A 20-Year Temporal Change Analysis in Incidence, Presenting Phenotype and Mortality, in the Dutch IBDSL Cohort—Can Diagnostic Factors Explain the Increase in IBD Incidence?

Abstract: The IBD incidence in South Limburg increased significantly between 1991 and 2010. The shift towards milder disease at diagnosis in parallel with the improved diagnostics and ability to detect low-grade inflammation was suggestive of an important role of diagnostic factors in this increase. Environmental factors probably played a role as well. The mortality was low and, together with the increasing incidence, led to the high prevalence of IBD in South Limburg.

“…8 In the Dutch IBDSL cohort, the incidence of CD and UC rose from 5.84 and 11.67, respectively, per 100,000 in 1991 to 17.49 and 21.47 in 2010, corresponding to an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of +5.97% and + 3.79%. 9 Within Europe, the incidence of IBD is characterized by a north-south and an east-west gradient, where the incidence of CD was 6.3 per 100,000 in Northern Europe in comparison to only 3.6 per 100,000 in Southern Europe, and the incidence of UC in Northern and Southern Europe was 11.4 and 8.0 per 100,000, respectively. 10 Finally, during the last decade, a significant rise in IBD has been observed in Eastern Europe.…”

“…Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the digestive tract, with poorly understood aetiopathogenesis. In the last 20 years there has been a significant increase in the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [1,2]. During exacerbation, mainly steroids are used, which do not allow achievement of long-term remission, often causing dependence and significant side effects (SE) [3].…”
