RESUMO

Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects 10-20% of the global population, primarily manifesting as functional issues leading to abdominal discomfort. Key contributors like genetics, psychological factors, weakened immunity, and environmental pollutants play significant roles. Regional variations exist, with prevalence rates ranging from 7-10% in certain areas like South Asia and the Middle East to as high as 20% in many Western countries. Objective The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and its related risk factors among the general populace of the Qassim region, Saudi Arabia, aiming to offer valuable insights for healthcare planning and intervention strategies. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, utilizing a validated self-administered questionnaire among residents of the Qassim region aged over 18 years. The questionnaire included demographic information about the participants and the validated Rome IV questionnaire for IBS in adults. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Qassim Research Ethics Committee, and data analysis was conducted using R script language version 4.3.3. A significance level of p < 0.05 was employed to interpret the results. Results Overall, significant associations were observed between IBS diagnosis and food allergy (AOR = 2.34, 99% CI: 1.27-4.29), family history of IBS (Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR) = 7.03, 99% CI: 3.51-15.74), and abdominal pain lasting more than six months (AOR = 2.54, 99% CI: 1.49-4.33). Conclusion This study highlights a high IBS prevalence (21.4%) in Saudi Arabia's Qassim region. While no overall soda-IBS link was found, males showed a protective effect. Significant associations were noted between food allergy, family history, and abdominal pain with IBS diagnosis, especially among females. Further research on gender disparities and familial and abdominal pain roles in IBS management is warranted.

RESUMO

Background: Symptoms of dyspepsia are usually encountered by chronic kidney disease patients. Abdominal discomfort is commonly seen in CKD patients with no other causes of organic affection. Aim: to determine the prevalence of functional dyspepsia in CKD patients, and which subtype is predominant in them. Materials and patients: This observational study included 150 CKD patients. Clinical and laboratory data were recorded for every patient. All the patients were interviewed using the ROME IV questionnaire of functional dyspepsia. Patients fulfilling criteria for functional dyspepsia were exposed to upper GI endoscopy. Results: Overall, 73 (48.7%) of CKD patients were males and 77 (51.3%) were females with mean age of (45.71 ± 9.59) and mean BMI (26.58 ± 5.39). The frequency of functional dyspepsia among CKD patients was determined to be 14.7% (22 out of 150 patients). Among those affected by functional dyspepsia, the most prevalent subtype was found to be Epigastric Pain Syndrome (EPS), accounting for 59% (13 out of 22 cases). The most common predictor of FD in CKD patients was chronic HCV infection, hemodialysis, stage of CKD and eGFR as revealed by Univariate regression analysis. Conclusion: The prevalence of FD amongst CKD patients is 14.7% with EPS the predominant subtype. Male patients, HCV patients, patients with higher CKD stages and highly impaired eGFR (low eGFR) are more probable to have FD.

RESUMO

AIM: Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) and functional constipation (FC) are the common functional gastrointestinal disorders in adolescents. We aimed to determine the prevalence of FAPDs and FC in adolescents using the Rome IV Questionnaire of Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms and the factors associated with these two functional gastrointestinal disorders. METHODS: A survey for the prevalence of FAPDs and FC in adolescents was carried out at two high schools. A translated and validated Thai version of Rome IV Questionnaire of Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms was used. Potential associated factors were also collected. Psychosocial problems were evaluated by using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 1700 adolescents (55.5% females) with a mean age (SD) of 16.1 (0.9) years were enrolled. The prevalence of FAPDs and FC was 5.3% and 8.1%, respectively. The subtypes of FAPDs were functional dyspepsia (4.7%; postprandial distress syndrome 3.9% and epigastric pain syndrome 0.8%), irritable bowel syndrome (0.6%), abdominal migraine (0.4%) and functional abdominal pain not otherwise specified (0.3%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that FAPDs were associated with female gender (odds ratio (OR) 3.3, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.7-6.4), underlying allergic diseases (OR 3.2, 95% CI: 1.6-6.6) and concomitant emotional problem (OR 2.7, 95% CI: 1.2-5.9). No significant associated factors with FC were found. CONCLUSION: FAPDs and FC are common in adolescents. Postprandial distress syndrome is the most common subtype of FAPD. Associated factors for FAPDs may suggest hormonal, immune-related and psychological involvement in the disease pathogenesis.
