Ethnic Issues and Disparities in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: What Can We Learn from the Arab Population in Israel?

Inflammatory bowel diseases are increasing among different ethnic groups. We aimed to compare the clinical characteristics, complications, and outcomes among Arab and Jewish people sharing the same healthcare system. All patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) or u...

description Inflammatory bowel diseases are increasing among different ethnic groups. We aimed to compare the clinical characteristics, complications, and outcomes among Arab and Jewish people sharing the same healthcare system. All patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) between the years 2000 and 2021 were included. Data regarding demographics, disease characteristics, extraintestinal manifestation, treatment, comorbidities, and mortality were retrieved. A total of 1263 (9.8%) Arab CD patients were compared with 11,625 Jewish CD patients, and 1461 (11.8%) Arab UC patients were compared to 10,920 Jewish patients. Arab CD patients were younger at diagnosis, 36.11 ± 16.7 compared to 39.98 ± 19.4 years, < 0.001, 59.5% males compared to 48.7%, < 0.001; in addition, Arab CD patients had a higher rate of anal fissure, perianal abscess, erythema nodosum, diabetes mellitus, obesity, liver cirrhosis, and male infertility. Arab CD patients were less frequently treated with azathioprine or mercaptopurine compared with Jewish patients. No significant difference was found in the rate of anti-TNF treatment, but a higher rate of steroids treatment was found. The all-cause mortality of CD patients was lower among Arab patients (8.4% vs. 10.2%, = 0.039). Significant differences were found regarding disease characteristics, course, comorbidities, and treatment among Arab and Jewish patients with IBD.
