Data on the long-term effects of Crohn's disease (CD) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is scarce. We aimed to determine the HRQoL in CD patients 10 years after disease onset, to compare the results to the general population and to identify variables that could affect HRQoL. ⋯ In this chronic stage of CD, reduced general health and vitality scores need attention while reductions in disease specific HRQoL seem to be less predominant.
