Abstract:
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of Inflammatory
Bowel Disease (IBD) in Mosul Hospital, Iraq, in 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to collect
data from patients diagnosed with IBD in Mosul Hospital. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic and clinical data, including risk factors, symptoms, and treatment outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics
and logistic regression. Results: The study included 150 participants, with a mean age of (42.5. ± years and 56%
being male. Women were found to be less likely to know the type of Crohn’s disease compared to men. 58.7% of
participants did not have any other diseases, while 41.3% had multiple diseases. The CH type was known for 56.8%
of participants, and the average disease duration was 70.41 months, ranging from 2 to 360 months. Most participants
(72.1%) did not have involvement in a particular place, while 27.9% did. All participants had known involvement.
81.8% of participants did not use drugs, while 18.2% did, with partial or unknown drug usage reported in 39 individuals. Only 7.8% of participants had IBD in their family, while 92.2% did not. Most participants (95.2%) were
smokers. Conclusion: The study highlights the need for increased awareness and early detection of IBD in Mosul
Hospital. The identification of risk factors and symptoms can aid in the diagnosis and management of the disease.
Further research is necessary to understand the underlying causes of IBD and to develop effective prevention and
treatment strategies.
