Physical symptom severity, psychological and social dysfunction in a series of outpatients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Abstract
Details of physical symptoms, psychological and social dysfunction of 42 outpatients diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were collected by interview and questionnaire. Social stresses and problems were also elicited as well as the impact of symptoms on their subjects' daily lives. High proportions of subjects were handicapped in their social, sexual and working lives by IBS symptoms and social stresses and problems were common. Forty-eight per cent were classified as having a 'minor psychiatric illness' using the Clinical Psychiatric Interview. Women were more severely affected by physical symptoms (with the exception of diarrhoea) and were more likely to be in pain longer and for more days in the month. They were also more likely than men to be diagnosed as having a psychiatric illness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
