Acceptance and Perceived Control are Independently Associated With Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Introduction of a New Segmentation Model.

Background And Aims: Segmentation of patients based on psychological determinants of subjective health may provide new ways to personalized care. The cross-disease segmentation model developed by Bloem & Stalpers discriminates patients based on disease acceptance and perceived control. We aimed to validate the segmentation model, compare segments and evaluate whether segments independently correlate with quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD].
