In the years 2015 and 2016, U.S. adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) used significantly more health services than their non-IBD counterparts, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
For the study, Emily P. Terlizzi, MPH, and colleagues compared healthcare usage for persons age 18 and older with and without IBD based on the 2015 and 2016 National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS). The results relied on self-reported data for a total of 66,610 sampled respondents.

City Lights, the first all-paperback bookshop in the US, was established in 1953 as a forum for political dissidence and poetic debate.
