Inflammatory bowel disease patient profiles are related to specific information needs: A nationwide survey

Figure 1 Forest plots showing the magnitude of difference ("Delta") between the rating of information domains given by profiles vs other participants. A, B, C, D, E and F stands for profiles 1, 2, 4, 7, 12 and 14, respectively. A: Patients with active disease [Manitona Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Index (MIBDI) A/B/C] and a history of hospitalization during the preceding 12 mo (n = 94); B: Patients with significantly active disease (MIBDI A/B/C) treated with immunomodulators and biologics (n = 52); C: Patients in remission while treated with mesalamine or receiving no treatment (n = 90); D: Patients older than age 50 years, diagnosed during the preceding 12 mo (n = 8); E: Patients who had surgery during the preceding 12 mo (n = 39); F: Patients diagnosed at age > 50 years (n = 72). Positive values indicate increased interest in the information domain, negative value indicates decreased interest. ¹In which case data pertains to information needs at time of disease onset, presented data pertains to current information needs.
