Factors associated with quality of care in inflammatory bowel diseases

Quality of care (QoC) is a highly important topic in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We recently elaborated a decalogue of QoC indicators (IQCARO-QoC) developed by IBD patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the factors associated with patients' evaluation of QoC in Spain using the IQ...

description Quality of care (QoC) is a highly important topic in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We recently elaborated a decalogue of QoC indicators (IQCARO-QoC) developed by IBD patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the factors associated with patients' evaluation of QoC in Spain using the IQCARO-QoC Decalogue recently developed by IBD patients. A survey including patients' socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, and the IQCARO-QoC Decalogue, was completed by IBD patients. We described patients' assessment of QoC across Spanish patients. A univariable and multivariable analysis was performed to explore the associations between patients' characteristics and QoC. Questionnaires from 788 participant patients were analysed. Participants' mean age was 43.4 years, 63% were females and 58% had Crohn's disease. The mean QoC score was 8.1 (± 2.4 SD) points out of a maximum of 10. Items with the lowest score were related to the provision of information and the implication of the medical team throughout the entire patient care. Factors associated with better QoC scores included: being employed better disease control, fewer numbers of unscheduled visits, and being followed by a gastroenterologist specialized in IBD. Spanish patients' reported QoC seems to be globally good although there is room for improvement, especially in providing adequate information to patients. Care provided by specialized IBD gastroenterologists seems to be related with higher QoC scores.
