The incidence of Crohn’s disease in Cardiff over the last 75 years: an update for 1996–2005

Abstract

SUMMARY BackgroundThe incidence of Crohn's disease rose rapidly in industralized countries over the past 50 years, but it is unclear whether the incidence is still rising or has reached a plateau.

Epidemiologic study on the current incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in Madrid

“…Regarding UC, we found an incidence rate of 7.53/100,000 inhabitants, which is similar to that reported in southern Europe, and lower than in northern areas (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). The truncate rate of CD was 9.12, higher than the incidence of those Spanish areas which participated in that study.…”

Crohn’s disease patients with chronic intestinal failure receiving long-term parenteral nutrition: a cross-national adult study

“…Age at diagnosis, localisation of the disease and smoking habits were similar to those reported in large epidemiological studies, suggesting that they do not increase the risk of development of CIF. 6,10,[32][33][34][35] In our population, the number of intestinal resections was higher in current smokers at diagnosis but the proportion of smokers at diagnosis (55%) was overall within the range 42-60% reported in several studies. 32,33,[35][36][37] In our population, occurrence of CIF was mainly related to a particular severe CD course.…”

Advances in epidemiology and diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases

“…These data refl ect a new trend of CD incidence rates to exceed UC rates, a fi nding reported from several centers. CD incidence data from Wales in the United Kingdom mirror those from Olmsted County (7/100,000) [5].…”
