Brief summary
The main aim of the study is to assess the quality of life of people with Crohn's disease after treatment for complex perianal fistulas (CPF) in a standard clinic setting. Study doctors will review the participants' medical records in the last 3 years. Participants will also be asked to visit the clinic once to complete 1 questionnaire on their quality of life.
Detailed description
This is a national, observational, cross-sectional study. The study will assess the general QoL among CD participants with CPFs in the Portuguese routine clinical practice. This study will enroll approximately 80 participants. All participants will be enrolled in one observational cohort. The data will be collected retrospectively, from the medical records, on healthcare resource utilization and on the pharmacological and surgical treatments used for the management of CPFs in the three years prior to the inclusion visit. This multi-center trial will be conducted in Portugal. The overall duration of this study is approximately 8 months.

|---|---|---|
| Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) Questionnaire Score for Female Participants | At inclusion visit (Day 1) | SQOL-F assessed the relationship between female sexual dysfunction and quality of life. It consists of 18 items, rated using a six-point scale (completely agree to completely disagree). The total score can range from 18 to 108 points. Higher scores indicate better female sexual quality of life. |
| Fecal Incontinence as Assessed by Wexner Score | At inclusion visit (Day 1) | Fecal incontinence is measured by Wexner score. It consists of five questions to assess the degree of incontinence (solid, liquid, gas, wears pad, lifestyle alteration). The frequency of each type of incontinence is rated on a scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (always or to once a day) so that the sum of the frequencies add up to a total score that ranges from 0 to 20. Higher scores indicate worse fecal incontinence. |
| Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) as Assessed by WPAI Questionnaire Score | At inclusion visit (Day 1) | WPAI score was used to describe the indirect healthcare resources. It is self-administered 6-item questionnaire (scale of 0-10) which assesses the effect of disease on work productivity in the past 7 days obtained for absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work / reduced on-the-job effectiveness), work productivity loss (overall work impairment / absenteeism plus presenteeism) and activity impairment / disability. Scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), Domain scores are expressed as a percentage, with a range of scores form 0-100%, with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Higher scores indicate greater impairment. |

The total score is reported and ranges from 10 to 70 with a higher score indicating a better health-related QoL. |
| Number of Participants Characterized Based on Pharmacological Treatments and Surgeries for CPF | Up to 3 years prior to the inclusion visit at Day 1 | For each pharmacological treatment (antibiotics, monoclonal antibodies, immunosuppressants, and others), participants were divided into three categories (current users, past users, and non-users) considering the three years prior to the inclusion visit. Surgical treatment in the last three years for the management of CPF was also recorded. A participant may be included in more than one category. |
| Correlation Between General QoL PCS-12 and the Participants Socio-demographic, Anthropometric and Clinical Characteristics Assessed as PCS Score Stratified Based on Qualitative Variables | At inclusion visit (Day 1) | The following qualitative variables were considered for the bivariate analysis: sex, smoking status, employment status, extraintestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease, Montreal classification for CD disease (age at onset, disease location, and disease behavior), fistula type and position, CD disease activity, treatment-naïve, surgery-naïve, type of surgery, and presence of seton, perianal abscess and anorectal stricture. PCS-12 scores were transformed to a 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. |

| Number of Participants With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease (CD) Stratified by Clinical Characteristics | At inclusion visit (Day 1) | The Montreal classification index for CD is used to classify the extent of the disease activity. It consists of two parameters: location and behavior of the disease activity. There are four different disease locations presented: Location 1 (L1) is ileum, Location 2 (L2) is colonic disease, Location 3 (L3) is ileocolon and Location 4 (L4) is isolated upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract disease. The first three categories (L1-L3) is combined with L4 where disease sites coexisted. There are 4 different categories for the behavior of the disease activity: Behavior 1 (B1) is non stenosing or non penetrating; Behavior 2 (B2) was stenosing; Behavior 3 (B3) is penetrating and p as perianal disease (p). The first 3 categories (B1 to B3) could be added with p to indicate coexisting perianal disease. Perianal disease (p) is defined as the presence of perianal abscesses or fistulae. |
| Sexual Quality of Life-Male (SQOL-M) Questionnaire Score for Male Participants | At inclusion visit (Day 1) | SQOL-M assessed the relationship between male sexual dysfunction and quality of life. It contains 11 items, each items are scored from 1 to 6 points (worst to best), completely agree = 1 to completely disagree = 6. The total score can range from 11 to 66 points. Higher scores indicate better male sexual quality of life. |

Fecal Incontinence as Assessed by Wexner Score
Fecal incontinence is measured by Wexner score. It consists of five questions to assess the degree of incontinence (solid, liquid, gas, wears pad, lifestyle alteration). The frequency of each type of incontinence is rated on a scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (always or to once a day) so that the sum of the frequencies add up to a total score that ranges from 0 to 20. Higher scores indicate worse fecal incontinence.
Time frame: At inclusion visit (Day 1)
Population: All eligible participants with CD and CPAF were included in the analysis. Overall number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses.

Number of Participants With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease (CD) Stratified by Clinical Characteristics
The Montreal classification index for CD is used to classify the extent of the disease activity. It consists of two parameters: location and behavior of the disease activity. There are four different disease locations presented: Location 1 (L1) is ileum, Location 2 (L2) is colonic disease, Location 3 (L3) is ileocolon and Location 4 (L4) is isolated upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract disease. The first three categories (L1-L3) is combined with L4 where disease sites coexisted. There are 4 different categories for the behavior of the disease activity: Behavior 1 (B1) is non stenosing or non penetrating; Behavior 2 (B2) was stenosing; Behavior 3 (B3) is penetrating and p as perianal disease (p). The first 3 categories (B1 to B3) could be added with p to indicate coexisting perianal disease. Perianal disease (p) is defined as the presence of perianal abscesses or fistulae.
Time frame: At inclusion visit (Day 1)
Population: All eligible participants with CD and CPAF were included in the analysis.

Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) as Assessed by WPAI Questionnaire Score
WPAI score was used to describe the indirect healthcare resources. It is self-administered 6-item questionnaire (scale of 0-10) which assesses the effect of disease on work productivity in the past 7 days obtained for absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work / reduced on-the-job effectiveness), work productivity loss (overall work impairment / absenteeism plus presenteeism) and activity impairment / disability. Scores are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), Domain scores are expressed as a percentage, with a range of scores form 0-100%, with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Higher scores indicate greater impairment.
