Predictors of Health Care Seeking for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Nonulcer Dyspepsia: A Critical Review of the Literature on Symptom and Psychosocial Factors
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Health care use is a costly outcome of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and nonulcer dyspepsia (NUD), but the predictors of this behavior remain poorly defined. We aimed to systematically review the literature to determine which symptoms and psychosocial factors drive health care seeking in these disorders. METHODS: A broad based MEDLINE and Current Contents search between 1966 and 2000 identified 44 relevant publications. References from these articles were also reviewed. RESULTS: The literature suggests that symptom severity is an important factor, but only explains a small proportion of the health care seeking behavior associated with these disorders in population-based studies. Psychosocial factors including life event stress, psychological morbidity, personality, abuse and abnormal illness attitudes and beliefs have been found to characterize those that seek help versus those that do not. The role of other psychosocial factors such as social support, coping style and knowledge about illness are as yet undetermined. CONCLUSIONS: A model for health care seeking for IBS and NUD, with an emphasis on psychosocial factors is presented, but remains to be tested.

“Despite the evidence that abdominal pain is at least responsible for some of the health care seeking in these disorders, no studies have been able to show that abdominal pain accounts for a significant proportion of the variance in health care seeking (1, 11, 16, 23, 26, 27).”

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.
