“…Available information about time trends in incidence, prevalence and public health impact of IBD in Italy is not fully reliable. As demonstrated by a recent Italian review about CD, there are many data but coming from heterogeneous sources [12]. Many studies, the most important being the EpiCom experience, have shown the importance of conducting large epidemiological studies and meta-analyses to better understand IBD trends, risk factors, and behaviour [13].…”

“…Factors accounting for this include the lack of a national registry (except for paediatric patients) and differences in data sources and study methods. In several geographic areas, the reported incidence rates range between 2.3 and 15.4 per 100,000 [12].…”

“…The incidence of CD shows significant distributional differences according to race and region. A 2013 study on the geographic variation and environmental risk factors for CD showed that the incidence of CD is higher in Europe and America, with an average annual prevalence of 13.7–198.5/10 5 and a morbidity of 3.74–14.6/10 5 7 . The prevalence and morbidity of CD in China are increasing each year; the prevalence and morbidity of CD were 2.29/10 5 and 1.21/10 5 , respectively, from 2003 to 2007, which was increased compared with that from 1950 to 2002 (1.38/10 5 and 0.28/10 5 , respectively) 8 .…”

This study aimed to investigate application of Onodera prognostic nutrition index (OPNI) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in evaluating risk of postoperative complications in Crohn’s disease (CD). Clinical data of 108 postoperative CD patients in 9 years were respectively reviewed. OPNI and NLR were within 1 week preoperatively. Average OPNI was 38.8 ± 8.2 and significantly lower in patients with: CD type B3; lymphopenia; decreased haemoglobin, prealbumin, and albumin; and daily enteral nutrition <500 kcal/d. Average NLR was 5.9 ± 12.1 and significantly higher in patients with: CD type B3, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, decreased prealbumin, and enteral nutrition <500 kcal/d. Youden index was maximal at OPNI 39.8 and NLR 4.1, patients were divided into two groups by OPNI 39.8 and NLR 4.1; Low OPNI (≤39.8) group had significantly greater incidence of type B3, lymphopenia, decreased haemoglobin, prealbumin and albumin, and enteral nutrition <500 kcal/day, more likely to have intra-abdominal bleeding. High NLR group (≥4.1) had significantly greater incidence of type B3, neutrophilia, and lymphopenia, more likely to develop lung infection. OPNI and NLR were significantly negatively correlated. Smoking within 1 year preoperatively, OPNI <39.8, NLR ≥ 4.1 were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in CD.

“…The overall prevalence of CD-related anal fistulas was calculated as the mean prevalence of anal fistulas in the Crohn's population, obtained from population-based, cross-sectional studies, multiplied by the weighted mean prevalence of CD/10,000 population in Europe, obtained from studies published over the last 10 years (2008-2017; Supplementary Material File 3) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The weighted mean prevalence of Crohn's disease was calculated on the basis of the 2017 mid-year populations [32].…”

Introduction: Despite the fact that perianal fistulas are associated with significant morbidity and impaired quality of life, their prevalence in Europe is unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of perianal fistulas in Europe, overall and according to etiology. Methods: Two independent literature reviews were performed using different search strategies to maximize the identification of potentially relevant studies. Data from relevant articles were used to estimate the prevalence of perianal fistulas in Europe. The robustness of the estimate was evaluated using data from a large population-based database from the UK. Results: A total of 26 studies provided epidemiological data on perianal fistulas, of which 16 provided suitable data to estimate the prevalence. Estimations using these data yielded a total prevalence of 1.69 per 10,000 population. Cryptoglandular infection and Crohn's disease (CD) were the predominant etiologies, with prevalence rates at 0.86 and 0.76 per 10,000 population, respectively. Comparison of prevalence data from the UK population-based database with the European population resulted Enhanced Digital Features To view enhanced digital features for this article go to https://doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.9948788.
