Résumé

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a growing global health challenge affecting more than 7 million people worldwide. With increasing prevalence across all age groups, including children and adolescents, IBD places substantial strain on health-care systems and society, resulting in high direct medical costs, lost productivity and reduced quality of life. Despite therapeutic advances, suboptimal disease control and delays in timely diagnosis and adequate treatment persist. Regional disparities in health-care access contribute to these challenges, especially in low-income countries. Addressing these inequities is crucial for improving global IBD outcomes. Using a Delphi methodology, experts from clinical care, research, public health and advocacy (including patient representation) identified priorities across six domains (37 statements in total): epidemiology, care models, treatment strategies, education and awareness, patient and community engagement, and leadership to promote health equity. These priorities emphasize quantifying the burden of IBD, addressing health-care disparities, validating care models, exploring novel treatments, advancing education, engaging patients and advocating for health equity policies. The comprehensive approach seeks to optimize care models, promote patient engagement and ensure equitable access to health care. The identified priorities serve as a guide for both clinical and non-clinical researchers, and funders dedicated to IBD-related initiatives, fostering international collaboration to improve IBD management and reduce its impact globally.
