Journal Article
Young Adult Patients With Paediatric‐Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease Have a Higher Educational Level and a Higher Employment Rate Than the General Population
2025
Overview
Background & Aims There are few published data on the impact of paediatric‐onset inflammatory bowel diseases on education and employment. The objective of the present cross‐sectional study was to assess the educational level and occupational status of adult patients with paediatric‐onset inflammatory bowel diseases from the EPIMAD Registry. Methods The inclusion criteria were (i) a diagnosis of paediatric‐onset (< 17 years at diagnosis) inflammatory bowel diseases, and (ii) age 25 or over at the time of study. The patients answered a self‐questionnaire on their educational level and profession. The data were compared with those of the general population of the same age and geographic area. Results Three hundred and sixty‐one patients (286 with Crohn's disease and 75 with ulcerative colitis) filled out and returned the questionnaire. The median [interquartile] age was 15.0 [12.9; 16.3] years at diagnosis and 34.2 [29.6; 39.5] years at the time of the study. Patients were more likely to have a higher education degree than the general population (57% vs. 41%, p < 0.0001). The unemployment rate was significantly lower among study participants than among the general population (9% vs. 15%, p = 0.001). Salaried patients were significantly more likely to be employed in the healthcare sector (14% vs. 9% in the general population; p = 0.005) and in the public sector (34% vs. 22% in the general population; p < 0.0001). Conclusion Our results showed that relative to the general population, patients with paediatric‐onset inflammatory bowel diseases have a higher educational level and a higher employment rate, and are more likely to work in the healthcare and public sectors.
