| Core Tip |
We describe the presenting features of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in 7 paediatric gastroenterology centers across six Asia-Pacific regions via a centrally-hosted electronic data capture platform. Clinical, endoscopic and radiologic data of 311 paediatric patients diagnosed with IBD between 1995 and 2019 were extracted. The ratio of Crohn’s (CD):Ulcerative colitis:IBD-Unclassified was 55.9%:38.3%:5.8%. The mean age was 9.07 years with a high proportion of very early onset IBD (VEO-IBD) and EO-IBD. An over-representation of the Indian/South Asian ethnic group was observed in the multiethnic subpopulations of Singapore and Malaysia. Patients of Indian/South Asian ethnicity were also most likely to present with symptomatic perianal CD. |
