Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) are significantly associated with a reduced quality of life (QUOL). (A) 35.93% (UC) to 55.47% (CD) of IBD patients suffer from active EIM. (B) QUOL is significantly reduced in patients with active EIM in both entities. The boxplot’s median is depicted using a horizontal black line. Cutoff of the score for the QUOL was 60 points in the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) and is depicted using a red line (≥60 normal QUOL, <60 moderately to severely reduced QUOL). A t-test was used for statistical analysis. aP<0.001. UC, ulcerative colitis; CD, Crohn’s disease; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease.
