When I first started studying #medicalPTSD in ~2018 inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis) I was shocked more hadn't been done. PTSD from medical experiences is a critical aspect of patient care.
So what did we find?
~25% of pts w IBD report medical PTSD from illness/treatment
Hospitalizations are a big source of #IBDPTSD
Logically IBDPTSD is associated w poorer outcomes
