Abstract

Background: To determine the health-related quality of life in patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as to evaluate differences according to sex, type of disease and other sociodemographic variables.

Method: Cross sectional study of 100 outpatients in the Digestive Service of the Navarre Hospital Complex.A questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical variables was used, as well as a version of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire-32 adapted to Spanish, in order to measure quality of life.

Results: The average score of the questionnaire on quality of life was 166 points (D.T.=40.06) out of a maximum of 232. Statistically significant differences were found according to type of disease (p=0.005)and sex (p=0.001).

Conclusions: People with Crohn disease or females perceive a worse quality of life related to health in comparison to patients with ulcerative colitis or men.
