Cumulative Effects of Psychologic Distress, Visceral Hypersensitivity, and Abnormal Transit on Patient-reported Outcomes in Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Open accessAbstract
Background & aims Little is known about the link between pathophysiologic factors and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or whether these factors have cumulative effects on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). We investigated whether pathophysiologic alterations associated with IBS have cumulative or independent effects on PROs.Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of data from 3 cohorts of patients with IBS (n = 407; 74% female; mean age, 36 ± 12 years), based on Rome II or Rome III criteria, seen at a specialized unit for functional gastrointestinal disorders in Sweden from 2002 through 2014. All patients underwent assessments of colonic transit time (radiopaque markers); compliance, allodynia, and hyperalgesia (rectal barostat); anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale), as pathophysiologic factors. Dysfunction was defined by available normal values. PROs included IBS symptom severity, somatic symptom severity, and disease-specific quality of life.Results Allodynia was observed in 36% of patients, hyperalgesia in 22%, accelerated colonic transit in 18%, delayed transit in 7%, anxiety in 52%, and depression in 24%: each of these factors was associated with severity of at least 1 symptom of IBS. Rectal compliance was not associated with more severe symptoms of IBS. At least 3 pathophysiologic factors were present in 20% of patients, 2 in 30%, 1 in 31%, and none in 18%. With increasing number of pathophysiologic abnormalities, there was a gradual increase in IBS symptom severity (P < .0001) and somatic symptom severity (P < .0001), and a gradual reduction in quality of life (P < .0001).Conclusion Visceral hypersensitivity, including allodynia and hyperalgesia, abnormal colonic transit, and psychologic factors are all associated with IBS symptoms. These factors have a cumulative effect on gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal symptoms, as well as on quality of life, in patients with IBS and are therefore relevant treatment targets.

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.
