The world's largest-ever study into Inflammatory Bowel Disease has just been released, predicting cases here are set to double in the next 20 years.
The landmark study has identified four distinct stages of growth of IBD in more than 80 countries across the globe.
It hopes to provide a framework to allow health systems like ours to better anticipate and manage the growing burden of IBD.
