Abstract

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) significantly impacts patient’s quality of life. This study aims to assess the long‐term quality of life and functional outcomes in IBD patients after surgical resection. Methods: In this multi‐centre observational study, 100 IBD patients (52% female, 48% male, mean age 40 years) who under went surgical resection were included. 70% had Crohn’s Disease and 30% had Ulcerative Colitis. Patients underwent either partial (65%) or total colectomy (35%). Quality of life and functional outcomes were assessed using the IBD‐Q questionnaire, the Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36) and the IBD Functional Rating Index (IBD‐FRI) at baseline, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post‐surgery. Immediate Outcomes: 20% of patients experienced postoperative complications. The average hospital stay was 8 days. Long‐Term Quality of Life: IBD‐Q scores improved significantly from baseline (4.2) to 6 months (5.8), 1 year (5.7) and 2 years (5.4) post‐surgery (p<0.005). Functional Outcomes: Improvements in SF‐36 and IBD‐FRI scores were significant at 1 and 2 years post‐surgery (p<0.05). Subgroup Analysis, Patients under 30 years and those with Crohn’s Disease showed greater improvements in quality‐of‐life and functional outcomes. Surgical resection in IBD patients leads to significant long‐term improvements in quality of life and functional outcomes. Younger patients and those with Crohn’s Disease tend to report greater benefits.
