Abstract

Background Fatigue is a common and clinically challenging symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). While fatigue occurs most often in patients with active disease, up to 50% of patients with quiescent disease still report significant fatigue of unknown aetiology. Here, we aimed to investigate whether fatigue in patients with quiescent IBD is reflected by circulating inflammatory proteins, that in turn might reflect ongoing subclinical inflammation. Methods Ninety-two (92) different inflammation-related proteins were measured in plasma of 350 patients with quiescent IBD (188 Crohn’s disease [CD]; 162 ulcerative colitis [UC]). Quiescent IBD was defined as clinical (Harvey-Bradshaw Index [HBI]
