Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between gallstone disease and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease.
Detailed description
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis , collectively known as inflammatory bowel diseases , have increased substantially over the past few decades affecting nearly 6.8 million individuals worldwide. The etiology of IBD remains obscure, possibly involving a complex interaction between the genetic, environmental or microbial factors and the immune responses. Gallstone disease is one of the most common and costly gastroenterological disorders, with a prevalence of 10-20% in Europe and America. Considering that gallstones and IBD also share specific risk factors, such as obesity, inappropriate diet and metabolic hormone levels, and have the pathophysiologic linkage, such as changes in gut microbiota composition and bile acid profile, the investigators propose that the occurrence of gallstones may predict the subsequence risk of IBD. However, investigations concerning the association is lacking.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The prevalence of gallstone disease among patients with or without IBD | 10 years | We assess the prevalence as the number of gallstone diseases divided by the number of IBD patients or non-IBD patients. Gallstone disease was diagnosed as presence of gallstones, cholecystectomy, choledocholithotomy and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP). |
| The odds ratio of the association between the presence of gallstone disease and risk of inflammatory bowel disease | 10 years | The odds ratio is a ratio of two sets of odds: the odds in case group (gallstone diseases with IBD divided by non-gallstone disease with IBD) versus the odds in control group (gallstone diseases without IBD divided by non-gallstone disease without IBD). Finally, we can calculate the odds ratio by dividing the ratio of the case group by the ratio of the control group. |
