Cross\u2010sectional cohorts I and II included 130 (46 active) and 288 (156 active) patients. Longitudinal cohort III included 83 patients with active disease at diagnosis that reached deep remission during follow\u2010up.

In multivariable models, symptoms of anxiety were associated with higher abdominal pain levels in both cross\u2010sectional cohorts (OR 1.75 [IQR 1.11\u20132.76] and OR 1.99 [1.45\u20132.73]), whereas in cohort II, active disease (OR 2.68 [1.61\u20134.45]) and female sex (OR 2.03 [1.21\u20133.41]) were also associated with pain.
