Description
Inflammatory bowel disease is rising in China, but its course in middle-aged and older patients is less mapped. The seven authors reviewed hospitalized patients in Shanghai from 2014 to 2021: 454 with ulcerative colitis and 333 with Crohn's disease. Hospitalizations rose over the period, and Crohn's patients were admitted far more often. Men had more complications than women.
Diagnosis in older patients was often hard and misdiagnosis common. Older patients had fewer complications and fewer manifestations outside the gut, but more intestinal obstruction. Disease activity tracked with fibrinogen, hemoglobin, and albumin levels. Older patients received immunosuppressants, biologics, surgery, and enteral nutrition at lower rates. The authors offer the profile as evidence to help doctors diagnose and treat older bowel disease patients more effectively.
