Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that significantly impacts the health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). A decreased HR-QOL has been demonstrated in patients with active disease compared to patients in remission. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the role of depression and disease activity as independent factors in predicting patient's HR-QOL. 105 patients with either Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) were enrolled. Disease activity was evaluated by the Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) or Seo Activity Index (SAI). Depressive symptoms were evaluated by Beck's Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) and Primary Care (BDI-PC). HR-QOL was evaluated by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ). Simple and multiple regressions were performed on quality of life score with multiple demographic and clinical variables as predictors. The prevalence of depression in our study population is 25%. In both CD and UC patients, depression is the most significant predictor to a poor HR-QOL (in CD, P=8.22×10-6; in UC, P=2.02×10-6). HR-QOL is weakly affected by disease activity (in CD, P=0.110; in UC, P=0.00492). In CD, Biologic use displays positive effect on HR-QOL (P=0.00780). In total, the proportion of variance explained by all predictors is 61% for CD and 53% for UC, while the depression alone explains 44% and 36%. Our study demonstrates the importance of depression toward the quality of life in IBD patients. The diagnosis of depression should be actively sought out and treated in outpatient IBD practices.
