Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) significantly impact the lives of patients. The European Federation of ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Associations (EFCCA) undertook a pan-European patient survey assessing the perspectives of IBD patients about their disease and its impact on their lives, relationships and careers. The project has been supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Abbott.
