Abstract
Background: Anaemia is a relevant and frequent condition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which may affect their quality of life (HRQOL). The aim of this study was to evaluate if the presence of anaemia was associated with a worse HRQOL in IBD patients. Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective study with consecutive patient recruitment was designed. All adult patients with IBD who attend the IBD Unit were included. Anaemia was defined as hemoglobin levels above 12 g/dl in females and 13 g/dl in males according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Remission was defined as a Harvey score
