Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the increasing burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) among children and adolescents globally over the past 30 years, analyzing data from 204 countries using the Global Burden of Disease database.
- - Findings indicate a significant rise in the prevalence (0.15% annual increase) and incidence (22.78% increase from 1990 to 2019) of IBD, while disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and mortality have decreased (56.17% decrease in mortality).
- - A correlation was found where high-quality healthcare systems are associated with higher IBD prevalence and incidence rates but better health outcomes, as indicated by lower DALYs and mortality rates.
