Background
Ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) are associated with symptoms that lead to reduced quality of life and increased healthcare utilisation. The patient reported outcome (PRO) tools are key to documenting outcomes that matter most to patients and are increasingly important to commissioners of health care seeking value. We report the first series of the ICHOM Standard Set for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods
Patients treated for UC or CD in our tertiary referral centre are offered enrolment into the TrueColours IBD web-based PRO collection programme. This functions through email prompts, directly linked to validated questionnaires. Prompts for symptoms (daily SCCAI for UC and HBI for CD); quality of life (fortnightly IBD-Control); and other outcomes (baseline and 3 monthly ICHOM Standard Set), including data on steroid use, hospital admission and other measures through internationally agreed criteria.
Results
The first 500 consecutive patients enrolled (401 UC, 99 CD) were studied. 274 (55%) were female, mean age 40 years (sd 15), and mean BMI 26 (sd 6). 22/500 (5%) were current smokers. Baseline medications at the time of registration were no therapy 6%, topical therapies 21%, 5ASA 49%, thiopurines 24%, methotrexate 6%, budesonide 3%, prednisolone 10%, advanced therapies 37%. (adalimumab 13%, golimumab <1%, infliximab 9%, tofacitinib 1%, ustekinumab 1%, vedolizumab 16%). In the previous 12 months, prednisolone use was reported by 148 (37%) patients with UC vs. 25 (25%) patients with CD,
Conclusion
Outcomes reported by patients illustrate the scale of the therapeutic deficit in current care. The ICHOM Standard Set acts as a benchmark for comparing outcomes between institutions.
