Frequency of indeterminate colitis in children and adults with IBD — a metaanalysis

Abstract

IC has been detected in a substantial proportion of paediatric patients with IBD. IC is more frequently found in children compared to adults. Further studies are required to clarify whether IC represents an IBD phenotype associated with childhood disease onset or whether the high IC frequency is due to difficulties in establishing a UC or CD diagnosis.

Pediatric IBD-unclassified Is Less Common than Previously Reported; Results of an 8-Year Audit of the EUROKIDS Registry

“…18,19 Previous literature has reported a higher IBD-U rate in prospective compared with retrospective studies. 20 Our data suggest that several factors concerning both primary diagnostic evaluation and reevaluation over time account for the observed decline in IBD-U rate.…”

Some data on inflammatory bowel diseases in Hungary: analytical data on ulcerative colistis

“…Ezek a betegek lehetnek indeterminált colitisben szenvedő betegek, de feltehetően van kitöltési hiányosság-ból adódó adathiány. Az adatszolgáltatás pontatlansá-gából adódó eltéréseket is beszámítva az indeterminált colitises betegek aránya nagyjából megegyezik a nemzetközi irodalomban közölt 5-10%-os aránnyal [5,6]. Betegeink között több volt a nő mind CD-ben, mind UC-ben (z = 2,193, p = 0,028).…”

Very Early Onset IBD: How Very Different ‘on Average’?

“…Many advocate favouring the non-obligatory term of IBDU in the earlier age group, reported as such in 34% and even 71% of the very young. 8,9 Other phenotypic data were similar between the age groups, including the presence of extra-intestinal manifestations, upper gastrointestinal [UGI] involvement, disease extent, family history of IBD, and most importantly, progression to complicated disease. However, summary statistics on VEOIBD cohorts in general may be misleading and not represent the true clinical milieu of these patients.…”
