Abstract

Elderly IBD patients present with less complicated disease, but have similar or higher rates of surgery than non-elderly patients. Whether this reflects a non-benign disease course, physicians' reluctance to employ immunomodulators, or both, merits further study which is essential for improving the care of IBD in the elderly.
