In 2010 a joint project of BAPES and the Bulgarian Society of Gastroenterology, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Abdominal Echography on National registry of Crohn disease patients has been officially started. In October 2010 a pilot study collected epidemiological information for 109 patients. These results were discussed on a meeting of the gastroenterology expert board in June 2011. The National registry itself will start later this year by collecting epidemiological data from all over Bulgaria. To see the results of the project so far, please check “Registries and Statistics” section of our website.
