Epidemiology, course and socio-economic influence of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity5 @entity31 @entity29 @entity30
Based on the literature and on our own experience from a follow-up study of all @entity29 @entity1 in a defined population, the epidemiology, course and social economic aspects of the diseases are discussed. The incidence of @entity31 has shown geographical differences with a stable incidence in Stockholm, Cardiff, the United Kingdom and Copenhagen compared to a remarkable increase in incidence in Iceland, Faroe islands, Norway, Scotland and North Tees since 1970. For @entity30 there has been an overall increase in incidence in all studies with a tendency towards a plateau in recent years in some areas. The prevalence of @entity31 in 1978 was 117/10(5) and for @entity30 34/10(5) in Copenhagen county. The survival of the @entity1 did not differ from that of the background except for a small excess mortality in elderly @entity1 with @entity31 within the first 2 years with the disease. 10% of @entity1 with @entity31 were colectomized within 1 year and 23% within 10 years. 55% of @entity1 with @entity30 were operated on within 10 years, 11% two or more times. The number of @entity1 in complete remission for 10 years after the initial attack is practically zero. 90% of @entity1 with @entity31 and about 80% with @entity30 have full work capacity. The risk of @entity5 is 1.4% in @entity31 after 18 years (e.g. twice the risk in the background population) and is markedly lower than in previous reports. In @entity30 no increased risk of @entity5 was found.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
