Abstract Background Fistulas may arise as a relevant complication of Crohn’s disease (CD). Despite their clinical significance and the substantial burden imposed on patients, limited data are available on the epidemiology of fistulizing CD in the United States. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted to identify data published between 1970 and 2017 on the epidemiology of fistulas in patients with CD, with the aim to estimate the number of prevalent cases in the United States. Retrieved titles and abstracts were screened by 2 independent researchers for inclusion criteria (US population-based studies reporting data on the epidemiology of fistulizing CD). To validate the literature-based estimate, data from a US claims database (Truven Health MarketScan database) were analyzed. This database has broad geographic coverage, with health care data for >60 million patients during the period of the analysis. Results The literature search retrieved 7 articles for full-text review, and only 1 met the criteria for inclusion. This study described the cumulative incidence of fistulas in a CD population from Minnesota over 20 years. From the reported data, the estimated number of prevalent cases with fistulizing CD in the United States was ~76,600 in 2017 (~52,900 anal, ~7400 rectovaginal, ~2300 enterocutaneous, and ~14,100 internal). Analysis from the US health care database resulted in an estimated number of ~75,700 patients, confirming the robustness of the original estimate from the literature. Conclusions Based on 2 separate analyses, the estimated number of patients with fistulizing CD in the United States is ~77,000 patients.

Abstract Objective SSc and localized sclerosis (LoS) are considered clinically distinct entities. We describe herein the coexistence of SSc and LoS by both a systematic literature review and an observational cohort study of unselected SSc patients. Methods Original studies documenting the coexistence of SSc and LoS were identified in three electronic databases by means of a systematic literature search according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Additionally, the coexistence of SSc and LoS was studied in a prospective cohort of SSc patients visiting the Ghent University Scleroderma Unit for their yearly follow-up visit between January 2018 and January 2019. Results Five studies were finally included for quality appraisal and data extraction. The coexistence of SSc and LoS ranged between 2.4 and 7.4%. RP, scleroderma pattern on nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) and the presence of SSc-specific antibodies were commonly observed in coexistent cases. Additionally, coexistence of SSc and LoS was found in 8/296 (2.7%) consecutive SSc patients of the Ghent University Scleroderma Unit. RP was present in 6/8 coexistent cases; a scleroderma pattern on NVC was observed in all coexistent cases, and SSc-specific antibodies (i.e. cenp-B) were found in 4/8 coexistent cases. Conclusion This is the first systematic literature review with additional cohort evaluation investigating the coexistence of SSc and LoS. A relatively high overlap of SSc and LoS was revealed, which is peculiar because both are rare diseases.

Abstract Objectives To conduct a systematic literature review to evaluate the global incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage grade 2–4 among extremely preterm infants. Methods We performed searches in MEDLINE and Embase for intraventricular hemorrhage and prematurity cited in English language observational studies published from May 2006 to October 2017. Included studies analyzed data from infants born at ≤28 weeks’ gestational age and reported on intraventricular hemorrhage epidemiology. Results Ninety-eight eligible studies encompassed 39 articles from Europe, 31 from North America, 25 from Asia, five from Oceania, and none from Africa or South America; both Europe and North America were included in two publications. The reported global incidence range of intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3–4 was 5–52% (Europe: 5–52%; North America: 8–22%; Asia: 5–36%; Oceania: 8–13%). When only population-based studies were included, the incidence range of intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3–4 was 6–22%. The incidence range of intraventricular hemorrhage grade 2 was infrequently documented and ranged from 5–19% (including population-based studies). The incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage was generally inversely related to gestational age. Conclusions Intraventricular hemorrhage is a frequent complication of extremely preterm birth. Intraventricular hemorrhage incidence range varies by region, and the global incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage grade 2 is not well documented.
