Abstract

AbstractBackgroundThe burden of mental health conditions in children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease remains unclear. We assessed this using a primary care database in the United Kingdom.MethodsA retrospective, observational study compared children and young adults with incident inflammatory bowel disease 5 to 25 years of age (2010-2020) against population control subjects. Outcomes comprised incident depression, anxiety disorder, eating disorders, body image disorders, attention-deficit disorders, behavioral disorders, adjustment disorders, acute stress disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, self-harm, parasuicide (including suicide), and sleep disturbance. The any mental health condition category comprised any of these conditions.ResultsA total of 3898 young patients with incident inflammatory bowel disease were matched to 15 571 control subjects. Inflammatory bowel disease patients were significantly more likely to develop new posttraumatic stress disorder (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-4.94), eating disorders (aHR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.05-3.26), self-harm (aHR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.00-2.21), sleep disturbance (aHR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.15-1.71), depression (aHR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.16- 1.56), anxiety (aHR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.06-1.48), and any mental health condition (aHR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.12-1.46). Male inflammatory bowel disease patients aged 12 to 17 years, and patients with Crohn’s disease appear to have the highest risk for developing new mental health conditions.ConclusionsYoung inflammatory bowel disease patients have a significantly higher incidence and risk of new mental health conditions. Mental health remains a critically overlooked aspect of inflammatory bowel disease patient management. Further research into identifying optimal monitoring tools and support for these patients is required to improve patient care. The study protocol was specified and registered a priori.ClinicalTrials.gov study identifier: NCT05206734.
