Unmet needs in adult patients with ulcerative colitis in Spain: a real-world Adelphi Disease Specific Programme study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by chronic inflammation of the colonic mucosal lining.

Objectives

This study aimed to examine unmet needs among patients with UC in Spain.

Design

Data were analyzed from the Adelphi Real World IBD Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey of physicians and patients with IBD in Spain between October 2020 and March 2021.

Methods

Physicians reported patient clinical characteristics, disease severity, treatment patterns and satisfaction, symptoms, and flare and remission status. Patients were then invited to voluntarily self-complete a form reporting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity/activity impairment. Analyses were descriptive.
