Influence of urban/rural and coastal/inland environment on the prevalence, phenotype, and clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease patients from northwest of Spain

Abstract: Crohn's disease was found more frequently in urban and coastal areas and ulcerative colitis in inland municipalities. Place of residence may also influence phenotype and clinical course as patients living on the coast have more frequent ileocolonic Crohn's disease phenotype, extensive ulcerative colitis, and greater need for immunosuppressive therapy.

“…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].…”

“…24,25 The place of residence may also affect the phenotype and clinical course of the disease. 26 Family history of the disease, which is greater among pediatric-onset UC and is with more disease severity, was detected in 25.6% of the patients similar to other parts of Asia and more than the results reported by Moller and colleagues in Europe 27,28 Bloody diarrhea was the most common presentations like another study at the disease onset. 29 Most of the patients had left colon involvement so higher frequency of abdominal pain could be due to the presence of concomitant irritable bowel syndrome.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7] The Spanish incidence of IBD seems to have increased in recent years, similarly to other countries, 8 9 and ranges between 8 and 11 cases per 100 000 inhabitants per year. [10][11][12] IBD has been frequently associated with comorbidities that, although not having a direct relationship with bowel inflammation, can modify the course and management outcomes of the disease. 13 The prevalence of comorbidities in patients with IBD ranges between 30% and 70%.…”
