TL;DR: Comparing IBD respondents with and without lifetime anxiety or mood disorder, those with a disorder reported lower quality of life and earlier onset of IBD symptoms and there was a trend toward earlier IBD diagnosis.

TL;DR: Multivariate regression showed that those with active IBD had higher levels of distress, health anxiety, and perceived stress, lower social support, well-being and mastery, and poorer disease-specific QOL, relative to those with inactive disease.

TL;DR: Predictors of adherence differed markedly between genders, although obstacles such as medication cost were relevant for both men and women.

TL;DR: Physical and psychological factors are associated with fatigue in IBD in addition to disease and sleep considerations in a population‐based IBD community sample, and both are still significant concerns for many with inactive disease.

TL;DR: Change in IBD QOL is influenced by one's longitudinal profile of disease activity, but change in psychological functioning is not, suggesting that disease has an impact even when patients are not experiencing active symptoms.
