Cross-sectional study quantifies fatigue in IBD patients, revealing links to mood disorders and quality of life.

The study aimed to quantify fatigue in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and assess its association with mood disorders and quality of life.
Conducted a cross-sectional study at a tertiary center involving adult IBD patients.
Participants completed four validated questionnaires assessing fatigue, disease control, and psychological distress.
Multivariate regression analysis identified independent predictors of fatigue.
Severe fatigue reported in 46% of participants.
Independent predictors of fatigue include depressive symptoms (β = −1.03, P < 0.0001) and lower quality of life (β = 0.23, P = 0.0006).
Even in well-controlled disease, fatigue remained linked to psychological distress and impaired quality of life.

Chen et al. (2026) studied this question.
