Compared with mild Crohn’s dis – ease, moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease is associated with worse patientreported outcomes, greater healthcare resource utilization, and higher medical costs, according to findings published in Crohn’s & Colitis 360. Sabree C. Burbage, PharmD, MPH, and colleagues enrolled 1,077 patients with Crohn’s disease, including 818 non-Hispanic White people, 109 non-Hispanic Black people, and 150 Hispanic people. Patients with self-reported moderate/severe disease had significantly worse HRQOL, higher work productivity and activity impairment, greater healthcare resource utilization, and increased med – ical costs compared with self-reported mild disease. Non-Hispanic Black participants reported better QOL and fewer healthcare provider visits compared with non-Hispanic White participants. There were no significant differences in patient-reported out – comes between non-Hispanic White and Hispan – ic groups; non-Hispanic Black participants with moderate/severe CD experienced greater absentee – ism and more gastroenterologist visits. Further re – search is needed to better understand factors that impact disease severity across racial/ethnic groups, according to Dr. Burbage and colleagues.
