Background:
The global burden of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is on the rise. Studies regarding the incidence of IBD in China remain notably limited.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to estimate the epidemiology of IBD in Jiangsu Province.
Methods:
We used data from Jiangsu IBD Big Data Center based on National Healthcare Big Data (East) Center to identify IBD cases during the period 2020-2022. Incidence rates, prevalence rates, as well as both crude and age-standardized incidence rates, were computed.
Results:
A total of 26,446 IBD cases were identified between 2020 and 2022, including 12,062 newly diagnosed IBD cases in 2022. The prevalence of IBD was 31.21 (95% confidence interval [CI], 30.83-31.58) per 100,000 population on 31 December 2022. The incidence in 2022 was 14.23 (95% CI, 13.98-14.49) per 100,000 population. The incidence rates of UC and CD between males and females were comparable.
Conclusions:
The rising trend in both the incidence and prevalence of IBD in China aligns with prior observations from other regions. These data underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance patient management and optimize resource allocation.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
