First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Who is studied
The Lothian IBD registry (LIBDR) was compiled through a capture-recapture methodology, describes the observed prevalence of IBD in Lothian between 2008 and 2018, and has been maintained as a prospective registry since 1 August 2018 and thus the study period is up to 1st August 2025 (2008 - 2025). The study size is expected to be a defined population of approximately 4000 UC patients, with more than 600 having commenced an advanced therapy. The study period will be from 2008 - 2025.
