Mistakes in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease and how to avoid them

Neil Chanchlani, Richard K Russell

Summary

AI Generated

Approximately 1 in 10 inflammatory bowel disease cases present before adulthood, typically at age 11–12 years, with paediatric IBD characterized by more extensive and active disease than adult-onset forms.

IBD in children and young people is associated with more extensive disease, increased disease activity, and a higher rate of complications compared with adult-onset IBD.
Around 1 in 10 cases of IBD present before adulthood, with a median presentation age of 11–12 years.
Data suggest the incidence of paediatric IBD is increasing, though worldwide prevalence estimates are currently lacking.

Abstract

Around 1 in 10 cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) will present before adulthood, with the median age at presentation being 11–12 years. IBD in children and young people is associated with more extensive disease, increased disease activity and a higher rate of complications compared with adult-onset IBD. Worldwide, estimates of paediatric IBD prevalence rates are lacking, but data suggest its incidence is increasing.
