Crohn’s Disease
Descriptive for incidence / prevalenceWhole population from screening or clinical data
Introduction

Corticosteroids,
Oral 5 aminosalicylates: sulfasalazine and mesalamineTNF – alpha blockersAntibiotics (Loftus et al., 2002 ; Peppercorn, 2013)
Diagnosis
Symptoms: fever, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, weight loss, night sweats (Greef et al., 2013) Who is at risk: major risk children and adults (Lichtenstein,2009)
Environmental causes: cigarette smoking, appendectomy(Loftus, 2004)
Contributing factors: diet (sugary and fried foods), genetics,previous infections and hygiene (Peppercorn, 2013))
Endoscopic, radiographic or pathological screenings laboratory (Lichtenstein et al., 2009)
Lack of NOD2/CARD15-gene associated with CD (Lichtensteinet al., 2009)

Methods
Data on incidence and prevalence from 1990 onwards were found from medical literature and abstracts presented at international congresses such as, Digestive Disease Week, United European Gastroenterology Week, and European Crohn’s and Colitis Organization meetingSerial data – incidence was evaluated for the epidemiological trends over the last 15 yearsStudies focusing on the epidemiology of genetic alterations related to CD were retrieved using Medline and Scopus

Incidence and prevalence in North-America
North-America: incidence range from 3.1-20.2 cases per100,000 (Peppercorn, 2013)
US: estimated 201 cases per 100,000 population(Peppercorn, 2013)
Social background plays an importance (Peppercorn, 2013; Ponder & Long, 2013))Canada: 76 per 100,000 (Economou & Pappas, 2008) Region rates in Canada differs because different genetic susceptibility and lower hygiene (Economou & Pappas, 2008)Most incidents of females in the age range of 30-40 years(Economou & Pappas, 2008)

Incidence and prevalence in North-America
• Incidence and prevalence of Crohn’s disease stabilises in high-incidence areas: Europe and North-America (Peppercorn,2013)
Rising in low-incidence areas: Southern Europe, Asia and developing countries (Loftus, 2004)1.4 million people suffer from it in the US (Loftus, 2004)

Incidence and prevalence inEurope
Sweden and Scotland highest cases of prevalence (Economou& Pappas, 2008)
Study conducted on prevalence of CD showed Scandinavia has a higher incidence than Estonia, because it is believed to be differences in gut flora (Economou & Pappas, 2008)A common disease in Northern Europe and incidences are rising in Southern Europe, this is due to nutritional aspects and wealth (Hovde & Moum, 2012)Highest annual incidence of CD was 12.7 per 100,000 person-years in Europe (Molodecky et al., 2012)

Incidence and Trends for CD inNorth America and Europe
Data from:• ‘New Global Map of Crohn’s Disease: Genetic, Environmental, and Socioeconomic Correlations’ authors:Economou & Pappas, 2008

Country Incidence Trend(cases/ 10⁵)
America (Minnesota) 7 Steady
Sweden 8.9 Fluctuating
Norway 5.8 Steady
Canada (Nova Scotia) 20.2 Varies
UK- Scotland 11.7 Varies
UK- England-Wales 5.9 – 11.1 Varies

Conclusion
Only palliative treatment can be used because CD is not a curable diseaseThe incidence and prevalence have increased over the years It might be related not only to genetic factor as well as nutritional, hygiene and environmental factorLack of NOD2/CARD15-gene
