P015 BODY IMAGE DISSATISFACTION IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES

Abstract Background/Aims Pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are at increased risk for poor psychosocial outcomes, including body image dissatisfaction (BID). We aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for BID in CCFA Partners Kids & Teens cohort. Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in CCFA Partners Kids & Teens. We included children age 5-18 with IBD. We obtained information on demographics, disease characteristics, and the IMPACT-35. We classified BID as present if "I look awful" or "I look bad" was selected. Disease activity was measured via the pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI) and the short Crohn's disease activity index (sCDAI). We assessed depression and anxiety through patient reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) measures. We performed bivariate analyses to assess associations between BID and characteristics. We then used logistic regression models to evaluate the independent associations between selected risk factors and BID. Results A total of 664 pediatric patients completed the IMPACT-35, of whom 74 (3.3%) met criteria for BID. Patients with BID were more likely to be female (p
