Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to announce a call for manuscripts on the compelling topic of “Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) around the World” for publication in our journal. As the field of IBD research continues to evolve, there is a growing recognition of the importance of incorporating patient perspectives and experiences into clinical care and research.
Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) offer invaluable insights into the real-world impact of IBD on individuals’ lives, encompassing aspects such as symptom burden, quality of life, treatment satisfaction, and functional status. Understanding PROs is crucial for optimizing patient-centered care, enhancing treatment decision-making, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions across diverse populations and healthcare settings.
We invite submissions that explore various dimensions of PROs in IBD, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Which PROs are routinely used in IBD?
- How is PRO reporting implemented in daily clinical routine?
- Best practice solutions for PRO reporting in different regions/countries.
- What are the strategies to implement patients’ views on therapeutic approaches?
- Which PROs reflect the psychosocial impact that IBD is having on QOL?
- Which diversity aspects are recognized in PRO reporting?
