BUJANDA, L. et al. Irritable bowel syndrome in patients under age 55 with dyspeptic syndrome. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2003, vol.20, n.7, pp.32-34. ISSN 0212-7199.
The presence of IBS was studied in 289 patients under 55 years of age with dyspeptic syndrome. The subjects were divided into two groups: group I (240 patients with DS) and group II (49 patients with DS and IBS). The mean duration of follow-up was 10.8 years (130 months). IBS was diagnosed in 49 patients (17%). Females accounted for 64% and 77% of groups I and II, respectively (p<0.05). There were no differences in mean age or the type of FDS. The patients in group II consulted more often and earlier (92% returned for consultation, and took 27 months in doing so) than those in group I (52% and 40 months)(p<0.05). The number of diagnostic tests requested was greater in group II. Psychiatric pathology was in turn more common in group II than in group I (20% versus 7%)(p<0.05).
