Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify sociodemographic, clinical, and endoscopic characteristics in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study period was from January 2004 to December 2014. The final diagnosis was determined by clinical gastroenterologists experienced in the diagnosis and management of IBD, based on internationally accepted diagnostic criteria. RESULTS: 105 patients with IBD were studied, 77% with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 23% with Crohn's disease (CD). The average age of initial diagnosis for UC and CD was 53.02 and 57.7 years, respectively. Regarding the gender distribution, the male:female ratio was 1.3:1 for UC and 2:1 for CD. Predominant clinical manifestations were: diarrhea (76.5%) in CU and lower gastrointestinal bleeding / abdominal pain (66.6% for each symptom) in EC. The predominant form of presentation was moderate for both CU (49.3%) and EC (62.5%). 47% of patients with UC had extensive colitis and 54.2% of patients with CD had Ileocolitis. 6.2% of the UC patients underwent surgery, whereas 50% of the CD patients required it. CONCLUSIONS: There is a tendency to an increased detection of cases of Crohn's disease in our country and in Latin America with respect to previous studies. There is a prevalence of moderate forms of presentation for both UC and CD, and high percentages of surgery in EC is evident.
