Fatigue in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease: a cross-sectional study
Fatigue is a multidimensional symptom that affects a majority of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients. Factors such as patient region, age, disease severity, BMI, and drug use are significantly associated with fatigue. Healthcare providers should prioritize the assessment of fatigue symptoms in these patients. Following the initial assessment, targeted interventions should be implemented to alleviate and improve these symptoms.
