Core Tip |
Crohn’s disease (CD) diagnoses are increasing in Asia. While family history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is recognized as the strongest independent risk factor for CD in western populations, it is unknown if family history plays a role in Asians. This study compares the prevalence of IBD family history, the relationships of affected relatives, and CD-related outcomes such as ileal involvement, surgery, and medication use between China and the United States. |
