In this tertiary care setting of a single clinician practice in a Canadian teaching hospital at the University of British Columbia, Crohn's disease predominantly affects women, and young adults with a high rate of stricturing and penetrating complications.

For both sexes, with increasing age at diagnosis, Crohn's disease was less extensive, more often localized in the colon alone and characterized by less complex disease behaviour, especially with less penetrating disease complications.

Crohn ’ s disease initially diagnosed after age 60 years

The present study explored the location and behaviour of Crohn's disease using the Vienna method applied to elderly patients diagnosed after age 60 years, finding it to be female-predominant.

Crohn's disease in a southern European country: Montreal classification and clinical activity

The Montreal Classification allowed us to identify different groups of disease severity: A1 were more immunosuppressed without surgery, most of A2 patients were submitted to surgery, and 52% of L1+L14 patients were operated without Immunosuppression.

Natural History and Clinical Behavior of Crohn's Disease Extending Beyond Two Decades

A shift in disease behavior indicates that Crohn's disease is a dynamic process that phenotypically evolves and progresses with time.

Most patients who needed one or more resections had ileocolonic disease and had complex stricturing or penetrating disease, with most resections required in the first two years.

Clinical outcome of Crohn's disease according to the Vienna classification: disease location is a useful predictor of disease course

Ileocolonic disease localization is associated with a complicated course of disease and it is proposed that location parameters can be used for the prediction of disease course in clinical settings and in interventional studies.

Comparison of Longstanding Pediatric-Onset and Adult-Onset Crohn’s Disease

In pediatric-onset Crohn’s disease, female-predominance emerges during adolescence, which is more extensive than adult-onsets disease, and when followed for an extended period of time has high rates of disease complexity.

Age-Dependent Phenotypic Clinical Expression of Crohn's Disease

For both males and females, with increasing age at diagnosis, disease became less extensive, more often localized in the colon alone, and disease behavior could be characterized as more complex, especially with penetrating disease complications.

Crohn's disease patient characteristics in a tertiary referral center: comparison with patients from a population-based cohort

Patients with late onset of disease, inflammatory only disease behavior and no need for immunosuppression are under-represented at a tertiary referral center.

A Simple Classification of Crohn's Disease: Report of the Working Party for the World Congresses of Gastroenterology, Vienna 1998

The aim of this international Working Party was to develop a simple classification of Crohn's disease based on objective variables, and the allocation of patients to these 24 subgroups proved feasible and resulted in specific disease clusters.

Clinical Presentation and Course of Crohn's Disease in Southeastern Ontario

Clinical records of 222 patients with proven Crohn's disease identified at Queen's University Medical School in Kingston, Ontario from 1966 to 1984 were reviewed. Four clinical patterns were

Inflammatory bowel disease in northern Alberta. An epidemiologic study.

The Medical Record departments of the five teaching hospitals in Edmonton, plus the 37 community hospitals in the eight census districts of the northern half of the province of Alberta, Canada, were contacted, and a search was made of all patients with a discharge diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to discover patients who had never been hospitalized within these census areas.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis: morbidity and mortality.

A comparison with epidemiological population surveys strongly suggests that increased discharge rates are due mostly to increases in incidence and prevalence of IBD in the general population.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Incidence and Prevalence in Southern Alberta

A bimodal age distribution and female predominance in the younger age groups was apparent for Crohn's disease and female incidence rates were twice that of male rates.

REGIONAL ENTERITIS: DISEASE PATTERENS AND MEDICAL MANAGEMENT.

The clinical picture of regional enteritis was reviewed in 98 cases collected from five hospitals in the City of Edmonton. There was no apparent racial prevalence, although only one case was reported
