IBD Quality-of-Life Index

The IBD Quality-of-Life Index is a tool used by healthcare providers to measure how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects a person's daily life. It assesses aspects like physical health, emotional well-being, and social functioning by asking questions about symptoms, energy levels, work, and relationships. The goal is to understand the disease’s impact beyond just medical symptoms, helping doctors tailor treatment plans to improve overall comfort and quality of life for individuals living with IBD.
