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: This study adds to the growing evidence that psychological factors contribute to IBD symptom flares by finding no support for differential rates of use of NSAIDS, antibiotics, or for the occurrence of (non-enteric) infections related to I BD flares.

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.
