Cross-sectional study reveals significant association between fatigue and sleep disorders in IBD, suggesting need for systematic assessment.

The study aims to investigate fatigue and sleep disturbances in patients with inflammatory bowel disease during clinical and biochemical remission.
Cross-sectional observational study design
Included patients with IBD in clinical and biochemical remission
Administered questionnaires for fatigue, sleep quality, anxiety, physical activity, and quality of life
Utilized logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of fatigue
Calculated Pearson correlation to explore relationships between variables
54% of patients reported fatigue during remission
Fatigued patients had significantly worse sleep quality scores (PSQI > 5) than non-fatigued patients (69% vs 33%)
Higher PSQI scores linked to specific sleep issues: increased sleep latency, shorter sleep duration, poor sleep efficiency, and greater daytime dysfunction
Independent predictors of fatigue included poor sleep quality and higher anxiety levels
Negative correlation found between fatigue and sleep quality (r=-0.494), positive correlation with quality of life impairment (r=0.641)

Onnis et al. (2026) studied this question.
