Over 50% of Crohn’s Patients Claim To Have Had Surgery










Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) July 25, 2006

Recently, CrohnsHelp.com surveyed their newsletter list of 1,000+ subscribers with general questions regarding the severity of their Crohn’s Disease. The results were interesting and some responses were quite shocking.

For example, it was found that over 50% of the respondents claimed to have had surgery as a direct result of Crohn’s Disease. Over 45% said to have been to the hospital more than 4 times because of Crohn’s Disease. Over 37% said that they have more than 4 flare-up attacks a year.

The exact questions asked were:

Question 1: How severe is you Crohn’s Disease?

Question 2: How many times have you been to the hospital because of your Crohn’s Disease?

Question 3: How many flare up attacks do you have every year?

Question 4: Which of the following symptoms do you have?

Question 5: Have you ever had surgery because of Crohn’s Disease?

Question 6: have you ever had or have an iliostomy or colostomy bag?

    Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
