Incidence, prevalence and clinical presentation of inflammatory bowel diseases in Northern France: a 30-year population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In industrialized countries, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) appears stabilized. This study examined the incidence and phenotype of IBD in Northern France over a 30-year period.

Methods

Including all IBD patients recorded in the EPIMAD population-based registry from 1988 to 2017 in Northern France, we described the incidence and clinical presentation of IBD according to age, sex and time.

Findings

A total of 22,879 incident IBD cases were documented (59% (n = 13,445) of Crohn's disease (CD), 38% (n = 8803) of ulcerative colitis (UC), 3% (n = 631) of IBD unclassified (IBDU)). Over the study period, incidence of IBD, CD and UC was 12.7, 7.2 and 5.1 per 10⁵ person-years, respectively. The incidence of CD increased from 5.1/10⁵
