BACKGROUND: No large, prospective study has investigated respiratory symptoms in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. We aimed to describe the prevalence of and factors associated with respiratory symptoms in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

METHODS: In an observational, prospective, cross-sectional study, we evaluated the frequency of respiratory symptoms using a validated self-reporting questionnaire from February 2019 to February 2021 during routine follow-up outpatient visits of patients with inflammatory bowel disease followed in the Gastroenterology Department of the Nancy University Hospital. In case of a positive questionnaire, patients were systematically offered a consultation with a pulmonologist in order to investigate a potential underlying respiratory disease.

RESULTS: There were 325 patients included, and 180 patients had a positive questionnaire (144 with Crohn's disease). Of the included patients, 165 (50.8%) presented with respiratory symptoms, with dyspnea being the most frequent symptom (102 patients). There were 102 patients (56.7%) who benefited from a consultation in the pulmonology department: 43 (42.2%) were diagnosed with a respiratory disease, mainly asthma (n = 13) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 10). Fourteen patients (13.7%) had obstructive sleep apnea. A body mass index increase, being a smoker or ex-smoker, and having articular extra-intestinal manifestations were independently associated with a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms.

CONCLUSIONS: Half of patients with inflammatory bowel disease reported respiratory symptoms in our study. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease should be systematically screened, as pulmonary disease is frequently present in this population, with specific attention being given to smokers or ex-smokers and patients with extra-articular intestinal manifestations.
