Multicenter study identifies predictors of fatigue in IBD patients, suggesting psychological factors play a key role.

To identify predictors and patterns of fatigue in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission.
Conducted a multicenter, cross-sectional study of 295 adult IBD patients in deep remission.
Collected data on clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and nutritional markers.
Used patient-reported outcomes to measure fatigue and psychological distress.
Performed univariate analysis to explore associations with fatigue severity and multivariate regression to identify predictors.
30% of patients reported fatigue, with significant associations found with psychological distress and impaired quality of life.
Iron deficiency was present in 35%, while 24% were anemic and deficiencies in other vitamins were noted.
Elevated psychological distress was found in 30% of patients, correlating with higher fatigue scores and lower quality of life.
A composite score using thresholds for psychological distress and quality of life significantly predicted fatigue risk.

Palmisano et al. (2026) studied this question.
