IBD and health-related quality of life — Discovering the true impact
October, 2014
Although inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) significantly impact the patient's quality of life, no European-level data exists on patients’ perspectives. The primary objective of this survey was to obtain an international perspective of the impact of IBD on patients’ lives. Secondary objectives included obtaining a better understanding of the quality of care, access to care, and differences between countries, age groups, and sub-groups of IBD.
