Read the detailed description

This study is a retrospective nationwide study of all patients in Sweden with diagnosis CD between 1987 and 2013 were baseline data at diagnosis, information about the different treatments and follow-up data is going to be obtained by reviewing patients' medical journals. This information as well as the exact diagnose criteria for each patient are going to be extracted by Endocrinologists in all University Hospitals in Sweden. An expert group at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg will put together the data.By the use of the Swedish Personal Number, the investigators are going to obtain information about both patients' and background population co-morbidities which have been collected in the different Swedish Registers.

  1. To study the influence of CD on myocardial infarction
  2. To study the influence of CD on stroke
