The short inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire is reliable and responsive to clinically important change in ulcerative colitis

Abstract

This study contributes to the validation of the SIBDQ as a HRQoL tool in UC. It is reproducible and responsive to changes in disease activity.

Validation of interactive voice response system administration of the short inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire

“…Previously, thorough psychometric testing in patients with CD and UC has demonstrated the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the SIBDQ for both groups of patients as a measure of HrQoL, 4,5,8,21,22 with good discrimination between patients in remission and various degrees of relapse. Written self-administration of the questionnaire has also been shown not to affect the validity of the SIBDQ.…”

“…The IVRS-SIBDQ correlation with HBI was higher than a past study comparing SIBDQ with HBI (r ϭ 0.44) 8 ; its correlation with SCCAI was lower than a past study comparing SIBDQ with SCCAI (r ϭ 0.83). 21 Additionally, the test-retest reliability and the internal consistency of the IVRS-administered SIBDQ were very high, even with the small numbers of patients repeating the IVRS assessment. There is general agreement that the internal consistency of a questionnaire corresponds to a Cronbach's alpha greater than 0.85.…”

Does primary sclerosing cholangitis impact quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease?

“…18 The SIBDQ is a simple 10-point questionnaire that has been used in prior studies and is a validated measure of HRQoL in CD 18 and UC. 19,20 Briefly, the 10 questions are subdivided into bowel, systemic, emotional, and social domains with each question being answered on a Likert scale ranging from 1-7, with a total SIBDQ score between 10-70 (10, worst HRQoL, 70, best HRQoL). At our center each patient is encouraged to complete a SIBDQ at most of their outpatient clinic encounters.…”

“…Hamilton, Canada [30]. The SIBDQ [29,31], based on the original 32-item IBDQ, is a 10-item scale measuring bowel, systemic, social, and emotional aspects of living with IBD. It is responsive to changes in disease activity [31].…”
