Core Tip	Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have predisposing risk factors for arthroplasty of the hip and possibly the knee. IBD patients are also at higher risk for thromboembolic events, and longer and more complex hospitalizations for non-intestinal surgeries. Despite these considerations, this study of the National Inpatient Survey, the largest publicly available inpatient healthcare database in the United States, demonstrates the unexpected findings that patients with IBD have similar costs, lengths of stay and mortality when hospitalized for hip and knee arthroplasties. In addition, these surgeries are significantly less prevalent in patients with IBD than the general population.
