Abstrakt: Despite the institution of an interdisciplinary Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) centre is encouraged, how it may improve patient care is still unknown. In a 5-year period following organisation of an IBD centre, hospitalisations per patient/year decreased (0.41-0.17) and patients on biologics increased (7.7%-26.7%). Total number of hospitalisations (-18.4%) and length of hospitalisation (-29.4%) improved compared with a preceding 5-year period. These findings suggest that institution of an interdisciplinary IBD centre is associated with improved healthcare utilisation.
