Abstract

Despite improved therapies targeting inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease, persistent gastrointestinal and extraintestinal symptoms in those believed to be in remission are highly prevalent with significant impact on patient function and quality of life. This review aims to summarize the scale of the problem, to identify the limitations of previous studies, and to propose how these may be addressed.
