The four epidemiological stages in the global evolution of inflammatory bowel disease	2020-10-08		.txt	text/plain	9023	417	44	Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global disease; its evolution can be stratified into four epidemiological stages: Emergence, Acceleration in Incidence, Compounding Prevalence and Prevalence Equilibrium. Western regions will eventually transition to the Prevalence Equilibrium stage, in which the accelerating prevalence levels off as the IBD population ages and possibly as a result of an unexpected rise in mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. The evolution of IBD occurs within Omran's Degenerative and Human-Influenced Diseases age and has occurred across three distinct epidemiological stages ( Fig. 1) : Emergence, Acceleration in Incidence and Compounding Prevalence. In the meantime, developing, newly industrialized regions and countries of the Western world all need to innovate their current health-care delivery to address the evolving demographics of their IBD populations as they transition across epidemiological stages.	./cache/cord-255930-2bobmkvu.txt	./txt/cord-255930-2bobmkvu.txt
