Cure8 research brief
People with both IBD and another immune-mediated disease (psoriatic disease) had more hospital admissions and higher inpatient costs over ten years in this population.
That suggests patients with overlapping conditions may need coordinated care and may be at higher risk of hospitalization and related healthcare expenses.
Adults with IBD or psoriatic disease, clinicians managing multisystem immune-mediated diseases, health services researchers, and health system planners interested in costs and care models.
The paper reports that people who have both psoriatic disease and IBD were admitted to hospital more often and accrued higher inpatient costs over a ten-year period than those with PsD alone, and generally higher costs than those with IBD alone.
The study used administrative ICD-9 codes from the provincial health database and reports group-level differences in admissions and costs, including cardiovascular- and mental-health–related hospitalizations. The findings point to higher healthcare use when two immune-mediated diseases coexist, but do not test specific treatments or care models.
Interpretation note: These results describe associations in administrative data and do not prove that one condition causes more admissions; they do not provide patient-level causal explanations or evaluate interventions.
The analysis is focused on hospital admissions and costs recorded in one Canadian province over 2009–2019, which may affect generalizability.
This is a retrospective administrative-database study using ICD-9 codes from one Canadian province (2009–2019). It reports group-level differences in admissions and costs but does not evaluate specific interventions or causation. Results may not generalize to other regions or time periods.
