To determine if anxiety and depression are associated with a lower QoL in patients with UC in remission.
We included consecutive patients with a previously confirmed diagnosis of UC in remission for at least 12 months and who answered complete questionnaires: IBDQ-32, HAD. Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics were obtained. We performed non-parametric tests, and correlations between HADS and IBDQ-32 were analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient (r). A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Among 124 patients, 65% were men, with a median evolution of UC of 10 years (IQR: 5-79 years). Prevalence for anxiety was 15.3% and 2.4% for depression. Global QoL was 192 (IQR: 175-208). Lower QoL was associated with anxiety (p=0.002) and depression (p=0.013). Depression represented lower QoL at the digestive level than no depression (p=0.04). Anxiety negatively correlated with QoL (r=-0.54; p<0.001).
Anxiety is frequent in patients with UC in remission; therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment must be implemented to improve QoL.
确定在缓解期的 UC 患者中，焦虑和抑郁是否与较低的生活质量相关。
我们纳入了此前确诊为缓解期 UC 且缓解期至少 12 个月且回答了完整问卷的连续患者：IBDQ-32、HAD。获取了临床和社会人口学特征。我们进行了非参数检验，并使用 Spearman 相关系数（r）分析了 HAD 和 IBDQ-32 之间的相关性。p 值小于 0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
在 124 名患者中，65%为男性，UC 的中位病程为 10 年（IQR：5-79 年）。焦虑的患病率为 15.3%，抑郁的患病率为 2.4%。总体生活质量为 192（IQR：175-208）。生活质量较低与焦虑（p=0.002）和抑郁（p=0.013）相关。与无抑郁的患者相比，抑郁患者的消化相关生活质量更低（p=0.04）。焦虑与生活质量呈负相关（r=-0.54；p<0.001）。
在缓解期的 UC 患者中，焦虑很常见；因此，必须及时进行诊断和治疗以改善生活质量。
