- Study analyzes real-world treatment patterns in IBD (UC and CD) over 10 years post-diagnosis using Danish nationwide registers.
- Key findings: 10-year cumulative use of immunomodulators/advanced therapies was 37.0% in UC and 74.9% in CD.
- Advanced therapies dominate long-term treatment in CD, while 5-ASA remains mainstay for UC.
- Corticosteroid use in UC and 5-ASA in CD declined recently; advanced therapies increased in both.
- Advanced therapy use decreases with older age at diagnosis.
- By year 10, ~50% of patients (UC: 43.8%, CD: 50.8%) received no medication.
