Occupational Insertion and Educational Level of Adult Patients With Pediatric Early Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are responsible for high morbidity and impaired quality of life of patients throughout disease course. Numerous studies have shown the impact of the disease on the quality of life of patients with IBD. However, very little data is available on the level of education and professional integration of patients who started their IBD in childhood. The hypothesis behind the study project is that the level of education and consequently the professional integration of patients with early pediatric IBD: 1) could be different from those of the general population; 2) and that these differences could be influenced by the nature of IBD, the age of its onset and its main characteristics. The main objective of this project is to assess the professional integration of these adult patients with pediatric-onset IBD and to compare it with the general population.
