Challenges in Designing a National Surveillance Program for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the United States

Abstract: This review describes the history of US government funding for surveillance programs in IBD, provides current estimates of the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in the United States (US), and enumerates a number of challenges faced by current and future IBD surveillance programs. A rationale for expanding the focus of IBD surveillance beyond counts of incidence and prevalence, in order to provide a greater understanding of the burden of IBD, disease etiology and pathogenesis, is pro… Show more

“…IBD is an umbrella term that regroups a number of inflammatory diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, the two main forms of which are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis [10]. The increasing incidence of IBD in countries with a more westernized lifestyle [10] suggests the influence of environmental factors, which may alter the microbiota in favor of disease onset and/or progression [11].…”

“…The increasing incidence of IBD in countries with a more westernized lifestyle [10] suggests the influence of environmental factors, which may alter the microbiota in favor of disease onset and/or progression [11]. A large body of evidence also points to genetic factors in the cause of IBD, with at least 163 loci now known to influence predisposition to Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis [12].…”

“…Common symptoms for these diseases include diarrhea, abdominal tenderness or pain, rectal bleeding, and possible weight loss [Lichenstein et al 2008;Kornbluth et al 2010;Cosnes et al 2011;Danese et al 2014]. In the United States, the incidence and prevalence rates for UC and CD have been increasing and are reported as 7.9 and 8.8 cases per 100,000 person years and 263 and 241 per 100,000 adults diagnosed with UC and CD, respectively [Kappelman et al 2013;Long et al 2014].…”
