RESUMEN

Introducción:

La incidencia de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, y de la colitis ulcerosa en particular, varía ampliamente según la zona geográfica y se ha constatado un aumento de ésta en los últimos años; sin embargo, parte de estas diferencias pueden deberse a la metodología empleada.

Objetivos:

Conocer la incidencia de la colitis ulcerosa en nuestra área de influencia y compararla con la descrita en otras zonas de España y Europa, así como algunos aspectos clinicoepidemiológicos relacionados con ella. Material y

métodos:

Estudio descriptivo y prospectivo, de base poblacional, llevado a cabo durante el período 2000-2001, sobre los pacientes diagnosticados de colitis ulcerosa en el área de influencia del Hospital Costa del Sol, con una población de 210.384 habitantes. La tasa bruta de incidencia fue ajustada por el método directo, utilizando como referencia la población estándar europea (UE 25 en el año 2000); se calculó también el intervalo de confianza del 95%.

Resultados:

Se estudió a 43 pacientes, 23 varones (53,5%) y 20 mujeres (46,5%), con una edad media de 35,23 años (desviación estándar = 15,42); 33 son residentes en el área de influencia del Hospital Costa del Sol, que se incluyeron para el cálculo de la incidencia, con lo que se obtuvo una incidencia bruta de 7,84 y ajustada por edad y sexo a la población europea de 7,26 por 100.000 habitantes/año, respectivamente.

Conclusiones:

La incidencia en el área de influencia del Hospital Costa del Sol es mayor a la encontrada en otros estudios realizados en la Comunidad Andaluza y superior a algunos estudios llevados a cabo en el norte de la Península
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease, and of ulcerative colitis in particular, varies widely according to geographical area and has been reported to have increased in the last few years, although some of the differences observed may be due to the methodology employed.

Objectives:

To determine the incidence of ulcerative colitis in our area and to compare it with that described in other areas of Spain and Europe, as well as to describe certain clinico-epidemiological aspects of this disease. Material and

methods:

A descriptive, prospective, population-based study was performed from 2000-2001 in patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in the catchment area of the Hospital Costa del Sol, with a population of 210,384 inhabitants. The crude incidence rate was adjusted by the direct method, using the European standard population (EU-25, 2000) as the reference population; 95% confidence intervals were calculated.

Results:

Forty-three patients (23 men [53.5%] and 20 women [46.5%], with a mean age of 35.23 years [SD = 15.42]) were included. Thirty-three percent were residents of the Hospital Costa del Sol's catchment area and were included in the calculation of incidence. The crude incidence was 7.84 and the incidence adjusted by age and sex to the European population was 7.26 per 100,000 inhabitants/year.

Conclusions:

The incidence of ulcerative colitis in the area of the Hospital Costa del Sol is higher than that found in other studies performed in the autonomous community of Andalusia as well as that observed in some studies performed in the north of the Península
