Organic Lesions

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome occurs as recurrent abdominal pain that is related to defecation and associated with change in frequency and/or form of stool. Few Patients with IBS may have organic lesions detectable at colonoscopy. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in 140 consecutive patients of IBS fulfilling the ROME IV criteria. The study was conducted in Gastroenterology unit, Department of Medicine, Bir hospital, Kathmandu from July 2016 to September 2017. All patients underwent full colonoscopy along with biopsy from sigmoid colon and any visibly abnormal areas. Results: The average age of patients was 37.5 years with 76 (52.8%) males. Forty-two (30%) had IBS-D, 36 (26%) had IBS-C, 31 (22%) had IBS-M and 31 (22%) had IBS-U. Dyspepsia was seen in 16 (11.4%) and fear of TB/Malignancy/IBD was seen in 27 (19.2%). Organic lesions were seen in 39 (27.85%) patients. Nonspecific colitis was seen in 10 (7.1%) followed by ileal erosions in 7 (5%), polyps in 8 (5.7%), hemorrhoids in 6 (4.2%) and diverticula in 3 (2.1%). Only one (0.71%) patient had microscopic colitis and one (0.71%) had malignant lesion seen at histopathological examination. Females with IBS-D had more organic findings than males (P=0.03, RR=4.13, 95% CI=1.21-15.71). Conclusions: The prevalence of organic lesions in patients with IBS fulfilling ROME IV criteria is 27%. Dyspepsia is the most common comorbidity and fear of TB/malignancy/IBD is the most common reason for seeking health care. Females with IBS-D have a higher risk of detecting organic lesions by colonoscopy and histopathology examination.

The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and its associated factors among University students in Saudi Arabia, as little is known about this issue in our country. This cross-sectional study was conducted between 13 March and 21 May of the Academic Year 2017-2018 at Jazan University, Saudi Arabia, involving a random sample of 890 students, selected using the stratified multistage method. IBS prevalence was determined using the Rome IV diagnostic Criteria. The overall prevalence of IBS was 8.8%. According to the results of the multivariate logistic regression, the most important independent predictors of IBS were being a student in a medical college (OR = 10.42; 95%CI: 3.45-31.51) and a scientific college (OR = 5.16; 95%CI: 1.64-16.22), cigarettes smoking (OR = 2.74; 95%CI: 1.24-6.07), emotional stress (OR = 2.53; 95%CI: 1.28-5.00), and food intolerance (OR = 2.15; 95%CI: 1.11-4.16). The present study revealed a prevalence rate of 8.8%. The main predictors of IBS were being a medical student, a scientific college student, cigarette smoker, and having emotional stress and food intolerance. No significant association was found between IBS and anxiety and depression.
