| description | A registry of patients with inflammatory bowel
diseases, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's
disease (CD), was created at the University of
Puerto Rico in 1995. Subjects with a documented
diagnosis of IBD by clinical, radiologic,
endoscopic, and/or pathologic criteria were
recruited from the IBD clinics, support groups, and
community practices, and demographic and medical
data was collected. All entries from 1995 to 2009
were analyzed for demographics, family history,
disease extent, extraintestinal manifestations,
surgery, and smoking history. Results were
described using summary statistics. 635 Hispanics
living in Puerto Rico, 299 with UC and 336 with CD,
were included. Mean ages were 40.3 for UC and 30.9
for CD. Over half (56%) of UC and 41% of
CD were females. Family history was present in
19.3% of UC and 17.5% of CD. Surgery for
IBD had been performed in 31.9% of UC and
51.2% of the CD patients. Over one-fourth of
the patients reported extraintestinal
manifestations, most frequently arthropathies. Our
findings contribute to the limited epidemiologic
and clinical data on Hispanics with IBD. |
