Geographic and Temporal Patterns in Biologic Prescriptions for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in the Public Healthcare System in Brazil: An Ecological Study

Biologic prescriptions in Brazil are experiencing temporal and geographical changes, indicating that disparities in drug prescriptions may decrease with universal, equitable healthcare access, despite administrative challenges in obtaining these medications through SUS.
