Communicating Needs and Features of IBD Experiences study: Canadian individuals and healthcare professional perceptions of the experience and impact of symptoms of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

Although both HCPs and individuals with IBD reported a substantial symptom burden, their perceptions regarding the most impactful symptoms differed. Bowel urgency was identified as a common yet overlooked symptom and should be incorporated into regular IBD assessments.
