Abstract

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a functional gastrointestinal disorder, is present in 10% to 20% of the U.S. adult population. The syndrome is best defined as chronic abdominal discomfort with changes in stool frequency, consistency, and passage, with associated symptoms such as abdominal bloating or presence of mucus in stools. Several studies have shown that up to 70% to 90% of patients with IBS who seek treatment have psychiatric comorbidity, most notably mood and anxiety disorders. Recent studies have shown a high prevalence of IBS in psychiatric patients who seek treatment, with a prevalence of 19% in schizophrenia, 29% in major depression, and 46% in panic disorder among other disorders. Our article reviews the comorbidity of IBS in psychiatric patients and discusses implications for treatment.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is a high prevalence of co-morbidity between psychiatric and gastrointestinal symptoms, with 40-60% of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders experiencing psychiatric symptoms and up to 50% of psychiatric patients diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome.

    “There is a high prevalence of co-morbidity between psychiatric and gastrointestinal symptoms, e.g., 40–60% of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders experience psychiatric symptoms [35] and up to 50% of psychiatric patients are diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome [36], which clearly suggests broader implications of this axis on gastrointestinal and brain functions.”

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.
