Irritable bowel syndrome and surgery: A multivariable analysis☆
Open accessAbstract
Background & aims Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have high surgical rates. We investigated the demographic and medical factors independently associated with surgical histories of health examinees.Methods We applied multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis to self-completed questionnaire data from 89,008 examinees, assessing 6 surgeries as outcomes. We assessed questionnaire/physician record agreement of physician-diagnosed IBS and surgical history on 201 randomly selected examinees with > or =3 years of records.Results Questionnaire/record agreement for IBS and surgery was 83.6% (kappa = 0.68) and 95.5%-100.0% (kappa = 0.82-1), respectively. IBS was reported by 4587 examinees (5.2%) (1382 men [3.0%] and 3205 women [7.5%]). Subjects with and without IBS, respectively, reported the following surgical procedures: cholecystectomy, 569 (12.4%) versus 3428 (4.1%), P < 0.0001; appendectomy, 967 (21.1%) versus 9906 (11.7%), P < 0.0001; hysterectomy, 1063 (33.2%) versus 6751 (17.0%), P < 0.0001; back surgery, 201 (4.4%) versus 2436 (2.9%), P < 0.0001; coronary artery surgery, 127 (2.8%) versus 2033 (2.4%), P > 0.05; peptic ulcer surgery, 22 (0.5%) versus 277 (0.3%), P > 0.05. Among independent surgery associations, IBS was associated with cholecystectomy (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-2.31; P < 0.0001), appendectomy (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.33-1.56; P < 0.0001), hysterectomy (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.55-1.87; P < 0.0001), and back surgery (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.43; P = 0.0084).Conclusions Health examinees with physician-diagnosed IBS report rates of cholecystectomy 3-fold higher, appendectomy and hysterectomy 2-fold higher, and back surgery 50% higher than examinees without IBS; IBS is independently associated with these surgical procedures.

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.
