Abstract

BACKGROUND: The importance of fatigue in chronic disease has been increasingly recognized; however, little is known about fatigue in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of fatigue and the impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients included in a population-based IBD cohort in the Netherlands. METHODS: IBD patients, diagnosed between January 1st, 1991, and January 1st, 2003, were followed up for a median of 7.1 years. They completed a questionnaire, which included a disease activity score, the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), and the Short Form health survey (SF-36). Hemoglobin levels were recorded. RESULTS: Data were available in 304 Crohn's disease (CD), 368 ulcerative colitis (UC), and 35 indeterminate colitis (IC) patients. During quiescent disease, the prevalence of fatigue was nearly 40%. MFI-20 and HRQoL scores were significantly worse in IBD patients having active disease. In a multivariate analysis, disease activity was positively related with the level of fatigue in both CD and UC. In UC, anemia influenced the general fatigue score independently of disease activity. Disease activity as well as fatigue were independently associated with an impaired IBDQ. CONCLUSIONS: In IBD, even in remission, fatigue is an important feature. Both in CD and in UC, fatigue determined HRQoL independently of disease activity or anemia. This implies that in IBD patients physicians need to be aware of fatigue in order to better understand its impact and to improve the HRQoL.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
