Characterizing Regionalization of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Hospitalizations and Operations in Washington State

ConclusionsIn Washington State, most IBD hospitalizations were emergent, which were decentralized and typically non-operative. By contrast, most elective admissions involved surgery and were centralized at a few high-volume centers. Further understanding the drivers behind IBD hospitalizations may help optimize emergent medical and elective surgical care at a state level.
