BACKGROUND: Incidence rates of @entity3178 are mainly based on regional data from a limited number of countries. To evaluate geographical differences and changes over time, more nationwide incidence rates are needed. AIMS: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the incidence rate of @entity3178 in the Netherlands in a nationwide cohort. METHODS: A search was performed in the Dutch pathology registry, covering records of all approximately 16.5 million inhabitants. Incident cases were defined as a first diagnosis of @entity3178 (collagenous or @entity11162 ) between 2000 and 2012. RESULTS: In total, 7228 incident cases were identified with a mean annual incidence rate of 3.4 per 100,000 @entity1 years. @entity4143 was present in 3741 cases and @entity11162 in 2718 cases, with a mean annual incidence rate of 1.8 and 1.3 per 100,000 @entity1 years, respectively. Remaining 769 cases were described as undefined @entity3178 . Collagenous and @entity11162 incidence rates increased significantly over time (p<0.001) with a male:female ratio of 1:3 and 1:2, respectively. CONCLUSION: The Dutch mean annual incidence rates of collagenous and @entity11162 were considerably lower than previously reported by other countries. However, incidence rates increased gradually over time, with a clear female predominance.
