R Patel et al. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2024; https://doi.org/10.1093/ibd/izae020.067. DECIPHERING THE BURDEN OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE LANDSCAPE (1990-2019) IN HIGH INCOME NORTH AMERICA: PROJECTIONS, TEMPORAL SHIFTS, AND A GLIMPSE BEYOND TO 2040 

Methods: “Utilizing Global Burden of DIsease tool, we estimated IBD prevalence, incidence, mortality, and Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) of IBD in High-Income North America. Standardized statistical techniques facilitated comparisons by age, sex, year within this specific region. The DisMod-MR 2.1 tool was employed to estimate incidence and prevalence, while mortality rates were discerned using the Cause of Death Ensemble Model (CODEm). Additionally, we projected the deaths and Years of Life Lost (YLLs) up to 2040 using regression analysis.”
