Yuan S, Sun Y, Chen J, Li X, Larsson SC. Long-term risk of venous thromboembolism among patients with gastrointestinal non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases: A prospective cohort study of 484 211 individuals. Am J Hematol 2024; 99:172-181. [PMID: 37753710 DOI: 10.1002/ajh.27106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
We conducted a prospective cohort study to examine the associations of 21 gastrointestinal diseases with the risk of incident venous thromboembolism (VTE). The study included 485 936 UK Biobank participants free of baseline VTE. The gastrointestinal diseases were defined by the International Classification of Disease (ICD)-9 and 10 codes with data from the nationwide inpatient data set, the primary care data set, and the cancer registries. Incident VTE cases were defined by ICD-9 and 10 codes with data from the nationwide inpatient data set. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the associations of baseline gastrointestinal diseases with incident VTE risk. During a median follow-up of 12.0 years, 13 646 incident VTE cases were diagnosed. Eleven gastrointestinal diseases (nine non-neoplastic and two neoplastic) were associated with an increased risk of incident VTE after Bonferroni corrections. The risk of VTE was >50% higher among patients with gallbladder and biliary tract cancer (hazard ratio [HR] 3.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 95% CI 1.74-5.70), pancreatic cancer (HR 2.84, 95% CI 1.65-4.91), cirrhosis (HR 2.34, 95% CI 1.96-2.79), Crohn's disease (HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.33-1.95), or pancreatitis (HR 1.57, 95% CI 1.31-1.88) compared with individuals without each of these diseases. We observed multiplicative interactions of age, sex, and body mass index with some gastrointestinal diseases (p < .05). A more pronounced, increased risk of VTE was found among younger, female, or obese patients. The study suggests a 50% higher risk of developing VTE among patients with gallbladder and biliary tract cancer, pancreatic cancer, cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, or pancreatitis.

Risk of venous thromboembolism in autoimmune diseases: A comprehensive review. Autoimmun Rev 2023; 22:103447. [PMID: 37714419 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2023.103447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
Autoimmune diseases have specific pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to an increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis. The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) varies according to the type and stage of the disease, and to concomitant treatments. In this review, we revise the most common autoimmune disease such as antiphospholipid syndrome, inflammatory myositis, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, Sjogren syndrome, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, vasculitis and inflammatory bowel disease. We also provide an overview of pathophysiology responsible for the risk of VTE in each autoimmune disorder, and report current indications to anticoagulant treatment for primary and secondary prevention of VTE.

Risk of acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and venous thromboembolism among patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis in South Korea: A nationwide population-based study. Joint Bone Spine 2023; 90:105498. [PMID: 36423779 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbspin.2022.105498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the incidence and risk of cerebro-cardiovascular comorbidities (stroke, acute myocardial infarction, venous thromboembolism, and pulmonary embolism) in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis using nationwide Korean population-based medical claims data. METHODS We identified 1905 patients with newly diagnosed anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis during 2009-2019. Incidence rates and hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the risk of cerebro-cardiovascular comorbidities in these patients and compared to age- and sex-matched controls (1:10) using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Most patients had microscopic polyangiitis (42.5%), followed by granulomatosis with polyangiitis (29.1%) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (28.4%). The annual incidence rate of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis in 2019 was 0.55 per 100,000 person-years. Cerebro-cardiovascular comorbidities occurred in 12.6%. Stroke was most common (64.6%), followed by venous thromboembolism (34.6%), pulmonary embolism (18.3%), and acute myocardial infarction (5.4%). Korean patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis were at a significantly (2.3 times) higher overall risk for cerebro-cardiovascular comorbidities than the general population (adjusted hazard ratios, 4.5, 3.1, and 2.0 times higher for pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism, and stroke, respectively). These findings were similar for patients with each subtype of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. CONCLUSIONS This is the first nationwide population-based study to demonstrate a significant risk of cerebro-cardiovascular comorbidities as complications of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis in Korean patients. Knowing these risks may enable personalized patient care and improve overall survival.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory disorders of the intestines. The underlying inflammation activates the coagulation cascade leading to an increased risk of developing arterial and venous thromboembolic events such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Patients with IBD are at a 2–3-fold increased risk of developing thromboembolism. This risk increases in patients with active IBD disease, flare-ups, surgery, steroid treatment, and hospitalization. These complications are associated with significant morbidity and mortality making them important in clinical practice. Clinicians should consider the increased risk of thromboembolic events in patients with IBD and manage them with appropriate prophylaxis based on the risk. In this review, we discuss the literature associated with the pathophysiology of thromboembolism in patients with IBD, summarize the studies describing the various thromboembolic events, and the management of thromboembolism in patients with IBD.

Abstract
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare and devastating complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Early diagnosis and prompt treatment could improve prognosis. The aim of our study was to investigate the clinical data and predictive factors of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with a diagnosis of CVST. All IBD patient data were collected from July 2013 and September 2020. Clinical data, predictive factors and prognosis were compared between IBD patients with CVST and the IBD control group. The incidence of CVST in our study was 0.48%. The mean age of IBD patients with CVST was 34.9 years. The average duration of IBD was 4 years when cerebrovascular events occurred. The clinical presentation of CVST included headache (73.1%), vomiting (30.8%), limb dysmetria (26.9%), speech impairment (11.5%), blurred vision (7.7%), epileptic seizures (7.7%) and drowsiness (3.8%). The most common location for CVST was the transverse sinus (61.5%) followed by the superior sagittal sinus (30.8%). Anaemia, low albumin and elevated D-dimer were independent predictors of CVST in patients with IBD. Anticoagulation therapy was effective. The prognosis of IBD patients with CVST was worse than that of IBD patients without CVST. Early identification of the risk and clinical features of CVST in IBD patients is important. Prompt antithrombotic therapy is a safe and effective treatment.
