Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fatigue is prevalent in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and has been associated with IBD activity, sleep quality, depression, and anxiety. This study aimed to identify fatigue profiles or clusters through latent profile analysis. METHODS An online questionnaire was administered through three tertiary IBD centres, social media and through Crohn's Colitis Australia. Fatigue was assessed via the Functional assessment of chronic illness measurement system fatigue subscale (FACIT-F), a validated assessment of fatigue and its severity. Validated measures of anxiety, depression, IBD activity and sleep quality were also included. Latent profile analysis was performed including fatigue, sleep quality, active IBD, and depression and anxiety. The relationships between profiles and IBD and demographic data were investigated. RESULTS In a cohort of 535 respondents, 77% were female, the median age was 41 years (range 32-52 years), and the majority had Crohn's disease (62%). Severe fatigue was seen in 62%. Latent profile analysis identified four distinct profiles differing by fatigue score - low fatigue, at-risk profile, active IBD, and a poor mental health profile. Female gender, obesity and opioid usage were associated with higher risk of being in the active IBD and poor mental health profile. Age over 40 was associated with lower risk of being in the poor mental health profile. CONCLUSION Latent profile analysis identifies four classes of fatigue in an IBD cohort with associations with specific risk factors for fatigue along with specific IBD and demographic attributes. This has implications for the classification of fatigue in IBD and treatment algorithms.

Patient Prefer Adherence 2024; 18:905-916.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management is typified by a long-term medication regimen which can comprise multiple medications prescribed in different combinations, doses, frequencies, and with various administration routes. This complexity can make medication adherence (MA) - patients taking their medications per the prescription - for patients with IBD a challenge. The research corpus contains diverse interventions aimed at improving MA in patients with IBD. Therefore, to condense the evidenced strategies for ease of reference, this narrative evidence-based review broadly outlines the patient-level interventions reported. The interventions are grouped as educational, behavioural, cognitive-behavioural, and multicomponent. They, however, present mixed results as to their efficacy at improving MA, with those employing combined approaches being the most promising. This reflects the reality that MA is impacted by multiple factors encompassing those pertaining to the patient, disease, therapy, patients' socioeconomic status, and health system. Hence, the most ideal interventions would likely be multifaceted patient-level interventions alongside policy/system-level strategies, to maximise the potential for successfully improving patients' MA. These findings might have been impacted by the heterogeneity of the studies in terms of the method of MA assessment, duration of interventions, and more besides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No previous study has investigated fatigue in older patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). AIMS To describe the prevalence of fatigue in older patients and compare it to the prevalence in younger patients with IBD, and to determine factors associated with fatigue. METHODS A prospective, multicenter cohort study, including older- (≥ 65 years) and younger patients with IBD (18-64 years). A geriatric assessment was performed in older patients to measure deficits in geriatric assessment (DiG). Fatigue was defined by one item from the short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire. Active disease was defined as the presence of clinical or biochemical disease activity. RESULTS Fatigue prevalence in the 405 older patients varied between 45.4% (71/155) in active disease to 23.6% (60/250) in remission. Fatigue prevalence in 155 younger patients was 59.5% (47/79) and 57.4% (89/155), respectively. Female sex, clinical disease activity, use of immunomodulators and presence of DiG were associated with fatigue in older patients with IBD. CONCLUSIONS Fatigue prevalence is lower in older patients with IBD compared to younger patients with IBD, but increases when active disease is present. Clinicians should be aware that fatigue is a relevant symptom in older patients with IBD, as it is associated with DiG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported low levels of physical activity (PA) in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), possibly related to a lack of information and support, despite the many recognized benefits such as cardiovascular prevention or quality of life (QoL) improvement. METHODS The purpose of our study was to identify challenges faced by patients and to evaluate IBD impact on PA and QoL by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form and the 32-item Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ-32) questionnaire, respectively. We also assessed the expectations and knowledge of patients and healthcare professionals using the MICI-Active questionnaire that we developed. RESULTS We included 298 IBD patients in 4 French hospitals, with a mean age of 38 years. We found a decrease in training frequency since IBD diagnosis, regardless of age, gender, symptom intensity, or type of disease. Moreover, there was an increase in low intensity activities like walking and a decrease in competitions and sports club registrations. Intensity of symptoms has a negative impact on QoL, as evidenced by the worsening of IBDQ score. Conversely, a higher PA intensity was correlated with a higher IBDQ score, regardless of symptoms intensity. The main barrier to PA was fatigue (56%), and the main fear was diarrhea (42%). Furthermore, 75% of patients did not feel sufficiently informed, and 61% were interested in coaching. A total of 112 healthcare professionals were interviewed, 62.5% said they had already discussed of PA with their patients, but 98% felt that they lacked knowledge. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory bowel disease constraints and symptoms have a strong impact on PA. Work needs to be done to better train practitioners to improve IBD patient management, who have much to gain from better PA.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Persian version of inflammatory bowel disease-fatigue (IBD-F) self-assessment questionnaire. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0288592. [PMID: 37478140 PMCID: PMC10361485 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0288592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study appraises the psychometrics properties of the Inflammatory bowel disease-fatigue (IBD-F) Persian version questionnaire. METHODS The original IBD-F questionnaire was translated into the Persian version in a standard forward-back manner. The validation was performed through the face, content, and construct validity. Fifteen experts scored each item's necessity on an ordinal Likert scale of three; then, the content validity ratio was calculated using the Lawshe formula. Eight judges from pre-defined panel rated each item on an ordinal 4-point Likert scale concerning its relevancy, clarity, and simplicity for individual-CVI calculation. The mean individual-CVI was considered as the Scale-CVI for each domain. Twenty lay experts (selected from the target population) were asked to express their opinion on each item's importance by scoring on a 5-point Likert scale; subsequently, face validity was determined by the impact score formula. The questions that had minimum values of CVR, CVI, and impact score were retained in the final version of the questionnaire for reliability evaluation. Construct validity was evaluated via Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were checked using Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Fifty-four patients recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria to participate in the reliability analysis. RESULTS All the questions received the qualified values of CVR (exceeding 0.49 points) and impact score (more than 1.5 points) and were retained in the questionnaire; however, revisions were made for questions with a CVI 0.7-0.9 for clarity and simplicity. The result demonstrated relative goodness CFA and proper internal consistency, as Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.964 for the test (0.845 and 0.963 for the first and second part of the questionnaire, respectively (and 0.888 for the re-test (0.793 and 0.876 for the first and second section of the questionnaire, respectively). The ICC values between test and re-test for the first and second part and the whole questionnaire were obtained as 0.904, 0.922, and 0.921, respectively. CONCLUSION The Persian version of the IBD-F questionnaire was valid and reliable; thus, an appropriate scale was deemed to measure fatigue (severity, frequency, and impact on daily activities).

Abstract
BACKGROUND STARDUST is a phase 3b randomized controlled trial comparing two ustekinumab treatment strategies in patients with Crohn's disease (CD): treat-to-target (T2T) versus standard of care (SoC). OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of a T2T or SoC ustekinumab treatment strategy on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI) over a 2-year follow-up period. METHODS At Week 16, adult patients with moderate-to-severe active CD were randomized 1:1 to either T2T or SoC treatment groups. We assessed changes from baseline in HRQoL measures (Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire [IBDQ], EuroQoL 5-dimension 5-level [visual analogue scale and index], Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety and -Depression) and the WPAI questionnaire in two patient populations: randomized analysis set (RAS, patients randomized to either T2T or SoC at Week 16 and completed Week 48) and modified RAS (mRAS, patients who entered the long-term extension [LTE] period at Week 48). RESULTS At Week 16, 440 patients were randomized to T2T (n = 219) or SoC (n = 221) arms; 366 patients completed Week 48. Of these, 323 patients entered the LTE and 258 patients completed 104 weeks of treatment. In the RAS population, percentages of patients achieving IBDQ response and remission were not significantly different between treatment arms at Weeks 16 and 48. In the overall mRAS population, IBDQ response and remission increased over time from Weeks 16-104. In both populations, improvements from baseline in all HRQoL measurements were observed at Week 16 and maintained until either Week 48 or Week 104, respectively. In both populations, improvements from baseline in T2T and SoC arms at Weeks 16, 48 or 104 in WPAI domains were observed. CONCLUSION Independent of treatment strategy (T2T or SoC), ustekinumab was effective in improving HRQoL measurements and WPAI over a period of 2 years.

Abstract
Although fatigue is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it often goes unrecognized and untreated. We investigated the degree of fatigue and associated factors in patients with IBD. A multicenter study involving 147 IBD patients was conducted at five academic hospitals from August 2019 to December 2021. Fatigue was evaluated using the validated Korean version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-K). Among 97 ulcerative colitis patients and 50 Crohn's disease patients, the mean total MFI-K score was 59.0 ± 5.5, which corresponded to a moderate-to-severe level of fatigue. Moderate-to-severe disease activity was found to be significantly associated with a higher general and physical fatigue subscale MFI-K score compared to remission-to-mild disease activity (17.6 ± 1.7 vs. 16.7 ± 2.0, p = 0.009), while the use of biologics was associated with a lower total MFI-K score (57.3 ± 5.0 vs. 59.5 ± 5.5, p = 0.031). In multiple linear regression, the total MFI-K score was positively correlated with a history of surgery for IBD, while it was negatively correlated with the use of biologics. Depression was positively correlated with the reduced motivation subscale score. The degree of fatigue in patients with IBD was high. Disease activity, the use of biologics, a history of surgery for IBD, and depression were associated with fatigue.

Fatigue Is Associated with Anxiety and Lower Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Remission. Medicina (B Aires) 2023; 59:medicina59030532. [PMID: 36984533 PMCID: PMC10058711 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59030532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions with an unpredictable course and a remitting–relapsing evolution. Fatigue is a frequent complaint in patients with IBD, affecting approximately half of the newly diagnosed patients with IBD. The aim of this study was to analyze fatigue in patients with IBD in remission. Materials and Methods: One hundred nineteen consecutive outpatients diagnosed with IBD for over 3 months that were in corticosteroid-free clinical and biochemical remission at the time of assessment were included in this cross-sectional study. Out of them, 72 (60.5%) were male; the median age was 39 years (IQR 30–47). Seventy-seven patients (64.7%) were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and forty-two (35.3%) with ulcerative colitis, with a median disease duration of 6 years (IQR 2–10). Fatigue, health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), anxiety and depression were evaluated using the following self-administered questionnaires: FACIT Fatigue, IBDQ 32 and HADS. Results: The mean FACIT-Fatigue score was 41.6 (SD ± 8.62), and 38.7% of patients were revealed as experiencing fatigue when a cut-off value of 40 points was used. The mean IBDQ 32 score was 189.4 (SD ± 24.1). Symptoms of anxiety and depression were detected in 37% and 21% of the patients, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, fatigue was significantly associated with lower HR-QoL (OR 2.21, 95% CI: 1.42–3.44, p < 0.001), symptoms of anxiety (OR 5.04, 95% CI: 1.20–21.22, p = 0.008), female sex (OR 3.32, 95% CI: 1.02–10.76, p = 0.04) and longer disease duration (OR 1.13, 95% CI: 1.01–1.27, p = 0.04). Conclusions: Fatigue is highly prevalent even in patients with inactive IBD and is correlated with lower HR-QoL and anxiety, as well as with clinical factors such as longer disease duration and female sex.

Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 20:995-1009.e7. [PMID: 34216824 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2021.06.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2021] [Revised: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing and remitting disease with high morbidity, substantial health care costs, and increasing incidence. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms that impacts quality of life and is a leading concern for patients with IBD. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence, risk factors, and impact of fatigue in adults with IBD. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Data were retrieved from Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO from database inception to October 2019. A pooled prevalence of fatigue was calculated using a random-effects model. Stratified meta-analyses explored sources of between-study heterogeneity. Study quality was assessed using an adapted checklist from Downs and Black. RESULTS The search yielded 4524 studies, of which 20 studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Overall, the studies were of good quality. The pooled prevalence of fatigue was 47% (95% confidence interval, 41%-54%), though between-study heterogeneity was high (I2 = 98%). Fatigue prevalence varied significantly by the definition of fatigue (chronic: 28%; high: 48%; P < .01) and disease status (active disease: 72%; remission: 47%; P < .01). Sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, and anemia were the most commonly reported fatigue-related risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of fatigue in adults with IBD is high, emphasizing the importance of additional efforts to manage fatigue to improve the care and quality of life for patients with IBD.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) report fatigue more frequently than healthy population, but the precise mechanisms underlying its presence are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of fatigue in IBD and its relation with potential causative factors. A survey on fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and the presence of sarcopenia and malnutrition, was sent by email to 244 IBD outpatients of the Gastroenterology Unit of Academic Hospital of Padua. Demographics and clinical data, including the levels of fecal calprotectin (FC) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and current pharmacological treatments were obtained from patients' medical records. Ninety-nine (40.5%) subjects answered the survey. Ninety-two (92.9%) patients reported fatigue, with sixty-six having mild to moderate fatigue and twenty-six severe fatigue. Multivariate analysis showed that abnormal values of CRP (OR 5.1), severe anxiety (OR 3.7) and sarcopenia (OR 4.4) were the factors independently associated with severe fatigue. Fatigue has a high prevalence in subject affected by IBD. Subjects with altered CRP, sarcopenia and severe anxiety appear more at risk of severe fatigue.

[PMID: 33776374 PMCID: PMC7985735 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v27.i11.1076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Revised: 01/14/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatigue is a very common but relatively neglected problem in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The prevalence rate of IBD in China is the highest in Asia, but there is little research on fatigue in patients with IBD. Neither the relationship between fatigue and quality of life (QoL) nor the relationship between fatigue and work productivity (WP) in Chinese IBD patients has been reported.
AIM To investigate the prevalence of fatigue related to IBD in Eastern China, to identify the risk factors associated with fatigue, to assess the impact of fatigue on QoL, and to evaluate the relationship between fatigue and WP.
METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in a Regional Tertiary IBD Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Eastern China. Clinical data of patients were collected, and disease activity was evaluated. Blood samples were analyzed to assess anemia, albumin, and inflammation. Fatigue was assessed using the multidimensional fatigue inventory. QoL and WP were measured using the short inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire and the work productivity and activity impairment general health questionnaire, respectively. The patients also completed assessments of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale).
RESULTS A total of 311 IBD patients, comprising 168 Crohn's disease patients and 143 ulcerative colitis patients, were enrolled. The prevalence of fatigue in patients with IBD was 60.77%. In a univariate logistic regression analysis, factors such as disease activity, depression, anxiety, anemia, and IBD-related surgery were individually related to a significantly increased risk of fatigue in IBD patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that depression [odds ratio (OR) = 8.078, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.113-15.865], anxiety (OR = 2.373, 95%CI: 1.100-5.119), anemia (OR = 2.498, 95%CI: 1.290-4.834), and IBD-related surgery (OR = 2.035, 95%CI: 1.084-3.819) were related to fatigue in IBD patients. There was a negative correlation between fatigue and QoL (r = -0.831; P < 0.0001) but a positive correlation between fatigue and WP loss.
CONCLUSION The prevalence of fatigue in IBD patients in Eastern China is remarkably high even in clinical remission. Factors such as depression, anxiety, anemia, and IBD-related surgery are major risk factors for fatigue in IBD patients. In addition, fatigue has a negative impact on QoL and is positively correlated with WP loss.

Abstract
Introduction and Objective Despite the known benefits of physical activity in the management of chronic diseases, the use of exercise as a treatment is relatively underemployed, with many patients reporting their disease to be a barrier. This study aimed to assess physical activity levels, attitudes, and barriers towards exercise in a cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In addition, this study aimed to assess possible relationships between physical well-being, psychological well-being, and sociodemographic factors. Methods 306 patients >18 years with diagnosed IBD in Dunedin, New Zealand, were approached to participate in this study. Participants who consented completed questionnaires regarding exercise preferences and attitudes, physical activity levels, and psychological well-being. Results Seventy-seven patients participated in the study (77/308 = 25%). Sixty-six percent of participants met physical activity guidelines and the median metabolic equivalent minutes/week of 1,027.5 (505.5-2,339.5). Walking was the most preferred activity (30%) followed by water-based exercise (20%). Two-thirds of participants reported their disease limited the amount of physical activity undertaken. Common barriers to participating in physical activity included fatigue (34%) and abdominal pain (20%). Patients with active disease reported higher levels of barriers than those in remission (80 vs. 54%, p = 0.018). Higher physical activity levels were correlated with lower levels of fatigue (p = 0.022-0.046). Conclusions While patients with IBD in Dunedin, New Zealand, are physically active, reducing real and perceived barriers is crucial to further increase physical activity in patients with IBD who are in remission or with active disease.

Abstract
Adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) search for self-management strategies to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life (QOL). Physical activity (PA) is one of the self-management strategies widely adopted by adults with IBD. This integrative review aimed to synthesize the evidence on health outcomes of PA in adults with IBD as well as to identify the barriers to engaging in PA. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), published literature was searched to identify the articles that addressed PA in adults with IBD. Twenty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria. Many of the reviewed studies used the terms of PA and exercise interchangeably. Walking was the most common PA reported in the studies. The findings from the majority of the reviewed studies supported the benefits of moderate-intensity exercise/PA among adults with IBD. The reviewed studies noted the following positive health outcomes of PA: improvement in QOL, mental health, sleep quality, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue and cardiorespiratory fitness. More importantly, participation in PA reduced the risk for development of IBD and the risk for future active disease. The findings from the reviewed studies highlighted the following barriers to engage in PA: fatigue, joint pain, abdominal pain, bowel urgency, active disease and depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease poses substantial challenges to travel. We aimed to investigate inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)-associated challenges to travel, information-seeking behaviour and associated factors. METHODS We collected data on patients' demographics, disease characteristics, travel barriers, information-seeking behaviour and travel outcomes in UK, Australia, New Zealand and Israel (2016-2018). Summary statistics were used to describe the sample, whereas multivariate binary and nominal logistic regression were used to model the outcome variables. RESULTS Almost 75.4% (1878/2491) participants' data were analysed with 71.14%, 15.4%, 11.2% and 2.1% from UK, Australia, NZ and Israel, respectively (76.3% females, 48.2% 30-49 years old 58.8% Crohn's disease). About 7.7% of study participants sought medical advice/were hospitalised while overseas. About 43.8% cancelled/changed their plans due to IBD. The most common barriers were worry about toilet facilities (76.3%), cleanliness/sanitation (50.9%) and availability of medical care (41.1%). Only 60.5% sought travel advice; the most popular information source was IBD doctor/nurse (32.6%). Almost 32.6% of study participants did not get travel insurance that covered their IBD. Those who did not receive advice or found obtaining travel insurance difficult, were less likely to obtain travel insurance (P < 0.001). Participants who travelled for work were more likely to be hospitalised/seek medical advice overseas and not obtain travel insurance. CONCLUSIONS We report a detailed investigation on the IBD-associated barriers while travelling abroad, common information-seeking behaviours and factors associated with worse outcomes. Importantly, patients from all the surveyed countries provided similar travel barrier and preparation habits, highlighting the consistent nature of the challenge.
