Cure8 research brief
A validated Spanish IBD-Disk gives Spanish-speaking patients and clinicians a brief, validated tool to measure disability and global health in IBD, supporting consistent monitoring and research across Spanish-speaking settings.
Spanish-speaking adult patients with IBD, gastroenterology clinicians in Spain and Latin America, IBD researchers conducting patient-reported outcome studies, and clinical teams implementing routine disability screening.
The authors translated and tested the IBD-Disk in 102 Spanish-speaking IBD patients (52 Crohn’s, 50 UC) from Spain and Latin America. They assessed internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha ~0.93), test–retest reliability (ICC 0.956 between baseline and week 1), and convergent validity against the Spanish IBD-Disability Index (correlation 0.912).
Activity indices were associated with IBD-Disk scores. How people might use this The Spanish IBD-Disk appears to be a reliable, quick patient-reported measure for assessing disability and global health in Spanish-speaking IBD populations. Clinicians and researchers could consider it for routine monitoring or study outcomes alongside established indices.
