Successful Collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes Shows Improvement in Quality of Life, Depression, and Disease Activity among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Real-World Study.

High rate of PRO collection was successful using EMR implementation in a tertiary care clinic setting. Corticosteroid use and psychiatric medication use were associated with worse disease activity, depressive symptoms and quality of life scores. Moreover, PROs demonstrated depressive symptoms (both cognitive and somatic subscales), and quality of life symptom scores improved over time.
