  • Increasing age and use of monoclonal therapy (infliximab, adalimumab, ustekinumab or vedolizumab) are predictors of reduced school attendance.

  • Dependent variable: School attendance (%). Independent variables: age at questionnaire, age at diagnosis, sex, thiopurine/methotrexate treatment, diagnosis (CD, UC or IBDU) and time with disease.
