It is unknown if similar associations exist for tramadol, a partial opioid agonist and serotonin and norephinephrine reuptake inhibitor. We sought to compare adverse outcomes associated with tramadol vs TOs in an IBD population.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This nationwide cohort study included adults with IBD diagnosed from 1995 to 2021 in Denmark with subsequent prescriptions for tramadol or TOs. For each analgesic, 2 populations were assessed: initial users (first prescription) and persistent users (first 3 consecutive prescriptions within 365 days). Outcomes included infection, bowel obstruction\/ileus, IBD surgery, and mortality within 90 days after the initial use index date (date of first prescription) and within 365 days after the persistent use index date (date of third prescription). Odds ratios adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, and IBD severity were calculated using multivariable logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We identified 37 377 initial users and 15 237 persistent users of tramadol or TOs. Initial users of tramadol had lower adjusted odds of infection (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.99), bowel obstruction\/ileus (aOR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.53-1.03), and mortality (aOR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.35-0.55), and a higher adjusted odds of IBD-related surgery (aOR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.60) vs initial users of TOs.
