Relationship between venous thromboembolism and inflammatory bowel disease in Taiwan: a nationwide retrospective cohort study
Patients with IBD are at an increased risk of developing VTE, particularly DVT and PE. While our study found that anti-IBD treatments did not significantly alter this risk, proactive management of associated factors and close monitoring remains essential for preventing VTE in this population. Identifying and addressing specific associated factors should be prioritized in clinical practice to mitigate the heightened risk of VTE in IBD patients.
