The authors report 481 colonoscopic examinations, performed in the Amiri Hospital, Kuwait. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the pattern of colonic diseases in this region and to compare our findings with those reported from elsewhere. Although these are preliminary results, they suggest that colonic diseases, in general, are uncommon in this area. Ulcerative colitis was the most common pathology detected on colonoscopy. Polyps and diverticulosis were less common than those observed in the west. The frequency of Crohn's disease in Indians and Pakistanis in Kuwait was found to be high, although it is reported to be a very rare disease in their native countries.
作者报告了在科威特阿米里医院进行的481例结肠镜检查。本文的目的是展示该地区结肠疾病的模式，并将我们的发现与其他地方报告的结果进行比较。尽管这些是初步结果，但它们表明，一般来说，结肠疾病在该地区并不常见。溃疡性结肠炎是结肠镜检查中最常见的病理发现。息肉和憩室病比在西方观察到的要少见。发现科威特的印度人和巴基斯坦人患克罗恩病的频率很高，尽管据报道在他们的祖国这是一种非常罕见的疾病。
