    The study aimed to create and validate a sexual quality of life score, BLOOMI, for youth aged 15-25 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  • 2

    BLOOMI was developed by a multidisciplinary team and is based on two validated scores: the IIEF and SFQ28, incorporating specific IBD-related concerns.

  • 3

    Validation of BLOOMI involved a multicentric study with 104 participants, showing strong correlation with gold standard scores and high internal consistency.

  • 4

    Findings indicated that 19.1% of IBD patients experienced erectile dysfunction, with fatigue and body image concerns linked to poorer sexual quality of life.

  • 5

    BLOOMI may enhance screening for sexual challenges in young IBD patients and support further research on the impact of IBD on their lives.
