Changing epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising worldwide, but epidemiological data on children and adolescents are lacking. Understanding the global burden of IBD among children and adolescents is essential for global standardization of methodology and treatment options.

This is a cross-sectional study based on aggregated data.
