Cohort study reveals elevated venous thromboembolism risk in pediatric-onset IBD, suggesting clinical awareness is vital.

This research aims to assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Utilized nationwide population-based registers from Denmark and Sweden.
Matched pediatric-onset IBD patients with reference individuals by age, sex, and place of residence.
Analyzed VTE occurrence using incidence rate differences and hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
Conducted meta-analyses to combine results from both countries.
Patients with IBD exhibit an incidence rate of VTE of 1.3 per 1,000 person-years, compared to 0.4 among reference individuals.
An increased hazard ratio of 3.3 indicates significantly higher VTE risk in those with IBD.
The hazard ratio of VTE within the first two years after IBD diagnosis was notably high at 18.8.
Disease activity and hospitalisation in Sweden were strongly linked to increased VTE risk.

Bröms et al. (2026) studied this question.
