Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Canadian Burden of Illness Review

Abstract: The present review documents a high burden of illness from IBD due to its high prevalence in Canada combined with high per-patient costs. Canada has among the highest prevalence and incidence rates of IBD in the world. Individuals with IBD face challenges in the current environment including lack of awareness of IBD as a chronic disease, late or inappropriate diagnosis, inequitable access to health care services and expensive medications, diminished employment prospects and limited community-based support.

“…Evalúa todo el intestino delgado en el 79% al 90% de los pacientes. Su rendimiento diagnóstico es del 38% al 83%, con una sensibilidad del 95% y una especificidad del 75%, un valor predictivo positivo del 94% al 97% y un valor predictivo negativo del 83% al 100% (23). La probabilidad de encontrar lesiones mediante este método se correlaciona positivamente con las siguientes circunstancias: hemoglobina menor de 10 g%, duración del sangrado mayor de 6 meses, más de un episodio de hemorragia y sangrado manifiesto frente a oculto (60% frente a 46%, respectivamente) (24).…”

The quality of life of the patient is severely compensated with continuing symptoms, reduction in the ability to work, social stigma, bathroom access issues, difficulty with physical intimacy and restriction in career choices [8].…”

“…Inflammatory bowel disease is composed of two clinical entities, Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis and these clinical manifestations of chronic recurring inflammatory disorders of the intestinal mucosa impose a significant impact on human health and healthcare expenditures (Abraham & Cho, 2009;Kaser, Zeissig, & Blumberg, 2010). The economic costs of IBD to health care can range in the billions of dollars annually, and indeed in 2012, the economic costs in Canada were greater than 2.8 billion ($12 000/IBD patient) (Rocchi et al, 2012). Due to the significant ramifications of IBD on people's lives, it is imperative that researchers gain better insight into the pathogenesis of these disorders.…”
