Crossing barriers: the burden of inflammatory bowel disease across Western Europe. Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2023; 16:17562848231218615. [PMID: 38144422 PMCID: PMC10748558 DOI: 10.1177/17562848231218615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
An estimated 2.5-3 million individuals (0.4%) in Europe are affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Whilst incidence rates for IBD are stabilising across Europe, the prevalence is rising and subsequently resulting in a significant cost to the healthcare system of an estimated 4.6-5.6 billion euros per year. Hospitalisation and surgical resection rates are generally on a downward trend, which is contrary to the rising cost of novel medication. This signifies a large part of healthcare cost and burden. Despite publicly funded healthcare systems in most European countries, there is still wide variation in how patients receive and/or pay for biologic medication. This review will provide an overview and discuss the different healthcare systems within Western Europe and the barriers that affect overall management of a changing IBD landscape, including differences to hospitalisation and surgical rates, access to medication and clinical trial participation and recruitment. This review will also discuss the importance of standardising IBD management to attain high-quality care for all patients with IBD.

Patient preferences in chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases potentially treated with biological drugs: discrete choice analysis using real-world data analysis. Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res 2023; 23:959-965. [PMID: 37395007 DOI: 10.1080/14737167.2023.2232109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) represent a high burden due to their chronicity, high prevalence, and associated comorbidities. Chronic patients' preferences must be considered in IMIDs treatment and follow-up. The objective of this study was to further understand patient's preferences in private settings. METHODS A literature review was performed to choose the most relevant criteria for patients. A D-efficient discrete choice experiment was designed to elicit preferences of adult patients with IMIDs and potential biological treatment prescription. Participants were collected from private practices (rheumatology, dermatology, and gastroenterology) from February to May 2022. Patients chose between option pairs, characterized by six health-care attributes, as well as monthly out-of-pocket drug price. Responses were analyzed through a conditional logit model. RESULTS Eighty-seven patients answered the questionnaire. The most frequent pathologies were Rheumatoid Arthritis (31%) and Psoriatic Arthritis (26%). The most relevant criteria were choosing the preferred physician (OR 2.25 [SD0.26]); reducing time until visit with specialist (OR 1.79 [SD0.20]), access through primary care (OR 1.60 [SD0.08]), and an increase in monthly out-of-pocket price from 100€ to 300€ (OR 0.55 [SD0.06]) and to 600€ (OR 0.08 [SD0.02]). CONCLUSIONS Chronic IMIDs patients showed a preference toward a faster, personalized service, even with a trade-off in terms of out-of-pocket price.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study describes the epidemiological, clinical, patient-reported and economic burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), in Spain. METHODS A systematic review was performed of observational studies reporting the epidemiological, clinical, patient-reported and economic burden of IBD in the Spanish population, from 2011 to 2021. Original articles and conference abstracts published in English or Spanish were eligible. RESULTS A total of 45 publications were included in the review. The incidence of IBD in adults ranged from 9.6 to 44.3 per 100,000 inhabitants (4.6 to 18.5 for CD and 3.4 to 26.5 for UC). The incidence increased between 1.5- and twofold from 2000 to 2016 (regionally). Up to 6.0% (CD) and 3.0% (UC) IBD-associated mortality was reported. Disease onset predominantly occurs between 30 and 40 years (more delayed for UC than CD). Most frequently reported gastrointestinal manifestations are rectal bleeding in UC and weight loss in CD. Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) have been described in up to 47.4% of patients with CD and 48.1% of patients with UC. Psychiatric comorbidities were frequently reported in both CD and UC (depression up to 20% and anxiety up to 11%). Reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to the general population was reported. Significant symptomatology was associated with high levels of anxiety, depression, stress and lower HRQoL. Main healthcare resources reported were emergency department visits (24.0%), hospitalization (14.7%), surgery (up to 11%) and use of biologics (up to 60%), especially in CD. Direct and indirect annual costs per patient with UC were €1754.1 and €399.3, respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with CD and UC present a high disease burden which negatively impacts their HRQoL, leading to elevated use of resources.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing worldwide. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence of IBD in Castilla y León describing clinical characteristics of the patients at diagnosis, the type of treatment received and their clinical course during the first year. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective, multicenter and population-based incidence cohort study. Patients aged >18 years diagnosed during 2017 with IBD (Crohn's disease [CD], ulcerative colitis [UC] and indeterminate colitis [IC]) were included from 8 hospitals in Castilla y León. Epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic variables were registered. The global incidence and disease incidence were calculated. RESULTS 290 patients were diagnosed with IBD (54.5% UC, 45.2% CD, and 0.3% IC), with a median follow-up of 9 months (range 8-11). The incidence rate of IBD in Castilla y Leon in 2017 was 16.6 cases per 10,000 inhabitants-year (9/105 UC cases and 7.5/105 CD cases), with a UC/CD ratio of 1.2:1. Use of systemic corticosteroids (47% vs 30%; P=.002), immunomodulatory therapy (81% vs 19%; P=.000), biological therapy (29% vs 8%; P=.000), and surgery (11% vs 2%; p=.000) were significatively higher among patients with CD comparing with those with UC. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of patients with UC in our population increases while the incidence of patients with CD remains stable. Patients with CD present a worse natural history of the disease (use of corticosteroids, immunomodulatory therapy, biological therapy and surgery) compared to patients with UC in the first year of follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) reported in Vigo in 2010 within the Epi-IBD study, which was the highest incidence reported so far in Spain. METHODS Epidemiological, prospective, population-based inception cohort study. All incident cases of IBD from 1st January to 31st December 2011 and living in the Vigo area at diagnosis were included. RESULTS 100 patients were diagnosed (62% men, median age 43.27 years): 49 ulcerative colitis (UC), 34 Crohn's disease (CD) and 17 IBD unclassified (IBDU). The incidence (per 100,000 inhabitants/year) was 17.56 (CD: 5.97; UC: 8.60; IBDU: 2.98), similar to that reported in 2010. The incidence in non-pediatric population was 19.66 (CD: 6.89, UC: 9.52; IBDU: 3.04). CD and UC phenotype was similar in 2010 and 2011. CONCLUSION This study supports the increase of incidence of EII in the Vigo area reported in 2010.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking constitutes one of the most important modifiable factors of osteoporosis, as well as contributes to an early death, tumors, and numerous chronic diseases. The group with an increased risk of a lower bone mineral density are patients suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases. In fact, tobacco smoke, which contains more than 7000 chemical compounds, affects bone mineral density (BMD) both directly and indirectly, as it has an impact on the RANK-RANKL-OPG pathway, intestinal microbiota composition, and calcium-phosphate balance. Constant cigarette use interferes with the production of protective mucus and inhibits the repair processes in the intestinal mucus. Nicotine as well as the other compounds of the cigarette smoke are important risk factors of the inflammatory bowel disease and osteoporosis. Additionally, cigarette smoking may decrease BMD in the IBD patients. Interestingly, it affects patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in different ways-on the one hand it protects against ulcerative colitis, whereas on the other it increases the risk of Crohn's disease development. Nevertheless, all patients should be encouraged to cease smoking in order to decrease the risk of developing other disorders.

Abstract
Background and Aim: There is paucity of data regarding the epidemiology of pediatric IBD in Asia compared to that of Western countries. We aimed to investigate the incidence and prevalence trends of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the Daegu-Kyungpook province of South Korea from 2017 to 2020. Methods: This study was a multicenter, retrospective study conducted in eight IBD referral centers located in the Daegu-Kyungpook province. Children and adolescents of ≤18 years who were initially diagnosed with IBD between 2017 and 2020 were included. The annual number of children and adolescents newly diagnosed with IBD and the annual resident population of children and adolescents ≤18 years of age in the Daegu-Kyungpook province were investigated to calculate the annual incidence and prevalence in the region. Results: A total 304 children and adolescents that had been diagnosed with IBD were included in this study. Among these patients, 71.4% had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD), and 28.6% with ulcerative colitis (UC). The population based annual incidences of IBD from 2017 to 2020 were each 7.24, 6.82, 10.27, and 13.33 per 100,000, respectively (P for trend <0.001), 4.48, 5.26, 7.39, and 9.8 per 100,000, respectively, for CD (P for trend <0.001), and 2.76, 1.56, 2.88, and 3.53 per 100,000, respectively, for UC (P for trend = 0.174). Conclusion: Pediatric IBD, especially CD has significantly increased recently in the Daegu-Kyungpook province. Epidemiology studies from other regions of Asia are required to better elucidate this trend of increase in Asia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is often one of the most devastating and debilitating chronic gastrointestinal disorders in children and adolescents. The main objectives here were to systematically review the incidence and prevalence of paediatric IBD across all 51 European states. METHODS We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis based on PubMed, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, searches of reference lists, grey literature and websites, covering the period from 1970 to 2018. RESULTS Incidence rates for both paediatric Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] were higher in northern Europe than in other European regions. There have been large increases in the incidence of both paediatric CD and UC over the last 50 years, which appear widespread across Europe. The largest increases for CD have been reported from Sweden, Wales, England, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Hungary, and for UC from the Czech Republic, Ireland, Sweden and Hungary. Incidence rates for paediatric CD have increased up to 9 or 10 per 100 000 population in parts of Europe, including Scandinavia, while rates for paediatric UC are often slightly lower than for CD. Prevalence reported for CD ranged from 8.2 per 100 000 to approximately 60 and, for UC, from 8.3 to approximately 30. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of paediatric IBD continues to increase throughout Europe. There is stronger evidence of a north-south than an east-west gradient in incidence across Europe. Further prospective studies are needed, preferably multinational and based on IBD registries, using standardized definitions, methodology and timescales.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) recording validation among girls in the Spanish Primary Care Database For Pharmacoepidemiological Research (BIFAP). METHODS In this observational study, girls aged 9 to 18 years registered in BIFAP between 2002 and 2016, were followed up until there was a recorded IBD diagnosis or a referral to specialist indicating IBD. Anonymized profiles were reviewed to retrieve diagnosis confirmation (a positive colonoscopy or biopsy, specialist, or physician's comments mentioning the IBD diagnosis) or discarding (negative procedure results, alternative diagnosis, or family history). "possible" IBD were profiles missing that evidence, or had suspected IBD. The prescriptions of intestinal anti-inflammatory agents, azatioprine, and mercaptopurine were collected. The prevalence of IBD was estimated after review. RESULTS Out of 480 634 girls, 323 had a first ever recorded IBD, of which, 37.8% (N = 122) were "confirmed" incident IBD diagnosis, 19.8% (N = 64) discarded and 38.7% (N = 125) "possible" IBD. Additionally, 12 IBD records (3.7%) referred to prevalent IBD. Prescriptions were recorded in 94.3% (confirmed), 63.2% (possible), 83.3% (prevalent), and 3.1% (discarded) IBD cases. Prevalence was 52.83 "confirmed" or 93.58/105 girls when "possible" IBD were added. CONCLUSIONS For a third of the girls, the first recorded IBD included evidence confirming the diagnosis while most of those with missing evidence had treatment indicated for IBD. For research focused in sensitivity, an algorithm including "possible" plus "confirmed" episodes is recommended, whereas only "confirmed" to guarantee higher predictive value. Prevalence suggests that IBD is not a rare disease among girls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a considerable burden to the patient and society. However, current data on IBD incidence and burden are limited because of the paucity of nationwide epidemiological studies, heterogeneous designs, and a low number of participating centers and sample size. The EpidemIBD study is a large-scale investigation to provide an accurate assessment of the incidence of IBD in Spain, as well as treatment patterns and outcomes. METHODS This multicenter, population-based incidence cohort study included patients aged >18 years with IBD (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or unclassified IBD) diagnosed during 2017 in 108 hospitals in Spain, covering 50% of the Spanish population. Each participating patient will attend 10 clinic visits during 5 years of follow up. Demographic data, IBD characteristics and family history, complications, treatments, surgeries, and hospital admissions will be recorded. RESULTS The EpidemIBD study is the first large-scale nationwide study to investigate the incidence of IBD in Spain. Enrollment is now completed and 3627 patients are currently being followed up. CONCLUSIONS The study has been designed to overcome many of the limitations of previous European studies into IBD incidence by prospectively recruiting a large number of patients from all regions of Spain. In addition to epidemiological information about the burden of IBD, the 5-year follow-up period will also provide information on treatment patterns, and the natural history and financial burden of IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few recent data on the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are available, especially in Southern Europe. AIM To evaluate the prevalence, incidence and mortality of IBD in Catalonia during the period 2011-2016. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data on the prevalence, incidence and mortality of IBD were obtained from the Catalan Health Surveillance System (CHSS). Crude incidence and prevalence rates were calculated for all the Catalan population. Trends in age-sex-adjusted rates were also estimated, and logistic regression was used to calculate the adjusted mortality odds ratio (OR). Data for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) were analyzed separately. RESULTS The prevalence per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016 was 353.9 for UC and 191.4 for CD. The total number of IBD patients rose from 29543 in 2011 to 40614 in 2016. IBD was associated with significantly elevated adjusted mortality ratios: 1.28 (95% CI: 1.6-1.4) for UC and 1.85 (95% CI: 1.62-2.12) for CD. CONCLUSIONS IBD prevalence is very high and is increasing rapidly in Catalonia. Both CD and UC are associated with significantly higher mortality rates. Key message Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis present a small but significant increase in mortality compared to non-inflammatory bowel disease. The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing rapidly in Catalonia. Data on prevalence and incidence suggest that the number of patients may double in approximately 10 years.

Abstract
AIM To perform a comprehensive review and provide an up-to-date synopsis of the incidence and trends of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS We systematically searched the MEDLINE (source PubMed), EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (period: 1985-2018) to identify studies reporting population-based data on the incidence of pediatric-onset (< 19 years at diagnosis) IBD in full manuscripts. Two authors carried out screening and data extraction. Choropleth interactive maps and temporal trends were used to illustrate the international differences and incidences of and changes in IBD and subtypes. RESULTS In total, one hundred forty studies reporting data from 38 countries were considered in this review. The highest annual pediatric incidences of IBD were 23/100000 person-years in Europe, 15.2/100000 in North America, and 11.4/100000 in Asia/the Middle East and Oceania. The highest annual incidences of Crohn's disease (CD) were 13.9/100000 in North America and 12.3/100000 in Europe. The highest annual incidences of ulcerative colitis (UC) were 15.0/100000 in Europe and 10.6/100000 in North America. The highest annual incidences of IBD-unclassified (IBD-U) were 3.6/100000 in Europe and 2.1/100000 in North America. In the time-trend analyses, 67% of CD, 46% of UC and 11% of IBD-U studies reported an increasing incidence (P < 0.05). The risk of IBD is increasing among first-generation of migrant populations. CONCLUSION Globally, the incidence of IBD varies greatly by geographical areas. The steadily increasing incidence of pediatric IBD over time indicates its emergence as a global disease, suggesting that studies should investigate the environmental risk factors among pediatric cohorts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Spain has been traditionally lower than in Northern European countries. Recent epidemiological studies have found that these differences are diminishing. This study estimates the incidence of IBD in Málaga (Spain), a city in Southern Spain and relates its results to those found in our neighboring countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a prospective study designed to collect new cases diagnosed during the period from 2007-2008 and follow up these patients. Incidence is expressed as number of patients per 100,000 population per year. The population distribution found in the European Collaborative Study was used to standardize incidence rates. RESULTS The gross incidence rate of IBD in Málaga is 9/105, the standardized incidence rate is 12.3/105 (9.7-15.6). CONCLUSIONS These data are similar to those found in our surroundings, although a higher incidence rate for Crohn's disease (CD) as compared to ulcerative colitis (UC) was found. The clinical characteristics and outcomes of our patients do not differ significantly from those described for other populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Epidemiologic studies on eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are scarce and patient responders to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy have usually been excluded. We aimed to evaluate population-based incidence rates, prevalence and trends in adult EoE over the past decade, including responders to PPI therapy. METHODS We conducted an analysis of a prospectively established case registry in the health area of Cáceres, located in midwestern Spain. From the first EoE case diagnosed in 2007, endoscopy and pathology reports up to December 2016 were manually reviewed. A baseline diagnosis of EoE was confirmed upon symptoms of esophageal dysfunction (dysphagia/food impaction) and esophageal eosinophilia ≥ 15 eos/HPF. All patients were re-evaluated on PPI therapy during follow-up. RESULTS A total of 137 patients were diagnosed with EoE during the study period, of whom 63 (46%) achieved clinicohistologic remission on PPI therapy. The prevalence of autoimmune disorders was low. Mean incidence rate was 8.09 new cases/100,000 inhabitants/year, increasing to 9.95 during the last lustrum and peaking in 2016 with 13.7. This trend coincided with late declining of esophageal biopsies rate. Overall prevalence in 2016 was 81.73 patients/100,000 inhabitants, with the highest prevalence in males between age 35 and 44 years (273 cases/100,000). No seasonal variation was observed in the diagnosis of EoE (53% during pollen season vs. 47%, p = 0.4). CONCLUSIONS In midwestern Spain, incidence (13.7 cases/100,000 inhabitants/year) and prevalence (81.73 patients/100,000 inhabitants) in 2016 have grown remarkably in just one decade, coming closer to those figures recently reported for Crohn's disease in Spain.

Abstract
Crohn's Disease (CD) in Spain lacks of a unified National Clinical Pathway and not even any early detection program and professional follow-up outpatient attention once it has been diagnosed. Little is known about the Spanish health professionals' views of the experiences of individuals living with Crohn's Disease nationwide and also about how the Spanish Health System faces this situation. A qualitative research method was conducted to explore this topic through in-depth interviews with eleven healthcare professionals, who represented different clinics treating people with CD from the province of Alicante (Spain). Three topics and seven sub-topics were derived from the analysis of the content emerging from the interviews. The three main topics were: the healthcare system as a hindrance for ongoing treatment of CD, the impact of the disease, support networks. The knowledge of CD gained by healthcare professionals, in the contexts studied here within, with regards to the psychosocial aspects and the experience of those living with the disease and their immediate circles, is poor, if not null on an academic level, becoming experiential on their incorporation into the professional field. Additionally, a priori, they lack the tools to address the doubts and concerns of patients from the moment of diagnosis through the ongoing care of the patient. Organizational hindrances, such as the lack of time and consensual guidelines for adequately monitoring CD patients in Alicante (Spain), further restrict the patient-professional relationship. Due to the consensus established by the National Agency regulating the contents of the Health Professions' Education and Training across the country, we are assuming that the phenomenon highlighted may be similar in other parts of Spain. Therefore, it can be said that healthcare professionals have a limited understanding of the impact of CD on the day-to-day life of those affected, not being considered a part of the CD patients' formal support network. Nonetheless, they are conscious of this limitation and advocate for multidisciplinary teams as the best means of attending to people living with CD. Our study outcomes may represent the first step onto identifying strategies and best practices for establishing an effective therapeutic relationship, as well as any hindering factors.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) represent a growing public health concern due to increasing incidence worldwide. The current notion on the pathogenesis of IBD is that genetically susceptible individuals develop intolerance to dysregulated gut microflora (dysbiosis) and chronic inflammation develops as a result of environmental triggers. Among the environmental factors associated with IBD, diet plays an important role in modulating the gut microbiome, influencing epigenetic changes, and, therefore, could be applied as a therapeutic tool to improve the disease course. Nevertheless, the current dietary recommendations for disease prevention and management are scarce and have weak evidence. This review summarises the current knowledge on the complex interactions between diet, microbiome and epigenetics in IBD. Whereas an overabundance of calories and some macronutrients increase gut inflammation, several micronutrients have the potential to modulate it. Immunonutrition has emerged as a new concept putting forward the importance of vitamins such as vitamins A, C, E, and D, folic acid, beta carotene and trace elements such as zinc, selenium, manganese and iron. However, when assessed in clinical trials, specific micronutrients exerted a limited benefit. Beyond nutrients, an anti-inflammatory dietary pattern as a complex intervention approach has become popular in recent years. Hence, exclusive enteral nutrition in paediatric Crohn’s disease is the only nutritional intervention currently recommended as a first-line therapy. Other nutritional interventions or specific diets including the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), the low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyol (FODMAP) diet and, most recently, the Mediterranean diet have shown strong anti-inflammatory properties and show promise for improving disease symptoms. More work is required to evaluate the role of individual food compounds and complex nutritional interventions with the potential to decrease inflammation as a means of prevention and management of IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the correlation between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated colorectal cancer (CRC) in IBD patients. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, EmBase, and Cochrane databases was performed. Five genetic models (allelic, dominant, recessive, heterozygous and homozygous models) were used to analyze the associations, and trial sequential analysis was used to analyze the robustness of the results. RESULTS We collected and analyzed the results of seven trials including a total of 2287 patients in our meta-analysis. A total of 8 SNPs were tested in IBD patients. For rs1800629 of TNF-α, the allelic model showed that polymorphism at this locus significantly increased the risk of IBD-associated CRC in IBD patients (OR 4.45, 95% CI 3.18-6.21, P < 0.001). The results also showed a significant association between rs1800629 and an IBD-associated CRC population (heterozygous model: OR 4.335, 95% CI 2.329-8.069, P < 0.001; homozygous model: OR 11.5, 95% CI 2.498-52.592, P = 0.002; dominant model: OR 4.986, 95% CI 2.754-9.026, P < 0.001; recessive model: OR 7.208, 95% CI 1.588-32.72, P = 0.01). Other studies have found that mutation of rs1143627 of IL1B (allelic model: OR 2.97; 95% CI 1.74-5.05, P < 0.001) and rs1050152 of OCTN1 (allelic model: OR 1.637, 95% CI 1.078-2.485, P = 0.021) increased the proportion of IBD-associated CRC in the population. Moreover, there were significant associations between IBD-associated CRC and ITLN rs2274910, gene desert rs1551398 and rs4871611, FCGR2A rs1801274, and S100-Z rs7712957 in the allelic model. CONCLUSION Associations between SNPs and the proportion of IBD-associated CRC in IBD patients were examined, and further investigation of additional SNPs and their association with the risk of morbidity is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In Western studies, one-third of patients with Crohn's disease have stricturing or penetrating disease at presentation and one-half will progress to complicated disease in 20 years. Asian studies indicate that the Asian disease phenotype may be different. Our aim was to study the disease behaviour in Indian patients with Crohn's disease. METHODS In this hospital-based study, we analysed [Montreal classification] disease phenotype, presence of perianal disease, need for intestinal surgery, and changes in the Montreal classification over time in Crohn's disease patients from our database. RESULTS In the 178 patients (median age 35, interquartile range [IQR] 21 years; 97 males) with Crohn's disease, the proportion of various features was as follows. More patients had ileo-colonic[L3: 43.8%] than ileal[L1: 27.5%] or colonic[L2: 28.7%] disease. Perianal disease was seen in 11.8% at baseline. Non-stricturing, non-fistulising disease[B1] was seen in 74.7%, 65.7%, 50%, and 44.4% at baseline, at 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively. Stricturing disease[B2] was seen in 21.4%, 21.9%, 28.9%, and 33.3%; penetrating disease[B3] in 3.9%, 11.4%, 21%, and 16.7%; and intestinal surgery was required in 10.7%, 20%, 34.2%, and 55.5%, respectively. KaplanMeier analysis showed no association between progression of disease and patient age or the location of the disease. CONCLUSIONS Gender distribution and predominant ileo-colonic location of disease were similar to earlier Asian reports on Crohn's disease. Perianal disease was less frequent than reported in Western and other Asian studies. One-fourth of Indian patients had aggressive disease at diagnosis, but the tendency to progress towards aggressive disease over time was less pronounced than in Western patients.
