Older Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Literature exploring the health-related quality of life and care experiences of older adults with inflammatory bowel disease is limited despite the increasing prevalence in this population. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived health-related quality of life and care experiences in older adults with inflammatory bowel disease in Canada. This study used a mixed-methods convergent design consisting of a descriptive, cross-sectional survey and qualitative descriptive interviews. Fifty-eight participants completed the survey and 24 participants completed interviews. Older adults reported satisfaction with inflammatory bowel disease-related care, high levels of disease control, moderate health-related quality of life, and low levels of patient-healthcare team interactions. Themes identified were (1) Experiences of inflammatory bowel disease in daily life; (2) Accessibility of inflammatory bowel disease-related health services; and (3) Communication and relationships to facilitate inflammatory bowel disease care. Ultimately, quality inflammatory bowel disease care for older adults is contingent upon communication between patients and providers, access to multidisciplinary clinics, and support networks. By ensuring these factors are present, providers and patients can work together collectively toward positive patient outcomes, enhanced satisfaction with care, and greater perceived quality of care.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
