Colorectal Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa: Diagnostic Challenges and Systemic Care Constraints.
The American surgeon

Colorectal Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa: Diagnostic Challenges and Systemic Care Constraints.

The review highlights that colorectal IBD is under-recognized and often mistaken for infectious colitis in sub‑Saharan Africa due to limited diagnostic and specialist resources, which can delay appropriate care.

Country-year agreement between GBD 2023 ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease rates and GIVES population-based observations: an ecological agreement study

Compares widely used modelled GBD rates with population-based observations and finds they are not interchangeable for country-year estimates—important for research, surveillance, and policy that rely on these numbers.
