Comparison of frequency of inflammatory bowel disease and noninfectious gastroenteritis among statin users versus nonusers.
The objective of this study was to examine the association of statin use on the prevalence of IBD and noninfectious gastroenteritis (NI-GE) in a cohort of patients who were followed longitudinally in a military health care system, where patients had similar access and availability of health care. It found that statin use was not associated with either an increased or decreased risk of IBD or NI-GE diagnoses.
