    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
