The main aim of this study is to check the disease activity in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Participants will complete questionnaires about their disease and quality of life on Day 1 clinic visit. They will do this during a standard scheduled appointment with their doctor. Some of this study will also involve collecting information about participants from their medical records.
This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, and non-interventional study of participants with moderate to severe IBD (UC or CD). The study will have a cross-sectional evaluation on Day 1 to provide the real-world data of disease activity, treatment patterns, burden of disease and quality of life in participants with moderate to severe UC or CD. The study will involve an additional retrospective review of medical charts of participants of previous 3 years to describe the IBD treatments and use of other healthcare resources related with the management of UC or DC. The study will enroll approximately 335 participants. All participants will be enrolled in one observational cohort. This multi-center trial will be conducted in Mexico. The overall time for data collection in the study will be approximately 3 years before the start of the study (Day 1).

Percentage of Participants With Active CD at Day 1
Percentage of participants with active CD observed, where active CD was defined as Harvey Bradshaw index (HBI) greater than or equal to (\>=) 8 or Crohn's disease active index (CDAI) \>=220. CDAI assessed CD based on clinical signs and symptoms such as number of liquid stools, intensity of abdominal pain, general wellbeing, presence of comorbid conditions, use of antidiarrheal, physical examination and laboratory findings. Total score ranges from 0 to 600 points. Higher score indicates more severe disease. HBI score was used to measure disease activity of CD and consisted of 5 clinical parameters: general well-being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass, and complications. Total score is sum of individual parameters. Score ranges from a minimum score of 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depends on number of liquid stools, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Percentages are rounded off to whole number at the nearest decimal.
Time frame: Day 1
Percentage of Participants With Active UC at Day 1
Percentage of participants with active disease UC disease will be observed, where UC is defined as 9-point Partial Mayo Score (pMayo score) \>=5. The Mayo score is composed of four categories (bleeding, stool frequency, physician assessment, and endoscopic appearance) rated from 0-3 that are summed into a total score ranging from 0-12. pMayo score consists of 3 sub scores: stool frequency, rectal bleeding, and physician global assessment of disease severity, each graded from 0 to 3. These scores are summed to give a total score range of 0 to 9; where higher scores indicating more severe disease. The pMayo score when compared with the full Mayo score and categorizes UC patients as being in remission (score of 0 to 2), having mild activity (pMayo of 3 or 4) or moderate to severe activity (pMayo of \>=5).
Time frame: Day 1
Number of Participants With CD Based on Clinical Presentation
Number of participants will be reported based on the clinical presentations (location, behavior, perianal disease, achievement of ileal disease and extraintestinal manifestations for CD participants). Clinical presentations that have data for at least one participant in the below categories are reported. Data is reported for participants with CD only.

Mean Score of Components of 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) of UC or CD Participants
SF-36 is a general quality of life (QoL)-questionnaire, which evaluates 8 health dimensions: physical functioning, bodily pain, role physical (limitations due to physical problems), role emotional (limitations due to personal or emotional problems), mental health, social functioning, vitality, and general health perceptions. Based on these 8 dimensions, two weighted scores were generated: the physical component summary (PCS) score and the mental component summary (MCS) score. Scores range between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life. Mean score of each component (physical component and mental component) was reported.
Time frame: Day 1
Mean Total Score of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) of UC or CD Participants
The IBDQ was a 32-item questionnaire that measured 4 dimensions: bowel function, emotional status, systemic symptoms, and social function. Within dimensions, each question presented seven possible answers/points. Each domain score was the sum of 8 responses each ranging from 1 to 7, where 1 indicated worst function and 7 the best. The sub-score ranged from 8 to 56 and thus the total score ranged from 32 to 224, where higher score indicating better quality of life.

Mean of Percentage of Total Work Impairment Assessed by Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI) in UC or CD Participants
WPAI assessed the impact of IBD on work productivity and daily activities during the previous 7 days. The WPAI included 6 questions: 1 (if currently employed); 2 (hours missed due to disease); 3 (hours missed other reasons); 4 (hours actually worked); 5 (degree disease affected productivity while working); 6 (degree disease affected regular activities). WPAI generated four component scores: percentage of work time missed (absenteeism); percentage of impairment while working (presentisms); percentage of overall work impairment (absenteeism and presentisms combined); and percentage of activity impairment. Scores for WPAI range from 0% to 100%, where 0 % indicates no impairment and 100% is total loss of work productivity/activity. Employed participants were evaluated for this outcome measure. Mean total percentage of work impairment (absenteeism and presentisms) were reported in terms of hours.

Total Direct Medical Cost for Participants With UC or CD
A cost analysis of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) was developed, classified by severity as mild and moderate-severe for each of the conditions. Direct medical costs were considered and included the following items: associated comorbidities, intestinal manifestations, surgical procedures, emergency visits, hospitalizations, medical appointments, follow-up studies, and previous pharmacological treatments; this was collected in the study including the number of participants and the proportion of them that presented the items studied. The total direct medical cost for all participants with each of the conditions was obtained, with the average 3-year cost per participant for UC and for CD multiplied by the number of all participants with UC and CD respectively. So, the values reported in the data table below represent the total direct cost for all participants with UC and CD respectively. The total direct cost was in Mexican Peso(MXN).
Time frame: From 3 years prior to Day 1 until Day 1
Indirect Cost for Participants With UC or CD
A cost analysis of UC and CD was developed, classified by severity as mild and moderate-severe for each condition. Indirect cost was estimated by using number of hours missed from work (absenteeism) multiplied by average hourly labor cost including wages and benefits, to calculate average lost productivity cost per participant due to absenteeism during specified duration. Hours missed from work were assessed by Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health (WPAI-GH) questionnaire, in which respondents answered 6 questions related to work productivity and impairment.The indirect medical cost for all participants with each of the conditions was obtained,with the average 3-year cost per participant for UC and for CD multiplied by the number of all employed participants with UC and CD respectively. So, values reported in data table below represent the indirect cost in totality for all employed participants with UC and CD respectively. The indirect cost is in MXN.
