To study the frequency of inflammatory bowel disease in our area.
A retrospective, hospital-based analysis identifying potential cases, with a posterior study of case records following a predefined protocol, according to international standards in diagnosis.
All patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or indeterminate colitis established between 1975 and 1992 at our Hospital.
222 cases (ulcerative colitis: 109; Crohn's disease 93; indeterminate colitis 20) were identified and a clear trend for an increased incidence was found for the three diagnoses; with annual incidence below 1 for them all in the 1975-1977 period versus 3.66; 3.33; and 1 respectively in the 1990-1992 period. This trend was evident both for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
The global frequency of inflammatory bowel disease has increased in the last years in Zaragoza (Spain), and its incidence in now very similar to that reported in northern European countries. Possible factors associated with this phenomenon should be pursued in future studies.
研究我们地区炎症性肠病的发病率。
进行一项基于医院的回顾性分析，确定潜在病例，并根据国际诊断标准，按照预先定义的方案对病例记录进行事后研究。
所有于1975年至1992年期间在我院确诊为克罗恩病、溃疡性结肠炎或不确定性结肠炎的患者。
共确定了222例病例（溃疡性结肠炎：109例；克罗恩病93例；不确定性结肠炎20例），发现这三种诊断的发病率均有明显上升趋势；在1975 - 1977年期间，它们的年发病率均低于1，而在1990 - 1992年期间分别为3.66、3.33和1。这种趋势在溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病中均很明显。
过去几年里，西班牙萨拉戈萨地区炎症性肠病的总体发病率有所上升，目前其发病率与北欧国家报告的发病率非常相似。未来的研究应探讨与这一现象相关的可能因素。
