Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are reported to be at elevated risk for postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). The rate and location of these VTE complications is unclear. METHODS Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) undergoing intestinal operations between January 2006 and March 2021 were identified from the medical record at a single institution. The overall incidence of VTEs and their anatomic location were determined to 90 days postoperatively. RESULTS In 2716 operations in patients with UC, VTE prevalence was 1.95% at 1-30 days, 0.74% at 31-60 days, and 0.48% at 90 days (P < 0.0001). Seventy two percent of VTEs within the first 30 days were in the portomesenteric system, and this remained the location for the majority of VTE events at 31-60 and 61-90 days postoperatively. In the first 30 days, proctectomies had the highest incidence of VTEs (2.5%) in patients with UC. In 2921 operations in patients with CD, VTE prevalence was 1.43%, 0.55%, and 0.41% at 1-30 days, 31-60 days, and 61-90 days, respectively (P < 0.0001). Portomesenteric VTEs accounted for 31% of all VTEs within 30 days postoperatively. In the first 30 days, total abdominal colectomies had the highest incidence of VTEs (2.5%) in patients with CD. CONCLUSIONS The majority of VTEs within 90 days of surgery for UC and Crohn's are diagnosed within the first 30 days. The risk of a VTE varies by the extent of the operation performed, with portomesenteric VTE representing a substantial proportion of events.

Abstract
Emerging data highlights the heightened risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders, particularly those afflicted with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review delves into the epidemiological connections between IBD and ASCVD, elucidating potential underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, it discusses the impact of current IBD treatments on cardiovascular risk. Additionally, the cardiovascular adverse effects of novel small molecule drugs used in moderate-to-severe IBD are investigated, drawing parallels with observations in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This article aims to comprehensively evaluate the existing evidence supporting these associations. To achieve this, we conducted a meticulous search of PubMed, spanning from inception to August 2023, using a carefully selected set of keywords. The search encompassed topics related to IBD, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as ASCVD, including coronary artery disease, cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, conduction abnormalities, heart blocks, and premature coronary artery disease. This review encompasses various types of literature, including retrospective and prospective cohort studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and relevant guidelines, with the objective of providing a comprehensive overview of this critical intersection of inflammatory bowel disease and cardiovascular health.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major issue in trauma patients. Without prophylaxis, the rate of deep venous thrombosis approaches 60% and even with chemoprophylaxis may be nearly 30%. Advances in VTE reduction are imperative to reduce the burden of this issue in the trauma population. Novel approaches in VTE prevention may include new medications, dosing regimens, and extending prophylaxis to the postdischarge phase of care. Standard dosing regimens of low-molecular-weight heparin are insufficient in trauma, shifting our focus toward alternative dosing strategies to improve prophylaxis. Mixed data suggest that anti-Xa-guided dosage, weight-based dosing, and thromboelastography are among these potential strategies. The concern for VTE in trauma does not end upon discharge, however. The risk for VTE in this population extends well beyond hospitalization. Variable extended thromboprophylaxis regimens using aspirin, low-molecular-weight heparin, and direct oral anticoagulants have been suggested to mitigate this prolonged VTE risk, but the ideal approach for outpatient VTE prevention is still unclear. As part of the 2022 Consensus Conference to Implement Optimal Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Trauma, a multidisciplinary array of participants, including physicians from multiple specialties, pharmacists, nurses, advanced practice providers, and patients met to attack these issues. This paper aims to review the current literature on novel approaches for optimizing VTE prevention in injured patients and identify research gaps that should be investigated to improve VTE rates in trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following colorectal surgery and there is currently no consensus on post-surgical VTE prevention or specific VTE risk assessment tools. We sought to evaluate VTE risk after colorectal surgery and determine if known risk factors used in risk assessment tools adequate correlate with VTE risk in IBD patients. METHODS Retrospective cohort study using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) Participant User File from 2010 to 2018. RESULTS A total of 27,679 patients were included; 19,015 (68.7%) had Crohn's disease (CD) and 8664 (31.3%) ulcerative colitis (UC). Of these, 16,749 (60.5%) underwent abdominopelvic procedures, 10,178 (36.8%) complex pelvic procedures, and 752 (2.7%) small bowel operations. The overall VTE rate was 2.3%. The VTE rate in patients with CD and UC was 1.8% and 3.6% (p < 0.001) respectively. Overall median time to VTE was 9 days after surgery. VTE rate was highest in patients who underwent complex pelvic procedures (3.6%; 361/10,178). A risk score was calculated using 16/40 available variables from the Caprini VTE Risk Assessment tool; risk score ranged from 3 to 12 points. Most patients that developed a VTE had a score between 3 and 5 points (75.6%), and only 24.5% had a score of 6 or higher. Patients with higher risk scores did not have a higher VTE incidence. CONCLUSION Post-surgical VTE rates are high in IBD patients. Over half of the events occurred following discharge and in patients with an apparent low-risk score. Additional studies are warranted to define a recommended postoperative VTE prophylaxis regimen for patients with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients admitted to hospital with inflammatory bowel disease[IBD] are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism[VTE]. This study aims to identify IBD patients at increased VTE risk on hospital discharge and to develop a risk scoring system to recognise them. METHODS Hospital episode statistics data were used to identify all patients admitted with IBD as an emergency or electively for surgery. All patients with VTE within 90 days of hospital discharge were identified. A multilevel logistic regression model was used to identify patient- and admission-level factors associated with VTE. A scoring system to identify patients at higher risk for VTE was constructed. RESULTS A total of 201 779 admissions in 101 966 patients were included. The rate of VTE within 90 days was 17.2 per 1000 patient-years at risk and was highest in patients admitted as an emergency who underwent surgery[36.9]. VTE was associated with: female sex (odds ratio 0.65 [95% confidence interval 0.53-0.80], p <0.001); increasing age [49-60 years] (4.67 [3.36-6.49], p <0.001); increasing length of hospital stay [>10 days] (3.80 [2.80-5.15], p <0.001); more than two hospital admissions in previous 3 months (2.23 [1.60-3.10], p <0.001); ulcerative colitis (1.48 [1.21-1.82], p <0.001); and emergency admission including surgery (1.59 [1.12-2.27], p = 0.010); or emergency admission not including surgery (1.59 [1.08-2.35], p = 0.019) compared with elective surgery. A score >12 in the VTE scoring system gave a positive predictive value [PPV] of VTE of 1%. The area under the curve [AUC] was 0.714 [95% CI 0.70-0.73]. CONCLUSION IBD patients admitted to hospital with a prolonged length of stay, increasing age, male sex, or as an emergency were at increased risk of VTE following discharge. Higher-risk patients were identifiable by a VTE risk scoring system.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The increased risk of CVD concerns an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure (HF), at corresponding relative risks of 2.5, 1.2 and 2.0, respectively, as compared with the general population. Especially young patients under the age of 40 years run a relatively high risk of these complications when compared with the general population. Chronic systemic inflammation causes a hypercoagulable state leading to the prothrombotic tendency characteristic of VTE, and accelerates all stages involved during atherogenesis in ASCVD. Increased awareness of VTE risk is warranted in patients with extensive colonic disease in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, as well as during hospitalization, especially when patients are scheduled for surgery. Similarly, critical periods for ASCVD events are the 3 months prior to and 3 months after an IBD-related hospital admission. The increased ASCVD risk is not fully explained by an increased prevalence of traditional risk factors and includes pro-atherogenc lipid profiles with high levels of small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol particles and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Risk factors associated with HF are location and extent of inflammation, female sex, and age exceeding 40 years. A dose-dependent increase of overall CVD risk has been reported for corticosteroids. Immunomodulating maintenance therapy might reduce CVD risk in IBD, not only by a direct reduction of chronic systemic inflammation but possibly also by a direct effect of IBD medication on platelet aggregation, endothelial function and lipid and glucose metabolism. More data are needed to define these effects accurately. Despite accumulating evidence on the increased CVD risk in IBD, congruent recommendations to develop preventive strategies are lacking. This literature review provides an overview of current knowledge and identifies gaps in evidence regarding CVD risk in IBD, by discussing epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical management.

Abstract
Background: Patients suffering from chronic inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disorder, are at higher risk of developing thromboembolism. The chronic inflammatory nature of inflammatory bowel disease has been identified as a predominant reason for a state of Virchow's triad (i.e., endothelial dysfunction, stasis, and general hypercoagulability), eventually leading to the onset of venous thromboembolism. Recent studies show that certain factors, such as demographics, medication history, and history of surgical intervention may increase thromboembolism risk in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. However, to date, no study has attempted to evaluate the effect of different risk factors associated with the development of venous thromboembolism in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Objective: To evaluate the risk factors that can influence the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: Academic literature was systematically searched based on the PRISMA guidelines across five databases: Web of Science, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Scopus, and MEDLINE. A random-effect meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the hazard ratio for the risk factors (i.e., aging, gender, steroid therapy, surgery, and ulcerative colitis) that can influence the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Results: From a total of 963 studies, 18 eligible studies with 1,062,985 (44.59 ± 10.18 years) patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease were included in the review. A meta-analysis revealed a higher risk of aging (Hazard's ratio: 2.19), steroids (1.87), surgery (1.48), and ulcerative colitis (2.06) on venous thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We also found that the female gender (0.92) did not increase the incidence of venous thromboembolism in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Conclusion: The study provides preliminary evidence regarding high risks associated with ulcerative colitis, steroid consumption, and aging for the development of venous thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The findings from this study may contribute to developing awareness among clinicians, better risk stratification and prevention of venous thromboembolic complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
