The article presents a population-based registry designed to estimate incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the area of Forlì (north-eastern Italy).
The registry included all patients with IBD ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) in the Forlì area from 1993 to 2013. A data manager matched records from various sources.
Seven hundred ninety-one patients were registered during the study period, 564 (71.3%) with UC and 227 (28.7%) with CD. The standardized annual incidence rate for UC was 12.8 per 100,000 females (95% CI 11.1-14.4) and 15.7 per 100,000 males (95% CI 13.9-17.5). That of CD was 7.0 per 100,000 for females (95% CI 5.7-8.3) and 5.4 per 100,000 males (95% CI 4.3-6.4). The prevalence of CD and UC on 1 January 2014 was 109.2 per 100,000 inhabitants (95% CI 94.3-124.2) and 266.4 per 100,000 inhabitants (95% CI 243.4-289.7), respectively.
Although further studies are needed, the data suggest that incidence and prevalence of IBD in Italy are underestimated.
本文介绍了一个基于人群的注册系统,旨在评估意大利东北部福尔利地区炎症性肠病(IBD)的发病率和患病率。
该注册系统纳入了 1993 年至 2013 年福尔利地区所有的 IBD(溃疡性结肠炎[UC]和克罗恩病[CD])患者。数据管理员匹配了来自不同来源的记录。
在研究期间共登记了 791 例患者,其中 564 例(71.3%)为 UC,227 例(28.7%)为 CD。UC 的标准化年发病率为女性 12.8/10 万(95%CI 11.1-14.4),男性 15.7/10 万(95%CI 13.9-17.5)。CD 的发病率为女性 7.0/10 万(95%CI 5.7-8.3),男性 5.4/10 万(95%CI 4.3-6.4)。2014 年 1 月 1 日时 CD 和 UC 的患病率分别为 109.2/10 万居民(95%CI 94.3-124.2)和 266.4/10 万居民(95%CI 243.4-289.7)。
尽管还需要进一步研究,但这些数据表明意大利的 IBD 发病率和患病率被低估了。
