“…In the 1980s, the standar dised incidence of UC, including proctitis, was 2.4 cases/105/year, less that half that seen in Europeans (standardised incidence 9.4 cases/105/year). The combined standardised incidence in Tower Hamlets in Europeans is similar to that stated in other British reports [1][2][3][4] (table 4). The disease distribution was similar in Europeans and other groups.…”

To assess the incidence of ulcerative colitis and proctitis in a defined migrant population, a retrospective, epidemiological community study was performed in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets from 1972 to 1989. The population of 164,000 includes 28,000 Bangladeshis. Potential cases were identified from hospital departments of pathology and medical records. There were 107 cases of ulcerative colitis in Europeans and 5 in Bangladeshis. There were 74 and 2 cases of proctitis in these communities, respectively. The mean standardised incidence of ulcerative colitis in Bangladeshis (1.8 cases/10⁵/year) was marginally lower than in Europeans (6.2 cases/10⁵/year, Z= 0.7, n.s.). The mean standardised incidence of proctitis in Bangladeshis was 0.6 cases/10⁵/year and in Europeans 3.2 cases/10⁵/year (Z = 0.6 n.s.). Anatomical extent of colitis was similar in all ethnic communities, although complications were less likely in minority groups. These findings suggest that the incidence of ulcerative colitis and proctitis in Bangladeshis, in Britain, is amongst the lowest in the world.

“…Previous reports found that approximately 22% of patients become steroid dependent 13 . The incidence of short‐term cumulative proctocolectomy was found to be 8–34% for moderate to severe attacks of UC 22,23,29–31 . Compared to previous studies performed in Western countries, our results showed a slightly higher rate of steroid dependency and lower rate of proctocolectomy.…”

SUMMARY A review of all patients with ulcerative colitis in one health district between 1975-84 revealed an incidence and prevalence of 7.1 and 84/100000 population respectively. One hundred and ninety five new patients were diagnosed and 313 patients seen and followed up in the clinic for 1168 patient years. None of these patients died from colitis or a complication. On routine colonoscopy three cases had high grade dysplasia and two asymptomatic carcinomas (Duke's stage A and B). Eighty four patients were known to have ulcerative colitis, but were lost to follow up from the hospital clinic; the total time they were not under hospital surveillance was 315 patient years. At the end of the study these patients were contacted or clinical details obtained from their general practitioners. Five of these patients subsequently presented with symptomatic carcinomas (two Duke's B, one Duke's C and two with metastases
