Abstract EN
Background.
Iron deficiency is the prevalent complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Herein, we investigated the effect of intravenous iron treatment on quality of life (QoL) in nonanemic and iron deficient IBD patients.
Methods.
Eighty-five IBD patients were recruited for this study.
The patients were intravenously administered 500 mg iron sucrose in the first week of the study.
Hematologic parameters and QoL were evaluated before to iron treatment and during the 12th week of treatment.
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey were used to assess QoL.
Results.
Prior to intravenous iron administration, the IBDQ, SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores were 152.3±30.6, 46.7±7.3, and 45.7±9.8, respectively.
In the 12th week of iron administration, those scores were 162.3±25.5 (P<0.001), 49.3±6.4 (P<0.001), and 47.6±8.9 (P=0.024), respectively, which were all significantly different from the scores prior to iron administration.
The mean changes in the IBDQ scores for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease were 8.7% and 3.0% (P=0.029), were 6.4% and 4.7% (P=0.562) for the SF-36 PCS, and were 4.6% and 3.2% (P=0.482) for the SF-36 MCS, respectively.
Conclusion.
Intravenous iron treatment may improve QoL in nonanemic, but iron deficient, IBD patients.
