Determinants of health-related quality of life in Crohn's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: HRQOL of adult CD patients is consistently determined by markers of active disease, including work disability, increased disease activity, number of relapses, biological treatment and hospitalization rate. As disease activity contributed to only 37% of HRQOL, there remains a need for additional, possibly modifiable, determinants. These determinants may refine possibilities to improve HRQOL.

“…It is known that poor HRQOL is associated with active disease [3, 5, 23, 27-29], which was also apparent in this study. HRQOL improved significantly once treatment was initiated, suggesting that improvements in HRQOL were related to reduced symptoms of active disease.…”

“…The determinants of HRQOL are varied and may include disease treatments, disease activity, and hospitalization [3]. Drug treatments affect HRQOL of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) variably.…”

“…This accumulation is suspected to progressively impair the intestinal function and the quality of life. [8] Active chronic UC can also induce a loss of colonic function [2] and an increased risk of colonic cancer. [9] Our definition of mild CD and UC also excluded the requirement of IM or anti-TNF in the course of the disease because they are usually associated with a worsening of the disease and with an increased incidence of infectious [10][11][12] and oncologic complications.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that HRQOL is significantly impaired by work disability (2,3,17,42) . The work disability rates of IBD patients range between 1.3% and 34% (45) . The frequent flares requiring hospitalization or surgical intervention often leads to sick leave and disability pensions (2,3,4,6,20,44) , which may be the main reason for the decreased career fulfillment in IBD patients.…”
