Inflammatory bowel disease burden in the Middle East and North Africa Region: a comprehensive analysis of incidence, prevalence, and mortality from 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has changed rapidly in recent years. Objective data concerning the IBD burden in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is limited. We aimed to provide a systematic report on the IBD burden in the MENA region. Additionally, we aimed to study the age- and sex-specific trends in IBD incidence, prevalence and mortality rates from 1990-2019.

Methods

Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 Study Database, we investigated the changes in incidence, prevalence and mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), at a regional and country level between 1990 and 2019.

Results

In 2019, there were 282,534 cases (95% confidence interval [CI] 239,506-334,478) of IBD in the MENA region (50.5% ma
