BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The number of prospective population-based studies on Crohn's disease[CD] is still limited from Eastern Europe. The present study is a continuation of the Veszprem IBD cohort. Our aim was to analyse incidence, prevalence, disease phenotype, treatment strategy, disease course, and surgical outcomes in a prospective population-based inception cohort including CD patients diagnosed between 2007 and 2018.

METHODS: A total of 421 consecutive inception patients were included [male/female:237/184; mean age at diagnosis: 33.3 ± 16.2years]. Both in-hospital and outpatient records were collected and comprehensively reviewed. Demographic data were derived from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office.

RESULTS: Mean incidence rate was 9.9 [95% CI: 9.0-10.9]/105 person-years in this 12-year period. Prevalence rate was 236.8 [95% CI: 220.8-252.8] in 2015; 17.6% and 20.0% of the patients had stenosing[B2] and penetrating[B3] disease behavior at diagnosis,respectively. The probability of disease behaviour progression from luminal to B2/B3 phenotype was 14.7% (standard error [SE]: 2.2) at 5 years after diagnosis. Distribution of maximal therapeutic steps during the total follow-up (8.5 years [8.5y], standard deviation [SD]: 3.3) was 5-aminosalicylic acid [5-ASA] in 15.7%, corticosteroids in 14.3%, immunosuppressives in 42.5%, and biologic therapy in 26.2%. The probability of receiving biologictherapy after diagnosis was 20.9% [SE: 2.0] at 5 years. The probability of first resective surgery was 20.7% [SE: 2.0] at 1 year, 26.1% [SE: 2.2] at 5 years, and 30.7% [SE: 2.4] at 10 years. The perianal surgery rate was 31.3% among patients with perianal involvement.

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of CD in Hungary was high, similar to high-incidence areas in Western Europe. Treatment strategies are reflecting the biologic era. Disease behaviour progression was lower, as well as long-term [10y] surgery rates decreasing compared with data from previous decades.
