.65-2.22) that of comparison subjects. While we did not detect an association between stroke and CD among patients aged 30-40 years, we did detect increased risks for stroke among CD patients aged 40-50 years (HR = 2.29) and those aged over 50 years (HR = 1.88). We also found women (HR = 2.39) to be at a greater risk than men (HR = 1.50). CONCLUSION This study reports an increased HR for subsequent stroke among CD patients when compared to matched comparison patients without IBD in an Asian population.
