Abstract

We explored the association between IBS and the development of bipolar disorder, and the risk factors for bipolar disorders in patients with IBS. We identified patients who were newly diagnosed with IBS between 2000 and 2010 in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We also identified a comparison matched cohort without IBS. The occurrence of new-onset bipolar disorder was evaluated in both cohorts. The IBS cohort consisted of 30,796 patients and the comparison cohort consisted of 30,796 matched patients without IBS. The incidence of bipolar disorder (incidence rate ratio, 2.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.10-3.31, P < .001) was higher in the IBS patients than in the matched cohort. Multivariate matched regression models indicated that autoimmune diseases (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.07-2.17, P = .020), and asthma (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.08-1.95, P = .013) were independent risk factors for the development of bipolar disorder in the IBS patients. IBS may increase the risk of developing subsequent bipolar disorder. Additional prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma
