Abstract
Improving quality of life and completely controlling symptoms are the priority treatment objectives for IBD patients, with abdominal pain being the most important symptom. Conversely, therapeutic objective target goals proposed by physicians, such as healing the mucosal lesions, are not a priority for most patients. This indicates that there are discrepancies between patient and physician expectations, which should be taken into account if a patient-centered care model is to be implemented.
