Abstract Background The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is increasing internationally, particularly in developing nations where rates were historically low. Previous reports of the incidence and prevalence of pediatric-onset IBD have identified a paucity of population-based studies. Aims We reviewed the global trends in incidence of pediatric IBD using evidence from population-based studies. Methods (PROSPERO CRD42019125193) We systematically reviewed studies indexed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Airiti Library, and SciELO from 01/2010-02/2020 to identify population-based studies reporting the incidence of pediatric-onset IBD, CD, and UC. Included studies combined childhood and adolescent-onset IBD (onset <21y). Changes in incidence since 2000 were plotted by continent, with data from 2000–09 provided by our previous systematic review1. To depict trends, multiple times points reported in single studies were connected on graphs. When incidence was reported as an aggregated estimate over a range of years, data was plotted using the midpoint of the interval. Results Of 8096 abstracts screened, 74 studies described the incidence of IBD, CD, or UC in 33 countries (Figure panel A). The incidence of pediatric-onset IBD is highest in Northern Europe and North America, and lowest in Southern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This geographical distribution is similar in UC, while incidence of pediatric-onset CD is highest in North America and Northern Europe, followed by Australia. Trends in incidence over time, stratified by continent, are reported in Figure, panel B. Significantly increasing incidence of IBD, CD, and/or UC was reported in China, Bahrain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and most European countries. Very Early Onset (VEO) IBD significantly increased in Canada, however Saudi Arabia reported decreasing incidence of VEO-CD but stable incidence of VEO-UC. Conclusions Conclusion: Incidence of pediatric-onset IBD are highest in Northern Europe and North American and are increasing globally. There remains a paucity of studies from many parts of the world on the incidence pediatric IBD. Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis of the rising incidence of pediatric IBD, including work to understand the genetic, environmental, immunological and microbiome alterations leading to the increasing rates in children.

Background and Aim: There is paucity of data regarding the epidemiology of pediatric IBD in Asia compared to that of Western countries. We aimed to investigate the incidence and prevalence trends of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the Daegu-Kyungpook province of South Korea from 2017 to 2020.Methods: This study was a multicenter, retrospective study conducted in eight IBD referral centers located in the Daegu-Kyungpook province. Children and adolescents of ≤18 years who were initially diagnosed with IBD between 2017 and 2020 were included. The annual number of children and adolescents newly diagnosed with IBD and the annual resident population of children and adolescents ≤18 years of age in the Daegu-Kyungpook province were investigated to calculate the annual incidence and prevalence in the region.Results: A total 304 children and adolescents that had been diagnosed with IBD were included in this study. Among these patients, 71.4% had been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD), and 28.6% with ulcerative colitis (UC). The population based annual incidences of IBD from 2017 to 2020 were each 7.24, 6.82, 10.27, and 13.33 per 100,000, respectively (P for trend <0.001), 4.48, 5.26, 7.39, and 9.8 per 100,000, respectively, for CD (P for trend <0.001), and 2.76, 1.56, 2.88, and 3.53 per 100,000, respectively, for UC (P for trend = 0.174).Conclusion: Pediatric IBD, especially CD has significantly increased recently in the Daegu-Kyungpook province. Epidemiology studies from other regions of Asia are required to better elucidate this trend of increase in Asia.

Literature on the risk of asthma among children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is limited and has reported discording results. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has evaluated the association between asthma and childhood onset IBD, focusing on pediatric IBD with onset between 10 and 17 years, early-onset IBD (EO-IBD) between 0 and 9 years, and very early-onset IBD (VEO-IBD) between 0 and 5 years, all conditions characterized by different clinical progressions. A nested matched case-control design on a longitudinal cohort of 213,515 newborns was adopted. Conditional binomial regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of asthma among children with IBD compared with controls. We found 162 children with IBD and 1620 controls. Overall, childhood onset IBD was associated with increased risks of being affected by asthma (OR: 1.49 95% CI 1.05–2.12), although a significant risk was only present among males (OR: 1.60 95% CI 1.02–2.51). Children with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis had similarly increased risks, although they failed to attain statistical significance. Risks of asthma based on age at IBD onset were inversely related to age, with the lowest non-significant risks for pediatric IBD and EO-IBD, while children affected by VEO-IBD had the highest risk of asthma (OR: 2.75 95% CI 1.26–6.02). Our study suggests the presence of a higher prevalence of asthma among both male children with IBD and children with VEO-IBD. It could be advisable to pay greater attention to possible respiratory symptoms among these categories at higher risk.

Abstract Background Population-based studies examining the prevalence of anti–tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) antagonist utilization in children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are lacking. We aimed to describe the trend of anti-TNF utilization in pediatric IBD over time. Methods Survival analyses were performed for all patients diagnosed with IBD before age 18 years in the province of Manitoba to determine the time from diagnosis to first anti-TNF prescription in different time eras (2005–2008, 2008–2012, 2012–2016). Results There were 291 persons diagnosed with IBD (157 with Crohn’s disease [CD] and 134 with ulcerative colitis [UC]) over the study period. The likelihood of being initiated on an anti-TNF by 1, 2, and 5 years postdiagnosis was 18.4%, 30.5%, and 42.6%, respectively. The proportion of persons aged <18 years utilizing anti-TNFs rose over time; in 2010, 13.0% of CD and 4.9% of UC; by 2016, 60.0% of CD and 25.5% of UC. For those diagnosed after 2012, 42.5% of CD and 28.4% of UC patients had been prescribed an anti-TNF antagonist within 12 months of IBD diagnosis. Initiating an anti-TNF without prior exposure to an immunosuppressive agent increased over time (before 2008: 0%; 2008–2012: 18.2%; 2012–2016: 42.8%; P < 0.001). There was a significant reduction in median cumulative dose of corticosteroids (CS) in the year before anti-TNF initiation (2005–2008: 4360 mg; 2008–2012: 2010 mg; 2012–2016: 1395 mg prednisone equivalents; P < 0.001). Conclusions Over a period of 11 years, anti-TNFs are being used earlier in the course of pediatric IBD, with a parallel reduction in the cumulative CS dose.

The emergence of biologic therapies has revolutionized the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by halting disease progression, increasing remission rates and improving long-term clinical outcomes. Despite these well-described benefits, many patients are reluctant to commence therapy due to drug safety concerns. Adverse events can be detected at each stage of drug development and during the post-marketing period. In this article, we review how to best assess the safety parameters of new IBD medications, from the earliest stage of development to population-based registries, with a focus on the special populations often excluded from the evaluation process.
