Implication

Retrospective cohort study shows rising prevalence of IBD in Catalonia with increased use of biological treatments, implying shifts in management strategies.

Key Points

Prevalence of IBD cases increased from 28,752 to 41,423 between 2017 and 2023, indicating a significant rise in affected individuals.
Incidence rates remained stable at about 30 per 100,000 inhabitants, while prevalence rates showed a gradual increase to 510.9 per 100,000 in 2023.
The use of biological treatments for IBD rose from 13.5% to 21.0%, with a notable decline in immunosuppressive medication usage.
Mortality rates for IBD patients, while low, were found to be higher compared to the general population, highlighting ongoing health risks.
