“…This survey investigated the approximate annual number of patients treated in each institution, and does not accurately reflect the incidence and prevalence of IBD in each country. However, marked increases have been reported in the incidence and prevalence of IBD over the last 10-20 years in Japan, Korea and China, suggesting that the results of this survey are consistent with the actual situation [17,18,19,20]. Consistent with previous studies, there are generally more UC than CD patients in the East Asian countries surveyed [1].…”

Background and Aim: The prevalence and incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are lower in East Asia than in Western countries; however, marked increases have recently been reported. The clinical diagnosis and medical management of IBD in East Asia differ from those in Western countries. A questionnaire-based survey was performed to gather physicians' current opinions on IBD in different East Asian countries. Methods: Representative International Gastrointestinal Consensus Symposium (IGICS) committee members provided a questionnaire to physicians in each East Asian country studied. The questionnaire mainly focused on the diagnosis and management of IBD. Results: There were 19 respondents from Japan, 10 from South Korea, 9 from the Philippines, 6 from China and 4 from Indonesia. Colonoscopy (100%) and histopathology (63%) were commonly used for the diagnosis in ulcerative colitis (UC). Conventional small bowel enteroclysis was still the most common diagnostic tool for assessing small bowel lesions in Crohn's disease (CD) in East Asia. The percentage of physicians who investigated the reactivation of Cytomegalovirus in severe or refractory patients with UC ranged from 0% in the Philippines and Indonesia to 100% in Japan and Korea. Most physicians in Korea, the Philippines, China and Indonesia chose thiopurines or anti-TNF therapy as the second-line treatment in severe refractory UC, whereas Japanese physicians preferred to use tacrolimus or leukocyte apheresis. Physicians in the Philippines and Indonesia preferred to use oral 5-aminosalicylic acid for newly diagnosed severe ileocecal CD. In contrast, Korean physicians chose oral steroids and most physicians in China and Japan preferred to use anti-TNF. Nutritional therapy to induce or maintain remission in patients with CD was commonly used in Indonesia, Japan and China. Targeted biopsies by conventional colonoscopy were the most preferred strategy for cancer surveillance in long-standing UC over random biopsies in this region. Conclusions: The present survey found that current diagnostic approaches and clinical management of IBD vary within East Asian countries.

“…The disease localization and phenotypic behavior at time of diagnosis did not differ between both sexes in our cohort, which is in accord with the above-mentioned study (39) . Congruent with the previous Asian studies, inflammatory and ileo-colonic disease were the most common disease behavior and location (8,14,16,32,34) in this cohort. Though it is well-known fact that the IS , like thiopurines and 6-mercaptopurine are effective for both induction and maintenance of remission in CD (25) , only nearly two-thirds of patients in this cohort were treated with IS therapy for maintenance.…”

“…An even lower incidence rate was reported for Sri Lanka with an incidence of 0.09/100,000 inhabitants in 2008 [12] . Moderate incidence has been reported for Hong Kong, China with an incidence of 1.25 per 100,000 individuals in 2011 [13] and Korea, with an incidence approaching 5.1/100,000 for CD in 2008 [14] .

Crohn disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the alimentary tract. It is an increasingly global health concern, with recent data indicating rising rates across many countries in the world, along with a growing prevalence in childhood. Numerous reports indicate that Crohn disease is no longer confined to Western countries, with many reports of diagnosis in other regions including less developed nations. Changes in dietary patterns, along with other environmental factors, appear to account for these recent changes in the patterns of Crohn disease epidemiology. The objective of this work was to review current available literature concerning the epidemiology of Crohn disease and to consider the possible roles of environmental factors that may be implicated in these changing patterns. Widespread data indicates increasing incidence of Crohn disease in many countries across the world. The reasons for these rapid changes in the epidemiology of Crohn disease are not clearly understood. However, environmental changes appear to the most important factors for these recent changes.
