Prevalence and Demographics of Ulcerative Colitis in Europe
• In Europe, it is estimated that 2.5 million to 3 million people suffer from IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including ulcerative colitis).
• The prevalence and incidence of IBD tend to be higher in Northern and Western Europe (especially Scandinavia and the UK) and lower in Southern and Eastern Europe.
• The reported incidence rate of ulcerative colitis ranges from 0.9 to 24.3 per 100,000 people.
• The reported prevalence rate of ulcerative colitis ranges from 2.4 to 294 per 100,000 people.
• There is an increasing trend in IBD prevalence across Europe.
• A new study revealed that IBD prevalence in Europe is three times higher than previous estimates and is expected to rise further.
• A study in Norway indicated that both the incidence and prevalence of IBD are among the highest in the world.
• The burden of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Europe was specifically addressed in a 2021 publication.
• A systematic review of population-based studies provides worldwide incidence and prevalence data for IBD in the 21st century.
• The burden of inflammatory bowel disease in Europe was also discussed in a 2013 publication.
• A 2021 nationwide registry study in Norway estimated the base case incidence of ulcerative colitis to vary between 24.7 and 28.4 per 100,000 person-years from 2010 to 2017.
• In 2017, the prevalence of ulcerative colitis in Norway was estimated to be 0.50%.
• The Norwegian study concluded that both the incidence and prevalence of IBD in Norway are among the highest in the world.
• The article "Crossing barriers: the burden of inflammatory bowel disease across Western Europe" was published on 2023 Dec 22.
The burden of ulcerative colitis in Europe is substantial, with a higher prevalence observed in Northern and Western European countries. Recent findings suggest that the prevalence of IBD, including ulcerative colitis, is higher than previously thought and is expected to increase. Norway stands out with some of the highest incidence and prevalence rates globally. Overall, the epidemiology of ulcerative colitis in Europe represents a significant health concern that continues to be the subject of ongoing research.
