Studies have suggested that although IBD incidence is increasing globally, some western countries are experiencing a stabilization. GastroTwitter
The North Denmark region, which has a population of about 590,000, has a long-standing tradition of registering patients with IBD, the study authors write. From 1978-2002, all newly diagnosed cases were recorded in a local research database, and since 2014, the GASTROBIO database has been used as a clinical tool for patients.
Overall, the IBD incidence rate increased from 1978 to 2014 but then began to plateau. Specifically, there was a fourfold increase from 11.5 per 100,000 persons in 1978 to 51.3 per 100,000 persons in 2014. However, in 2020, the rate stabilized and was 27.5 per 100,000 persons. Overall IBD incidence followed a similar trajectory over time for men and women, peaking for both in 2014. The incidence of Crohn's disease over time was higher for women, whereas the incidence of ulcerative colitis was higher for men.
"We need to improve our understanding of IBD, both for healthcare planning, as IBD treatments and surgery are expensive to our healthcare systems, but indeed also for the quality of life of patients," Jess said."IBDs are just as common as type 1 diabetes, but IBD is surrounded by taboo, and there is an urgent need for further knowledge in this field.
