“…Discrepancies between prevalence estimates may be due to differences in case definition criteria between studies. Besides, published CD and UC prevalence estimates for Germany are available only for the years from 1975 to 1986 [11][12][13][14][15]. These estimates are considerably lower than those reported in our study for 2010 (Table III).…”

“…A wide range of estimates varying by study period as well as by geographic region has been reported. For Germany, latest publications that are not restricted to actively treated disease are based on data of the 1980s and provide separate estimates for CD and UC [11][12][13][14][15]. Most investigations of temporal trends of IBD prevalence point to a worldwide increase [5][6][7]9,[16][17][18].…”

“…Some of the difference between the incidence rate found in our study and other Swedish studies could be explained by a 5% and 3% higher proportion of immigrants in Stockholm County compared with Örebro and Uppsala respectively. However, the total standardised incidence in Stockholm is similar to that found in northern Sweden,23 Copenhagen,7Germany,24 25 and France26 but lower than the incidence in Great Britain 48-10 …”

Aim-To evaluate the incidence of Crohn's disease in Stockholm County between 1955 and 1989. Methods-A cohort of 1936 patients with Crohn's disease was retrospectively assembled. Incidence rates and changes in disease distribution were assessed. Results-The mean increase in incidence was 15% (95% confidence intervals 12% to 18%) per five year period with a mean annual incidence rate at 4.6/10 5 during the last two decades. The mean incidence for the entire study period was similar for men and women. The mean age at diagnosis increased from 25 years in 1960-64 to 32 years in 1985-89, partly because of an increasing proportion of patients aged at least 60 years at diagnosis. The proportion of patients with colonic Crohn's disease at the time of diagnosis increased from 15% to 32% (17% diVerence; 95% confidence intervals 12% to 23%) whereas the proportion of patients with ileocaecal disease decreased from 58% to 41% (17% difference; 95% confidence intervals 10% to 24%) during the study period. Elderly patients had a higher proportion of small bowel disease and a lower proportion of ileocolonic disease compared with the younger patients. Conclusion-The incidence rate of Crohn's disease in Stockholm has stabilised at 4.6/10 5 and the proportion of elderly patients has increased during a 35 year period. Colonic Crohn's disease has increased in frequency with a reciprocal decrease in ileocaecal disease. (Gut 1997; 41: 480-486)

“…CD, however, is characterized by relapsing, transmural inflammations that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus [2]. There are around 320,000 prevalent IBD cases in Germany [3], the incidence of CD and UC amounts to about 6/100,000 cases a year each in both indications [4][5][6].…”
