*Effect size (ES)=Mean difference divided by the SD of the baseline absolute scores for the group.

†Standardised response mean (SRM)=Mean difference divided by SD of the difference for the group.

‡Modified SRM (MSRM)=Mean difference for the group divided by SD of the difference for unchanged patients.

IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; QoL, quality of life.
