Psychosocial determinants of relapse in ulcerative colitis: A longitudinal study
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between psychosocial characteristics and time to relapse in patients with inactive ulcerative colitis. METHODS: Sixty patients with clinically and endoscopically inactive ulcerative colitis were followed for 1 yr, or less if they relapsed. Demographic, psychosocial, and clinical data were obtained. Stressful life events (Psychiatric Epidemiology Research Interview Life Events Scale), psychological distress (Symptom Checklist-90R), and perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale) were recorded monthly by self-report. Multivariate time-dependent Cox regression was used to identify the independent determinants of earlier time to clinical relapse. RESULTS: The patients' mean age was 39 yr (SD = 9.4), 37 (62%) were female, and 22 (37%) relapsed during the 1-yr follow-up. Univariate Cox regression indicated a weak association between number of stressful events in the preceding month and time to relapse (p = 0.09). This association strengthened in multivariate analysis (p = 0.02, hazard ratio = 1.26 per event, 95% CI = 1.04-1.53) after adjustment for significant covariates. CONCLUSIONS: After controlling for demographic and clinical variables, more recent stressful events were associated with earlier time to relapse. These findings, which support a biopsychosocial model of disease, might help clinicians identify patients who might benefit from more intensive maintenance medical therapy and behavioral medicine interventions to reduce stress and improve coping.

Stress is associated with disease activity and severity in IBD.
“Growing evidence suggests that stress—in particular—is associated with disease activity and severity while conflicting evidence suggests that stress may also be involved in the initial development of IBD [9,15].”
Comorbid psychological difficulties in IBD are associated with disease activity, flares, treatment response, and the necessity of surgical intervention.
“Indeed, comorbid psychological difficulties are associated with disease activity, flares, treatment response, and the necessity of surgical intervention [2,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15].”
The ACT intervention protocol was informed by previous research employing ACT for IBD and single-session ACT interventions.
“The ACT intervention protocol was developed by the first and last authors and was informed by previous research employing ACT for IBD and single-session ACT interventions [9,34,35,37,70].”

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.
