Abstract


Aim: To establish the profile of patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated at the Gastroenterology outpatient clinic of the Teaching Hospital of the Federal University of Pelotas. Methods: Cross-sectional study in which patients were selected from a convenience sample. Patients treated at the outpatient clinic from January from 2018 to July 2019 were included. Data collection was performed through the review of medical records. Results: sixty-eight (68) patients were evaluated, 63% of whom were women, with an average age of 43 years. Fifty-six 56% of patients had Crohn's disease and 44% Ulcerative Rectocolitis. In Crohn's disease the most common involvement was ileocolonic (46%) and in Ulcerative Rectocolitis it was extensive colitis (56%). Crohn's disease patients were the ones who most hospitalized 64% and underwent surgical procedures 5.8 times more than Ulcerative Rectocolitis patients. An increased prevalence of psychiatric diseases was observed, affecting approximately one third of patients with Ulcerative Rectocolitis and around one fifth among patients with Crohn's Disease. In the treatment there was a predominance of the use of salicylates in Ulcerative Rectocolitis and immunosuppressants and immunobiologicals in Crohn's Disease. Conclusion: The profile of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases at the outpatient clinic of Federal University of Pelotas is similar to that found in the literature.
