Core Tip	Since the first description of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the 1700’s, thousand of articles have been published on the topic. This study aimed to determine whether temporal changes occurred in IBD literature. We identified 44645 articles over the 19 year-period starting in 1993. There was an approximately 3-fold increase in all pediatric and adults articles recorded. This significant increase was true for nearly every category of articles but clinical trials, meta-analysis, and randomized controlled trials increased proportionally more than the number of “lower quality” articles such as editorials or letters to the editor. Very few guidelines were published every year.
