*Values are presented as N (%) unless otherwise indicated. Percentages may not sum to 100% because of missing data (n=2 for pension/benefit, n=2 for level of health, n=3 for number of acute exacerbations).
†‘Active disease’ is mild, moderate, and/or severe UC.
‡p Values for the comparison of remission and active disease.
§p Values for the comparison of mild and moderate/severe disease.
IBDQ, inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire; UC, ulcerative colitis.
