Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be at risk of developing portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) with worse outcomes. This study aims to explore the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST among patients with IBD.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. All the eligible studies were divided according to the history of colorectal surgery. Only the prevalence of PVST in patients with IBD was pooled if the history of colorectal surgery was unclear. The incidence of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery was pooled if the history of colorectal surgery was clear. Prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST were pooled by only a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed in patients undergoing imaging examinations. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were calculated.
Results: A total of 36 studies with 143,659 patients with IBD were included. Among the studies where the history of colorectal surgery was unclear, the prevalence of PVST was 0.99, 1.45, and 0.40% in ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and unclassified IBD, respectively. Among the studies where all the patients underwent colorectal surgery, the incidence of PVST was 6.95, 2.55, and 3.95% in UC, CD, and unclassified IBD after colorectal surgery, respectively. Both the prevalence and incidence of PVST became higher in patients with IBD undergoing imaging examinations. Preoperative corticosteroids therapy (OR = 3.112, 95% CI: 1.017–9.525; p = 0.047) and urgent surgery (OR = 1.799, 95% CI: 1.079–2.998; p = 0.024) are significant risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery. The mortality of patients with IBD with PVST after colorectal surgery was 4.31% (34/789).
Conclusion: PVST is not rare, but potentially lethal in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery. More severe IBD, indicated by preoperative corticosteroids and urgent surgery, is associated with a higher risk of PVST after colorectal surgery. Therefore, screening for PVST by imaging examinations and antithrombotic prophylaxis in high-risk patients should be actively considered.

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, mainly consisting of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). In recent years, there has been a rising trend of IBD worldwide, which further increases the economic burden of illness among individual patients, their families, and healthcare systems (1) as well as morbidity and mortality (2). Patients with IBD can experience disease progression from inflammation to stricture or penetration/fistulization (3). Its related complications can also result in poor quality of life (4) and negative emotional impact (5).
Recently, it has been observed that IBD has significant secondary effects on the coagulation cascade, including initiation and propagation of coagulation activation, inhibition of fibrinolysis, and downregulation of physiological anticoagulation pathways (6), which lead to coagulation abnormalities, such as increased levels of coagulation factors V and VIII, platelet count, and fibrin, and a decreased level of antithrombin (7). Patients with IBD have a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) (8), further increasing their morbidity and mortality (9).
Portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) mainly refers to the development of thrombosis within the portal vein, mesenteric vein, and splenic vein (10). Its clinical manifestations can include complications of acute intestinal ischemia (11), hematemesis or melena from esophagogastric variceal bleeding (12), even multiple organ dysfunction, and death (13). Intraperitoneal inflammation, including pancreatitis (14) and IBD (15), is one of the most common local risk factors for PVST.
It is important for physicians to understand the epidemiology and risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD since such information is potentially helpful to assess and manage this complication in high-risk patients. In this study, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD.
Methods
This meta-analysis was performed following the Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) (16) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) (17) statements. The MOOSE and the PRISMA checklists are shown in Supplementary Materials.
Registration
This study was registered in International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) with a registration number of CRD42020159579.
Search Strategy
All articles concerning PVST in patients with IBD were searched through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Search terms were as follows: (“portal” or “splenic” or “mesenteric” or “portomesenteric” or “portosplenomesenteric”) and (“vein” or “venous” or “vascular”) and (“thrombosis” or “thrombi” or “thrombus” or “thrombotic” or “thrombosed” or “thromboembolism” or “thromboembolic” or “embolism” or “emboli” or “embolization” or “occluded” or “occlusion” or “occlusive” or “obstructed” or “obstructive” or “obstruction”) and (“inflammatory bowel disease” or “IBD” or “Crohn's disease” or “CD” or “ulcerative colitis” or “UC” or “colitis”). The last retrieval was performed on November 3, 2021.
Selection Criteria
Eligible studies were included according to the following criteria: (1) patients should be diagnosed with IBD; (2) the number of PVST in patients with IBD can be extracted to calculate the prevalence; (3) the number of PVST after a diagnosis of IBD or colorectal surgery for IBD can be extracted to calculate the incidence; and (4) risk factors associated with the development of PVST in patients with IBD can be extracted. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) duplicate article; (2) comment, note, or letter; (3) guideline, consensus, or report; (4) review or meta-analysis; (5) case report; (6) experimental or animal study; (7) full text could not be obtained; (8) patients with IBD were not included; (9) PVST was not evaluated in patients with IBD; (10) relevant data could not be extracted; and (11) overlapping data.
Definitions
PVST was defined as thrombus occurring in the portal venous system including portal, mesenteric, and splenic vein. The cohort study was defined as the occurrence of PVST events in patients with IBD during follow-up. Cross-sectional study was defined as the presence of PVST events in patients with IBD at a fixed time point. Prevalence of PVST referred to all the PVST conditions in patients with IBD by collecting the data from cohort and cross-sectional studies. Incidence of PVST referred to new onset of PVST events after a diagnosis of IBD or colorectal surgery for IBD by collecting the data from cohort studies.
Data Extraction
We extracted the following information: first author, publication year, publication type, region, study design, enrollment period, source of case, severity of IBD, history of colorectal surgery, use of antithrombotic drugs, number of patients with IBD, number of patients with IBD who underwent imaging examination, and number of patients with IBD who developed PVST. The characteristics of patients with PVST were further summarized including gender, location of PVST, main clinical presentation, interval from colorectal surgery to diagnosis of PVST, hematological abnormality, treatment selection, and outcome.
Study Quality
The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of cohort studies, in which 0–3, 4–6, and 7–9 stars represent low, moderate, and high quality, respectively (18). An 11-item checklist recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) was used to evaluate the quality of cross-sectional studies, in which a score of 0–3, 4–7, and 8–11 represent low, moderate, and high quality, respectively (19).
Statistical Analysis
All the meta-analyses were conducted by the R software version 3.6.2 (R Core Team, R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) and Stata/SE software version 12.0 for Windows (Stata Corporation LP, College Station, Texas, USA). We pooled the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD by a random-effects model. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI was calculated, if any. I2 and p-value were calculated by inconsistency test to assess the heterogeneity among studies. I2 > 50% and/or p < 0.1 were considered to have a statistically significant heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated by Egger's test. p < 0.1 was considered as a statistically significant publication bias. Subgroup analyses were performed in terms of region (Europe vs. North America vs. Asia vs. South America vs. Africa), study design (population-based cohort vs. hospital-based cohort vs. cross-sectional study), severity of IBD (exacerbated or refractory), use of antithrombotic drugs, whether the indications of imaging examinations for PVST were mentioned (yes vs. unclear), patients with IBD who underwent imaging examinations, and study quality (high vs. moderate). Meta-regression analyses were performed by the abovementioned covariates to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analyses were also performed by sequentially excluding one study in one turn.

Studies Where the Information With Respect to Colorectal Surgery Was Unclear
Characteristics of Included Studies
A total of 18 studies where the information with respect to colorectal surgery was unclear can be used to explore the prevalence of PVST in patients with IBD (Table 1) (20–37).
Table 1. Characteristics of studies where the information with respect to colorectal surgery was unclear.
Characteristics of Patients With PVST
Overall, 244 of 33,947 patients with IBD had PVST (20–37). Among them, PVST was located at the main portal vein and mesenteric vein and its branches in 106 (43.44%) and 147 (60.25%) patients, respectively; bowel stenosis, perianal fistula, internal fistula, and perianal abscess were observed in 24 (9.84%), ten (4.10%), seven (2.87%), and seven (2.87%) patients, respectively, and three (1.23%) patients died during follow-up (Supplementary Table 3).
Ulcerative Colitis
A total of three studies evaluated patients with UC (21, 36, 37). The pooled prevalence of PVST in patients with UC was 0.99% (Table 2). One study reported a detailed number of patients who underwent imaging examinations for PVST (37), with a prevalence of 20.51%. Meta-regression and sensitivity analyses were not performed due to a small number of included studies.
Table 2. Prevalence of PVST in patients with IBD in whom the information with respect to colorectal surgery was unclear.
Crohn's Disease
A total of six studies evaluated patients with CD (24, 28, 32, 34, 36, 37). The pooled prevalence of PVST in patients with CD was 1.45% (Table 2). Three studies reported a detailed number of patients who underwent imaging examinations for PVST (24, 34, 37), with a pooled prevalence of 6.23%. Meta-regression (Supplementary Table 4) and sensitivity analyses (Supplementary Table 5) did not identify any source of heterogeneity.
Unclassified IBD
A total of 11 studies evaluated patients with unclassified IBD (20, 22, 23, 25–27, 29–31, 33, 35). The pooled prevalence of PVST in patients with unclassified IBD was 0.40% (Table 2). One study reported a detailed number of patients who underwent imaging examinations for PVST (20), with a prevalence of 16.30%. Meta-regression analyses indicated that the severity of IBD (p < 0.001) and whether the detailed number of patients undergoing imaging examinations was reported (p < 0.001) might be potential sources of heterogeneity (Supplementary Table 4). Sensitivity analyses found that the heterogeneity became non-significant after excluding the study by Ashamalla et al. (20) (I2 = 21.80%; p = 0.2423; Supplementary Table 5).
Risk Factors of PVST in Patients With IBD
A total of two studies demonstrated that disease duration and colorectal surgery might be significant risk factors of PVST (22), but not age, sex, body mass index (BMI), IBD location, corticosteroids therapy, smoking, or family history of IBD (37).
Studies Where the Information With Respect to Colorectal Surgery Was Clear
Characteristics of Included Studies
A total of 18 studies where the information with respect to colorectal surgery was clear were used to explore the incidence of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery (Table 3) (38–55).
Table 3. Characteristics of studies where all the included patients underwent colorectal surgery.
Characteristics of Patients With PVST
Overall, 789 of 109,712 patients with IBD developed PVST after colorectal surgery (38–55). Among them, PVST was located at the main portal vein and mesenteric vein and its branches in 20 (2.53%) and 38 (4.82%) patients, respectively; abdominal pain, prolonged ileus, wound infection, and dehydration/sodium depletion was observed in 46 (5.83%), 22 (2.79%), 11 (1.39%), and eight (1.01%) patients, respectively. The interval from surgery to diagnosis of PVST was within 30 days and over 30 days in 45 (5.70%) and two (0.25%) patients, respectively; and 34 (4.31%) patients died during follow-up (Supplementary Table 6).
Ulcerative Colitis After Colorectal Surgery
A total of eight studies evaluated patients with UC (38, 39, 41, 43, 45, 51–53). The pooled incidence of PVST in patients with UC after colorectal surgery was 6.95% (Table 4). Three studies reported on the number of patients who underwent imaging examinations for PVST (39, 43, 45) in detail, with a pooled incidence of 38.33%. Meta-regression analyses indicated that whether the detailed number of patients undergoing imaging examinations was reported (p = 0.043) might be a potential source of heterogeneity (Supplementary Table 7). Sensitivity analyses did not identify any source of heterogeneity (Supplementary Table 8).
Table 4. Incidence of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery.
Crohn's Disease After Colorectal Surgery
A total of two studies evaluated patients with CD (38, 51). The pooled incidence of PVST in patients with CD after colorectal surgery was 2.55% (Table 4). Neither study reported on the number of patients who underwent imaging examinations for PVST in detail. Subgroup, meta-regression, and sensitivity analyses were not performed due to a small number of included studies.
Unclassified IBD After Colorectal Surgery
A total of ten studies evaluated patients with unclassified IBD (40, 42, 44, 46–50, 54, 55). The pooled incidence of PVST in patients with unclassified IBD after colorectal surgery was 3.95% (Table 4). Two studies reported the detailed number of patients who underwent imaging examinations for PVST (42, 44), with a pooled incidence of 17.17%. Meta-regression analyses indicated that use of antithrombotic drugs (p = 0.008), whether the indications of imaging examinations for PVST were mentioned (p = 0.007), and whether the detailed number of patients undergoing imaging examinations was reported (p = 0.010) might be potential sources of heterogeneity (Supplementary Table 7). Sensitivity analyses found that the heterogeneity became nonsignificant after excluding the study by Gu et al. (44) (I2 = 0%; p = 0.7378) or Murphy et al. (49) (I2 = 28.10%; p = 0.1946) (Supplementary Table 8).
Comparison of Incidence of PVST After Colorectal Surgery for IBD and Non-IBD Diseases
A total of two studies included patients who underwent colorectal surgery for IBD, cancer, diverticulitis, and polyps (38, 51). Meta-analyses demonstrated that the incidence of PVST after colorectal surgery was significantly higher in patients with UC than patients with non-IBD (OR, 4.41; 95% CI, 2.35–8.29; p < 0.01), but the incidence of PVST after colorectal surgery was not significantly different between patients with CD and non-IBD (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 0.25–11.73; p = 0.59).
Risk Factors of PVST in Patients With IBD After Colorectal Surgery
A total of six studies demonstrated that age (44), BMI (49), corticosteroids therapy (44), preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) (45), preoperative albumin (44), surgical approach (49), type of surgery (44), and urgent reoperation (45) were significant risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery on the univariate analysis (Supplementary Table 9). Two studies demonstrated that corticosteroid therapy (44), preoperative CRP (45), and type of surgery (44) were significant risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery on the multivariate analysis (Supplementary Table 10). Meta-analyses found that corticosteroid therapy (38, 39, 44, 45) and urgent surgery (44, 45) were significantly associated with PVST in patients with IBD after colorectal surgery, but not male gender (37, 44, 45), left-sided colitis (44, 45), extensive colitis (44, 45), severe colitis (38, 44), immunomodulators therapy (38, 44, 45), biologics therapy (38, 44, 45), history of thromboembolic disease (44, 45), or smoking (37, 44, 45) (Figure 2).

Discussion
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review with a meta-analysis exploring the epidemiology of PVST in patients with IBD and evaluating its risk factors. Our major findings are as follows: first, among the patients with IBD in whom the history of colorectal surgery was unclear, the prevalence of PVST was 0.99, 1.45, and 0.40% in UC, CD, and unclassified IBD, respectively. Notably, the prevalence of PVST became higher in patients with IBD who underwent imaging examinations. Second, among the patients with IBD who underwent colorectal surgery, the incidence of PVST was 6.95, 2.55, and 3.95% in UC, CD, and unclassified IBD, respectively. Notably, the incidence became higher in patients with IBD who underwent imaging examinations after colorectal surgery. Third, the use of preoperative corticosteroids and urgent surgery are significant risk factors of PVST in patients with IBD who underwent colorectal surgery.
IBD is associated with a hypercoagulable state, which enhances the risk of thrombosis. Indeed, 1.01 to 2.14% of patients with IBD have VTE (56, 57). Several major mechanisms for explaining the association between PVST and IBD are as follows (Supplementary Figure 1). First, ulceration and loss of integrity of the normal mucosal barrier in the bowel may lead to microbial invasion or translocation into the portal venous system, leading to pylephlebitis and increasing the risk of PVST (7). Second, the deficiency of anticoagulants, such as protein S, is related to IBD (58). Protein S deficiency is associated with a high risk of VTE (59) and PVST (60). Third, fibrinogen, which may contribute to the development of PVST (61), is increased in active IBD (62). Fourth, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is released from storage sites in vascular endothelial cells as a result of inflammation in patients with IBD (6). An increase in t-PA level is counteracted by a delayed, but sustained increase in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (63), thereby decreasing fibrinolysis (64). Fifth, homocysteine level is significantly higher in patients with IBD than healthy controls (65). Hyperhomocysteinemia can cause hypercoagulability, by increasing tissue factor and factor V levels, reducing t-PA level, and deactivating protein C (66). Sixth, increased platelet count (67) and decreased mean platelet volume (68) in patients with IBD could increase the thrombotic potential risk. Seventh, the initiation and progression of colitis are mainly caused by neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which could induce platelet activation to promote thrombotic tendency (69). Studies concerning NETs in the pathogenesis of PVST are scarce, but evidence on the critical role of NETs in thrombosis is comprehensive (70). NETs are released together with peptidylarginine deiminase type IV into the extracellular milieu, leading to thrombus formation in mesenteric venules in mice (71).
Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play an important role in the diagnosis and assessment of non-malignant PVST (72, 73). However, they are not routinely performed in patients with IBD, which potentially underestimates the actual epidemiology of PVST. This study suggested that the prevalence of PVST and incidence of PVST after colorectal surgery would be increased in patients who underwent imaging examinations. Collectively, CT or MRI may be considered in patients with IBD at a high risk of developing PVST.
Corticosteroids are a major treatment option for IBD (74), but they potentiate the risk of VTE in patients with IBD regardless of colorectal surgery (75). The reasons for this association may include the following: first, corticosteroids could enhance the activity of the PAI-1 gene in cell cultures through a corticosteroid-responsive element with enhancer-like properties (76). Activation of the PAI-1 gene could increase the PAI-1 level, thereby reducing the t-PA level and impairing the fibrinolytic activity (76). Therefore, corticosteroid-induced alterations in fibrinolysis may contribute to a hypercoagulable state. Second, corticosteroids use may be a surrogate marker for more severe disease status. Usually, mild cases can be treated with derivatives of 5-aminosalicylic acid, but severe cases achieve disease remission by corticosteroids (56). Patients with aggressive disease often suffer from abdominal pain or frequent diarrheal stool per day and need bed rest and relative immobility, which lead to a stronger prothrombotic state (77). Thus, some investigators speculate that an increased risk of VTE may be due to the disease activity, rather than corticosteroid use itself. Contrarily, others consider that patients with IBD treated with corticosteroids are more likely to experience a disease flare, thereby increasing the risk of VTE (78). Higgins et al. showed that corticosteroids themselves increased VTE risk regardless of inflammatory conditions (79). Indeed, there is also an increased risk of VTE in general patients and healthy volunteers receiving corticosteroids in the absence of inflammation (80, 81). In our meta-analysis, the preoperative use of corticosteroids seems to be associated with PVST after colorectal surgery (OR = 3.112; p = 0.047). Because the use of corticosteroids is often indispensable in patients with IBD (82), anticoagulation should be considered for the prophylaxis of VTE during the period of corticosteroid use (83). However, based on our meta-analysis, the pooled incidence of PVST in patients with UC after colorectal surgery is not lower in patients receiving antithrombotic drugs. Of course, it should be acknowledged that a direct comparison between anticoagulation vs. no anticoagulation is lacking in such patients. Therefore, further studies should explore the role of anticoagulation for the prevention of PVST in patients with IBD receiving corticosteroids.
A high risk of postoperative thromboembolic complications has been observed in patients with IBD undergoing colorectal surgery (84). Colorectal surgery has been identified as a risk factor of VTE (85). However, it is still unclear whether an increased risk of VTE among patients with IBD is specifically attributed to colectomy, disease severity necessitating colectomy, or their combination. Our meta-analysis also demonstrated that the pooled incidence of PVST was obviously higher in patients with UC who underwent colorectal surgery than those in whom the information regarding colorectal surgery was unclear (6.95 vs. 0.99%), suggesting a higher probability of PVST after colorectal surgery. Thrombosis in the portal venous system is associated with a borderline intrinsically hypercoagulable environment, which may result from direct surgical trauma to the colic veins (42). Additionally, the incidence of PVST after colorectal surgery is higher in patients with UC than patients with CD. This may be explained by the fact that patients with UC undergoing colorectal surgery have a larger inflammatory burden, but patients with CD undergo surgery mainly due to stenotic or fistulizing complications (86). Patients with UC undergoing urgent surgery have an over 5-fold increased odds of VTE, despite postoperative heparin (87). This is because patients usually have a flare of IBD at the time of urgent surgery, leading to a prominent risk of VTE (56). Our meta-analysis also demonstrated that urgent surgery might be a risk factor of PVST. Taken together, thromboprophylaxis in surgical patients with IBD should be adopted according to the specific guidelines (88).
This study has some other limitations. First, the heterogeneity among studies was significant in most meta-analyses. It might be from the enrollment period and follow-up duration. However, the source of heterogeneity cannot be identified by subgroup and meta-regression analyses. Second, the specific type of IBD, severity of IBD, number of patients with IBD who underwent imaging examinations, and history of colorectal surgery for IBD were unclear in some studies. Third, there is a high incidence of PVST after colorectal surgery (89). However, among the included studies, no relevant data can be extracted to compare the proportion of PVST between patients with IBD who underwent and did not undergo colorectal surgery.
In conclusion, there is an increased risk of PVST in patients with IBD. Corticosteroids therapy and urgent colorectal surgery both suggest that more severe IBD seems to increase the risk of PVST in patients with IBD. Imaging examinations should be recommended to improve the detection rate of PVST, especially in high-risk patients. Further large-scale prospective1 studies are necessary to clarify the prediction and prevention of PVST in patients with IBD in the future.
