Every May 29th the World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) celebrates World Digestive Health Day (WDHD) and initiates a worldwide public health campaign through its 110 national societies and 50,000 members. Each year focuses on a particular digestive disorder in order to increase general public awareness of prevention and therapy. 2010 is dedicated to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Upon this occasion a WGO IBD task force was compiled from leading international specialists and researchers. The task force also included members of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), International Organization for the Study of Inflammatory Diseases (IOIBD) and the European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO) of the United European Gastroenterology Federation (UEGF). The goal of the task force was to bring together IBD specialists from around the world to discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of IBD within different regions. This is a summary of the WGO task force meeting at the American Gastroenterological Association's (AGA) Digestive Disease Week, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, May, 2010. The expert panel identified the most pressing issues in IBD worldwide: reliable epidemiological data, global collaboration in clinical and basic research, the approach to distinguishing intestinal tuberculosis from Crohn's disease, access to specialist care and access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
每年 5 月 29 日，世界胃肠病组织（WGO）都会庆祝世界消化健康日（WDHD），并通过其 110 个国家协会和 50,000 名成员发起全球公共卫生运动。每年都会关注一种特定的消化疾病，以提高公众对预防和治疗的认识。2010 年的主题是炎症性肠病（IBD）。为此，WGO 成立了一个由国际知名专家和研究人员组成的 IBD 工作组。工作组还包括美国胃肠病学会（AGA）、国际炎症性疾病研究组织（IOIBD）和欧洲克罗恩病和结肠炎组织（ECCO）的成员，这些组织均隶属于欧洲胃肠病学联合会（UEGF）。该工作组的目标是汇集来自世界各地的 IBD 专家，讨论不同地区 IBD 的流行病学、诊断和管理。本文是 WGO 工作组在美国路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的美国胃肠病学会（AGA）消化疾病周会议上的总结。专家组确定了全球 IBD 领域最紧迫的问题：可靠的流行病学数据、临床和基础研究方面的全球合作、鉴别肠结核与克罗恩病的方法、获取专家治疗的机会以及获取最新诊断和治疗策略的机会。
