Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: children with inflammatory bowel disease who were followed until their adult age showed 3 times more risk of death than healthy controls. The relative risk for death has not decreased with development of new drugs for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Reviewers’ commentary: childhood onset inflammatory bowel disease is related with higher risk of mortality in all ages. Associated causes are tumors, infections, respiratory and digestive diseases. Studies must be done on the identification and control of risk factors related to the disease itself as well as to its treatments.
