Ethnicity Influences Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)-Associated Colon Cancer: A Cross-sectional Analysis of Dysplasia Prevalence and Risk Factors in Hispanics and Non-Hispanic Whites With IBD.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an emerging disease in Hispanics. In this study, we examine the prevalence of IBD-related colon dysplasia (IBD-dys) in Hispanics versus non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) and compare differences in established clinical and environmental risk factors.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis on adult Hispanics and NHWs with IBD who met criteria for colorectal cancer surveillance and were followed at our center between 2008 and 2018.
