Abstract

UNLABELLED: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by the presence of abdominal discomfort or pain and bowel habit alterations: constipation (C-IBS), diarrhea (D-IBS), or alternating C and D (A-IBS). Its clinical course is poorly known. OBJECTIVES: (i) To compare bowel habit subtypes distribution in IBS according to sample origin and diagnosis criteria; (ii) To evaluate IBS temporal patterns based on follow-up studies. METHODS: A literature search (1966-2003) was conducted in the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. A total of 72 studies were found and 22 were finally selected. RESULTS: Population-based studies from the United States (Manning) found similar distribution among C-IBS, D-IBS, and A-IBS, while European studies (Rome I, Rome II, or self-reporting) showed either C-IBS or A-IBS as the most prevalent subtypes. Primary care office-based studies (Rome I or Rome II) showed A-IBS as the most prevalent group. Gastroenterology specialized office-based studies found either C-IBS or D-IBS as the most frequently reported subtype. Prospective follow-up investigations showed that the most frequent IBS temporal pattern profile consists of mild to moderate symptoms appearing in cluster in an intermittent way, about once a week, and lasting 2-5 days on average. CONCLUSION: IBS clinical subtypes distribution differs depending on the population evaluated, the geographical location, and the criteria employed to define IBS and bowel habit subtypes. In most cases, clinical course is characterized by the presence of mild-to-moderate symptoms appearing sequentially. Prospective studies, using clear and stable diagnostic criteria and subtype definitions, and based on daily data collection should further characterize IBS clinical course.

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.
