Summary: | Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are diseases that cause a significant impact on patients' quality of life.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out at Torrecárdenas Hospital (Almería). Patients over 14 years of age diagnosed with CD or UC were included.
For the assessment of HRQoL, the reduced 9-item IBDQ-9 questionnaire was used.
106 patients with a mean age of 44 years were included, with a female predominance. Forty-five percent of the patients in the sample had UC compared to 55% with CD. Of the patients, 69.8% were in clinical remission.
The median questionnaire score was 60.8 points out of 100.
Statistically significant differences were observed between sexes, with worse HRQoL for females. No differences were observed between patients with UC and CD. Differences were also detected between patients who underwent surgery and those who did not.
A negative association was observed between the number of flares and the questionnaire score.
In our study population, there is an acceptable HRQoL, with no differences observed between CD and UC.
Female sex, absence of clinical remission, number of previous outbreaks, and surgery have a negative association with HRQoL.
La colitis ulcerosa (CU) y la enfermedad de Crohn (EC) son enfermedades que ocasionan un importante impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la repercusión que tiene la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS).
Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, llevado a cabo en el Hospital Torrecárdenas (Almería). Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 14 años diagnosticados de EC o CU.
Para la evaluación de la CVRS, se utilizó el cuestionario reducido de 9 ítems IBDQ-9.
Se incluyeron 106 pacientes con una edad media de 44 años, con un predominio femenino. El 45% de los pacientes de la muestra padecían CU frente al 55% con EC. El 69.8% de los pacientes estaban en remisión clínica.
La mediana de puntuación del cuestionario fue de 60.8 puntos expresada sobre 100.
Se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre sexos, con peor CVRS para el femenino. No se apreciaron diferencias entre los pacientes con CU y con EC. También se detectaron diferencias entre los pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente y los que no.
