Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the IBD-BOOST self-management intervention for managing fatigue, pain, and faecal incontinence in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Conducted a national survey to identify participants with significant symptoms.
Developed and tested a facilitator-supported digital self-management program.
Conducted a multi-centre, two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial.
Measured primary outcomes using the UK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire and global rating of symptom relief at 6 months.
Performed a cost-effectiveness analysis.
No statistically significant differences observed between intervention and control groups for primary outcomes at 6 months.
Positive trends in symptom relief noted, with better outcomes for compliant participants.
Intervention analyzed showed high probability (>90%) of being cost-effective.
Average cost savings estimated at -£28,633 to -£33,568 per quality-adjusted life year gained.
