Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Following Vedolizumab or Natalizumab Initiation: A Descriptive Analysis

The goals of this analysis were to estimate rates of interstitial lung disease (ILD) among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and among patients with IBD who initiated vedolizumab or natalizumab in the Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD). Patients with evidence of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis were also examined as separate populations. The study period includes data from January 1, 2006 to April 30, 2023. We distributed this request to six Sentinel Data Partners on October 12, 2023.
