  • Title: Changing patterns of inflammatory bowel diseases.
    Author: Peña AS.
    Journal: Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl; 1990; 172():1-3. PubMed ID: 2191422.
    Abstract:
    Changes in the diagnosis, mode of presentation, localization, incidence, and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases have occurred since the 1930s. Some of the changes are spurious and reflect earlier and more accurate diagnosis as a result of technologic advances. Increased information and the development of medicosurgical teams have increased gastroenterologists' ability to manage Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Associations for patients are making important contributions to the well-being of the patients. However, no major breakthrough in our understanding of the aetiology of the diseases has been achieved, and conservative treatment remains unchanged.
