| Core Tip |
After applying the novel Cumulative Complexity Model, this study showed that a severe imbalance between patient “workload” (escalating treatment burden) and depleted “capacity” (fragmented sleep) are independently associated with the deterioration of quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. With 61.39% of patients experiencing poor sleep, our findings complement the traditional methods that focus solely on mucosal healing. We thus urge a paradigm shift in inflammatory bowel disease management: Multidisciplinary teams must urgently integrate routine sleep screening and systemic burden-relief strategies, such as streamlining care pathways, to help restore patient resilience and optimize long-term quality of life. |
