The study supported the theory that intestinal environment could influence the function of central nervous system which was also called the gut–brain axis. Recently, a meta-analysis by Zhu et al2 suggested that the overall risk of PD in patients with IBD was significantly higher than controls (OR 1.41; 95% CI 1.19 to 1.66). However, only four studies were included in the meta-analysis.

To better understand this issue, we searched the PubMed and Web of Science for cohort...
