Fig. 3. — Influence of abdominal stoma on quality of life (QUOL). (A) 9.17% (UC) to 16.45% (CD) of the IBD patients in our cohort have or had a stoma application during their course of disease. (B) QUOL of CD patients can be improved by stoma application, while this procedure does not show an effect on QUOL in UC patients in our cohort. 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<0.05. UC, ulcerative colitis; CD, Crohn’s disease; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease.
