Abstract

Bowel urgency is a multidimensional clinical construct with physiological, psychological, and behavioral components. Its systematic assessment should become a routine element of IBD care and a standardized endpoint in clinical trials. Developing and validating a multidimensional, IBD-specific urgency measure would bridge symptom monitoring and patient-centered outcomes.
