Abstract Background The quality of sleep is a major determinant of quality of life, which has become a therapeutic target in the management of Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). The relationship between IBD and sleep disorders is still unclear. Although poor quality sleep is believed to be strongly linked to disruptions to clinical disease activity, IBD patients are reported to experience sleep disturbance even when the disease is clinically inactive. The objective of this work was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of sleep disorders as well as their impact on the quality of life of patients with IBD. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study, including all patients followed for IBD, who presented to our consultation during the three months preceding our study. The quality of sleep was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The quality of sleep is impaired when the PSQI score> 5. The activity of Crohn’s disease (CD) was evaluated by the Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI), that of ulcerative colitis (UC), by the Clinical Mayo score. Quality of life was assessed by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (S-IBDQ). Results We included 100 patients, mean age 42.18 ± 15.71 years with a predominance of men (sex ratio M / F = 1.5). The mean course of IBD was 9.02 ± 6.57 years. Sixty eight patients (68%) had CD, the location was ileal in 32 patients (47%), ileocolonic in 22 patients (32.4%), and colonic in 14 cases (20.6%). Ano-perineal manifestations were present in 38.2% of cases. Severe disease activity was noted in 14 patients (20.6%). Thirty two patients (32%) had UC. Pancolitic involvement was noted in 14 patients (43.7%) UC activity was severe in 10 patients (31.3%). The mean PSQI score was 8.2 ± 4.42. A PSQI score> 5 was noted in 68% of patients. There is a significant association between the PSQI score and disease activity in both patients with CD (p = 0.003) and those with UC (p = 0.026). The quality of sleep was altered in 44.4% of patients in remission vs. 81.25% of patients in relapse, with a statistically significant difference (p <0.001). There was a strong negative correlation between the PSQI score and the S-IBDQ (p <0.001, r = -0.61). Conclusion Our study showed that 68% of patients with IBD suffer from impaired quality of sleep. This disturbance was strongly correlated with the deterioration in the quality of life of these patients, requiring multidisciplinary management.

Abstract BackgroundTransition from pediatric to adult care of patients affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a critical step that needs specific care and multidisciplinary involvement. The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcome of the transition process of a cohort of IBD patients, exploring their readiness and the consequent impact on quality of life.MethodsThis observational study followed transitioned patients up for a minimum of 18 months after the beginning of transition process, from January 2014 to April 2019. Transition was carried-out through joint visits pediatricians and adult gastroenterologists. Clinical data before and after transition were collected. A subgroup of patients was submitted to an anonymous online questionnaire of 38 items drawn up based on the validated questionnaires TRAQ and SIBDQ within the first 6 months from the beginning of transition process.ResultsEighty-two patients with IBD were enrolled, with a mean age at transition of 20.2±2.7 years. Before transition, 40.2% of patients already had major surgery and 64.6% started biologics. At transition, 24% of patients were in moderate to severe active phase of their disease and 40% of them had already been treated with ≥ 2 biologics. The mean value of the TRAQ questionnaires was 3.4±0.5 and the mean score of SIBDQ was 53.9±9.8. A significant association was found between a TRAQ mean score > 3 and a SIBDQ > 50 (p=0.0129). Overall, 75% of patients had a positive opinion of the transition model adopted.ConclusionsA strong association has been found between TRAQ and SIBDQ questionnaires, showing how transition readiness has a direct impact on the quality of life of the young adult with IBD.

Abstract Background Chronic pain is a poorly managed symptom of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has an evidence-base in functional gastrointestinal conditions and chronic pain. We aimed to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 9-week online facilitator-supported CBT intervention, tailored for people with chronic IBD-related pain. Methods A single arm pre-post design with nested qualitative interviews was used with 20 individuals with IBD and chronic pain. Participants were recruited online through an IBD charity and had consented to research in a previous survey or responded to an online charity advert. Individuals who met the inclusion criteria e.g. reported a pain-interference score of ≥4/10 (Brief Pain Inventory) and had no indicators of acute causes of pain, were invited to take part. Faecal calprotectin was collected. Outcomes included recruitment and retention rates, pain interference and severity (Brief Pain Inventory), quality of life, psychosocial measures and self-reported disease activity (IBD-Control). Follow-up face to face or telephone interviews were conducted following the intervention to obtain feedback on sessions and tasks, facilitator support and areas for improvement. Results Of 145 survey respondents contacted, 55 (37.9%) responded. Two additional individuals were recruited from the study advertisement. 20/57 (35.1%) met screening and eligibility criteria. Twenty consented to the study and 60% of those returning a stool sample were in clinical remission (<250ug/g). One individual withdrew after Session 1, 17 (85%) engaged with intervention sessions and 11 (55%) completed at least 5/9 sessions. 16 (80%) of recruited participants completed the post-intervention questionnaire at week 9. Mean score for overall acceptability was 43.4 (0–70). No changes were observed for pain outcomes, but quality of life and pain self-efficacy increased following the intervention. Self-reported disease activity, depression, anxiety, pain catastrophising and avoidance resting behaviour decreased. Qualitative feedback demonstrated the value of particular elements of the intervention, such as thought monitoring and facilitator support. Some participants felt content was oversimplified and that further information was needed on practical management strategies, including diet. Conclusion Online CBT for chronic IBD-related pain appears feasible and acceptable. The results demonstrate positive effects for improving quality of life and reducing psychological distress, however online and face to face recruitment methods are recommended. To establish efficacy for reducing pain and improving quality of life, larger randomised controlled trials are required.
