Een herziene benadering van complicaties van infl ammatoire darmziekten
Infl ammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) encompasses two major chronic gastrointestinal diseases of unknown origin: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). UC solely aff ects the colon, whereas CD can involve any component of the gastrointestinal tract from the oral cavity to the anus. In 2004, an estimated 1.4 million persons in the United States and 2.2 million persons in Europe suff ered from these diseases.1 The incidence of IBD has been increasing over the years, which for UC varies greatly between 0.5 and 24.5/105 inhabitants, and for CD varies between 0.1 and 16/105 inhabitants worldwide.2, 3 The prevalence rates of IBD reach up to 396/105 inhabitants.3
