QUALITY OF LIFE IN CROHN'S DISEASE XXXX .

@entity1 @entity30
The aim of the study is to assess the impact of @entity30 ( @entity30 ) on quality of life (QoL) @entity1 with and to identify the significant modifications in QoL, depending on both the development particularities of @entity30 and the epidemiologic parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS: a prospective study was conducted at the Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepathology Ia  i, between October 2011 and August 2014. The study enrolled 63 @entity1 with @entity30 . The @entity30 diagnosis was based on clinical, biological, endoscopic and histological criteria. QoL was assessed by means of the IBDQ-32 questionnaire (Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire). RESULTS: The total IBDQ score varied from 70 to 200, registering a slightly higher value in female @entity1 . Parameters such as age, sex and smoking/non-smoking status did not present significant differences in the IBDQ score. The values of the IBDQ score were in indirect, mild correlation with the CDAI score; over 49% of the subjects with higher CDAI had a lower IBDQ score. CONCLUSIONS: Except for the disease activity periods, the results of the studies investigating the impact of the various factors on the QoL in @entity1 with @entity30 are contradictory. Further research is needed in order to define the subgroups of @entity1 likely to suffer from poorer QoL.
