Background: High inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) rates have been reported in Australasia, but no state-wide studies have yet been performed.
Aim: This study estimates the 1-year incidence and point prevalence of IBD in the state of Tasmania, Australia. It also reports clinical outcomes after 12 months of diagnosis in an incident cohort.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common condition affecting around 10-20% of the population and associated with poorer psychological well-being and quality of life. The aim of the current study was to explore the efficacy of the Common Sense Model (CSM) using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) in an IBS cohort. One hundred and thirty-one IBS patients (29 males, 102 females, mean age 38 years) participating in the IBSclinic.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: There are limited prospective population-based data on the health care cost of IBD in the post-biologicals era. A prospective registry that included all incident cases of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] was established to study disease progress and health cost.
Aim: To prospectively assess health care costs in the first year of diagnosis among a well-characterised cohort of newly diagnosed IBD patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study found a high incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Australia, highlighting the need for a registry to analyze disease severity and complications over four years.
- A total of 252 patients were monitored, with the majority suffering from Crohn's disease (CD) showing significant hospitalization and treatment needs early in their disease course.
- The research identified risk factors for hospitalization and surgery, noting that certain disease characteristics, like ileal involvement and high C-reactive protein levels, are linked to more severe outcomes in both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC).
Purpose: The aims of this research were to explore associations among elective versus emergency surgery, type of ostomy (permanent vs temporary), illness perceptions and coping style, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life in persons with Crohn's disease. A further aim was to determine the extent of current and past use of psychological care and use of psychotropic medications.
Subjects And Setting: The sample comprised 31 persons (17 men and 14 women; mean age 45 years) with Crohn's disease and an ostomy from 2 large teaching hospitals in Melbourne, Australia.
Background: The impact of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) on the management of pancreatic cystic lesions remains unclear, and there are no published studies of the Australian experience in this area. The aim of this study was to review the experience of EUS for such lesions within our institution.
Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of data collected prospectively over a two-year period within the EUS database of St.
Background: To date, there have been no population-based epidemiological studies published from Australia concerning the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our hypothesis was that the incidence of IBD in Australia is at least as high as other industrialized countries, given similar genetic and environmental risk factors.
Methods: A prospective, population-based IBD incidence study was conducted between April 2007 and March 2008 in Greater Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
