Table 1.

Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) in IBD Hospitalization rates (all-cause, IBD-related, and non-IBD-related hospitalizations) from FY 2002 to 2018 with 95% confidence intervals (CI) stratified by disease type, age group, sex, and metropolitan status.a

aAAPCs are calculated using both the IBD-specific prevalent population (all IBD, CD, or UC) and the total Alberta population denominators, respectively. (Green, significantly decreasing; red, significantly increasing; yellow, stable).

bAAPC trends comparing UC to CD show a significant effect measure modifier (P < .001).

cAAPC trends comparing age group to the referent age group (<18) show a significant effect measure modifier (P < .001).

dAAPC trends comparing age group to the referent age group (<18) show a significant effect measure modifier (p=0.04).

eAAPC trends comparing Metropolitan to Non-metropolitan show a significant effect measure modifier (P < .001).
