Article Synopsis
- The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Northern France was studied over a 30-year period, revealing 22,879 new cases, with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) making up the majority.
- The incidence rates for both CD and UC increased significantly over the years, particularly in children and young adults, indicating a rising trend in these demographics.
- The findings suggest ongoing environmental factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of IBD, especially among women with UC, with projections indicating that nearly 0.6% of the population will have IBD by 2030.
Background: IBD diagnosed after the age of 60 is increasing. Data on post-operative complications in elderly onset IBD are scarce.
Aim: To describe the incidence of and factors associated with post-operative complications in elderly onset IBD, diagnosed after the age of 60.
Objectives: Few data are available to describe the changes in incidence of pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to describe changes in incidence and phenotypic presentation of pediatric-onset IBD in northern France during a 24-year period.
Methods: Pediatric-onset IBD (<17 years) was issued from a population-based IBD study in France between 1988 and 2011.
Background And Aims: Very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease [VEO-IBD] is a form of IBD that is distinct from that of children with an older onset. We compared changes over time in the incidence and phenotype at diagnosis between two groups according to age at IBD diagnosis: VEO-IBD diagnosed before the age of 6 years, and early-onset IBD [EO-IBD] diagnosed between 6 and 16 years of age.
Methods: Data were obtained from a cohort enrolled in a prospective French population-based registry from 1988 to 2011.
Article Synopsis
- Elderly onset Crohn's disease (CD) is more favorable when diagnosed after age 70, prompting a comparison between patients diagnosed at 60-69 years and those over 70 years old.
- The study analyzed 370 patients, finding that while clinical presentation was similar, older patients had a higher frequency of pure colonic disease and a lower proportion of males.
- No significant differences were noted in disease progression or treatment patterns between the two age groups, suggesting similar challenges regardless of the age at which CD was diagnosed.
