Abstract Introduction Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases are at increased risk for coronary artery disease. Aim We aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods A Retrospective cohort study of all adult (>18 years) patients who underwent PCI in a large [1000 bed] tertiary care centerfrom January 2002 to August 2020. Results A total of 12,951 patients underwent PCI during the study period and were included in the cohort. The population of chronic inflammatory diseases includes 247/12,951 [1.9%]; 70 with IBD and 173 with AIRD. The composite endpoint of mortality, ACS or CHF admission was more frequent in the inflammatory disease group (77.5% in AIRD group, 72.9% in the IBD group and 59.6% in the non-inflammatory group, p<0.001). The adjusted cox regression model found a statistically significant increased risk of the composite primary endpoints of around 40% for patients both with AIRD and IBD. The increased risk for ACS was 61% for AIRD patients and 37% for IBD patients. Patients with inflammatory diseases were found to have a significant increased risk CHF admission, while both IBD and AIED patients had a non-significant increased risk for mortality. Conclusion Patients with AIRD and IBD are at higher risk for cardiovascular events also in long term follow up once diagnosed with CAD and treated with PCI.
