Health-related quality of life correlates with clinical and endoscopic activity indexes but not with demographic features in patients with ulcerative colitis

Abstract

This study points out the strong relationship between CAI and EAI and all domains of HRQOL in patients with UC. Therefore, the IBDQ-D is a valid and reliable assessment tool that reflects changes in the health status of UC patients. It is a useful measure of therapeutic efficacy and should be used in clinical trials in IBD.
