Core Tip Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide, yet their long-term safety remains under debate. This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate a statistically significant association between PPI use and an increased risk of incident inflammatory bowel disease. However, substantial heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses suggest that this association may be influenced by study design, age differences, and protopathic bias, thereby limiting causal inference. Clinicians should interpret this association cautiously, and future prospective studies with rigorous bias control are needed to determine whether PPI use contributes to inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis.
