Core Tip
Core Tip: This study provides an epidemiological profile of IBD hospitalizations in Brazil from 2008 to 2018 and analyzes in-hospital mortality (IHM) between 1998 and 2017. There was a reduction from 6975 hospital admissions in 1998 to 4113 in 2017 (trend: y = -0.1682x + 342.8; R2 = 0.8197; P < 0.0001). The hospitalization rate decreased from 3.60/100000 in 2000 to 2.17 in 2010. The total cost of hospitalizations in 2017 showed an increase of 37.5% compared to 2008. IHM rates varied during the 20-year period and did not follow a linear trend, decreasing in the Southeast region but increasing in the Northeast region.
