Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The incidence of Crohn's disease (CD) is continuing to rise in several countries and in others it appears to have already levelled off after a period of increase. We updated our previous population-based study, by re-extraction of all information on patients diagnosed with CD between 1963 and 2010. Our aim was to assess temporal trends in incidence, prevalence and disease phenotype at diagnosis. METHODS Patients of all ages with a potential diagnosis of CD were identified retrospectively by evaluation of medical notes of all current and previous patients at the colitis clinic, Örebro University Hospital amended by computerised search in the inpatient, outpatient, primary care and histopathological records. Diagnosis was confirmed by subsequent evaluation of medical notes. Disease phenotype was defined according to the Montreal classification. RESULTS The incidence increased over time, especially among Crohn's disease, A1 and A3. SaTScan model revealed a statistically significant high incidence during 1991-2010 (p=0.0001). The median age at diagnosis increased from 28 (3-79) years to 37 (5-87) years (p=0.0002). The point prevalence increased from 21/10(5) (14-32) in 1965 to 267/10(5) (244-291) in 2010. Non-stricturing and non-penetrating disease at diagnosis increased from 12.5% in 1963-1965 to 82.3% in 2006-2010 (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION The incidence of CD increased over time, although it seemed to be plateauing during the most recent decades. A striking increase in non-stricturing, non-penetrating disease at diagnosis was observed, suggesting earlier diagnosis or phenotypic change. The observed point prevalence in 2010 is among the highest reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is impaired in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The aim was prospectively to assess and validate the pattern of HRQoL in an unselected, population-based inception cohort of IBD patients from Eastern and Western Europe. METHODS The EpiCom inception cohort consists of 1560 IBD patients from 31 European centres covering a background population of approximately 10.1 million. Patients answered the disease specific Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) and generic Short Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaire at diagnosis and after one year of follow-up. RESULTS In total, 1079 patients were included in this study. Crohn's disease (CD) patients mean SIBDQ scores improved from 45.3 to 55.3 in Eastern Europe and from 44.9 to 53.6 in Western Europe. SIBDQ scores for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients improved from 44.9 to 57.4 and from 48.8 to 55.7, respectively. UC patients needing surgery or biologicals had lower SIBDQ scores before and after compared to the rest, while biological therapy improved SIBDQ scores in CD. CD and UC patients in both regions improved all SF-12 scores. Only Eastern European UC patients achieved SF-12 summary scores equal to or above the normal population. CONCLUSION Medical and surgical treatment improved HRQoL during the first year of disease. The majority of IBD patients in both Eastern and Western Europe reported a positive perception of disease-specific but not generic HRQoL. Biological therapy improved HRQoL in CD patients, while UC patients in need of surgery or biological therapy experienced lower perceptions of HRQoL than the rest.
