Registry summary
The goal of this observational, multicenter, descriptive, prospective, and longitudinal study is to evaluate the impact of IBD activity on frailty in a prospective and longitudinal cohort of patients with IBD, and also to assess the impact of frailty on the risk of hospitalization and mortality in patients with IBD aged ≥60 years.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can frailty and consequently the risk of complications (adverse events, hospitalization, and mortality) be reversed through proactive treatment in frail patients with active inflammatory bowel disease?
- Which frailty index is the most effective for predicting the risk of complications in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease? At inclusion, clinical frailty indices will be calculated. Additionally, clinical variables related to IBD and comorbidities will be recorded. During follow ups visits frailty, comorbidities, IBD activity, changes in medical treatment for IBD, adverse effects, hospitalizations, and mortality will be reassessed.
