About this study

Official title: Epidemiology, Treatment Patterns, and Healthcare Resource Utilization in Pediatric Patients Under 18 Years of Age With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in Korea: A Claims Database Study

The purpose of this study is:

  • to find out out the number of children who develop crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) each year and are living with the disease and to see how this differs by age groups.
  • to understand how children of different age groups are treated over time and how their treatment changes as they grow.
  • to assess how often children use healthcare services and how much this costs for different age groups over several years.

CD and UC are long-term diseases that cause inflammation in intestine (part of digestive system) and develop ulcers.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT07520747
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1: Newly and Previously Diagnosed Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) ParticipantsParticipants, who have been either newly diagnosed or previously diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative colitis (UC) will be enrolled. Data will be analyzed for epidemiology, baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, health care resource utilization profiles, and associated costs. Only newly diagnosed participants will be included in the analysis of longitudinal treatment patterns and incidence estimation. Only data available per routine clinical practice will be used in this study and will be de-identified and extracted from the health insurance review and assessment (HIRA) database.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Crude and Age-Adjusted Annual Incidence in Pediatric Crohn's Disease (CD)

    The crude and age-adjusted annual incidence CD will be calculated in each calendar year. Annual incidence and the prevalence in the year of interest will be estimated using the number of newly diagnosed participants and the number of participants with the diagnosis within the corresponding year, respectively.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  2. Crude and Age-Adjusted Annual Incidence in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

    The crude and age-adjusted annual incidence UC will be calculated in each calendar year. Annual incidence and the prevalence in the year of interest will be estimated using the number of newly diagnosed participants and the number of participants with the diagnosis within the corresponding year, respectively.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  3. Crude and Age-Adjusted Annual Prevalence in Pediatric CD

    The crude and age-adjusted annual prevalence CD will be calculated in each calendar year. Annual incidence and the prevalence in the year of interest will be estimated using the number of newly diagnosed participants and the number of participants with the diagnosis within the corresponding year, respectively.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  4. Crude and Age-Adjusted Annual Prevalence in Pediatric UC

    The crude and age-adjusted annual prevalence UC will be calculated in each calendar year. Annual incidence and the prevalence in the year of interest will be estimated using the number of newly diagnosed participants and the number of participants with the diagnosis within the corresponding year, respectively.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  5. Incidence of CD by Age-Stratified Groups

    Incidence of CD stratified by age-specific subgroups (0 to less than [<] 6 years old, 6 to <10 years old, and 10 to <18 years old) will be reported.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  6. Incidence of UC by Age-Stratified Groups

    Incidence of UC stratified by age-specific subgroups (0 to <6 years old, 6 to <10 years old, and 10 to <18 years old) will be reported.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  7. Prevalence of CD by Age-Stratified Groups

    Prevalence of CD stratified by age-specific subgroups (0 to <6 years old, 6 to <10 years old, and 10 to <18 years old) will be reported.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  8. Prevalence of UC by Age-Stratified Groups

    Prevalence of UC stratified by age-specific subgroups (0 to <6 years old, 6 to <10 years old, and 10 to <18 years old) will be reported.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  9. Percentage of Participants Whose Primary Diagnosis Switched Between CD and UC

    Percentage of participants whose primary diagnosis switched at least once between CD and UC during the follow-up period will be reported.

    Measured: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)

  10. Initial Treatment Types by Age-Stratified Group

    Initial treatment types by age-stratified groups (0 to <6 years old, 6 to <10 years old, and 10 to <18 years old on the index date) will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  11. Subsequent Treatment Sequences by Age-Stratified Group

    Subsequent treatment sequences by age-stratified groups (0 to <6 years old, 6 to <10 years old, and 10 to <18 years old on the index date) will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  12. Cumulative Persistence Rates for Biologic Drugs

    Cumulative persistence rates for biologic drugs is defined as continuous use of the same biologic drug without a pre-defined biologic free interval (that is, 90 days or more) between prescription claims.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  13. Time to Discontinuation

    Discontinuation (non-persistence) will be defined as experiencing one of the following cases: stop: a case where biologic drug was prescribed with a gap of greater than or equal to (>=) 90 days from the discontinuation date of the previous prescription OR no further biologic drug was prescribed until the end of study period from the discontinuation date of the index drug; switch: a case where a different biologic drug was prescribed after the initial drug; re-initiation: a case where the same biologic drug was prescribed again after >=90 days.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  14. Number of Hospitalizations

    Number of hospitalizations both overall and by age groups will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  15. Length of Hospitalization

    Length of hospitalization both overall and by age groups will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  16. Number of Emergency Department (ED) Visit

    Number of ED visits both overall and by age groups will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  17. Number of Outpatient Visits

    Number of outpatient visits both overall and by age groups will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  18. Number of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Related Surgeries

    Number of IBD related surgeries both overall and by age groups will be reported.

    Measured: From index date to follow-up (Up to 13 years)

  19. Number of Inpatient and Outpatient Visits to Non-Gastroenterology (GI) Departments

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Crude and Age-Adjusted Annual Incidence in Pediatric Crohn's Disease (CD) (time frame: During the index period (2012 to 2023; up to 12 years)). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Nov 2026.
