Summary

This study examined infection rates in nearly 24,000 older adults (65+) with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who started treatment with ENTYVIO, TNF-alpha inhibitors, or ustekinumab. Using Medicare claims data from 2016 to 2025, researchers compared how many people had serious infections requiring hospitalization or non-serious infections. The goal was to understand which treatments might be safer for older patients.
