背景技术背景:虽然症状问卷提供了排便习惯的快照,但它们可能无法反映日常变化或肠道症状与粪便形态之间的关系。目的:通过每日日记评估有和无功能性肠病的女性的排便习惯。方法:从明尼苏达州奥姆斯特德县的一项基于社区的调查中,278名随机选择的女性接受了胃肠病学家的采访,完成了肠道症状问卷调查受试者还保持2 wk.Results肠日记:在278名受试者中,问卷调查显示腹泻(26%),便秘(21%),或两者都没有(53%)。无症状受试者报告肠道症状(例如,紧急性)很少(即,< 25%的时间),通常用于硬或稀便。对于软的、成形的粪便的紧迫感(即,布里斯托型= 4)在腹泻(31%)和便秘(27%)受试者中的患病率高于正常受试者(16%)。大便形状、排便开始(比值比[OR] 4.1,95%置信区间[CI] 1.7-10.2)和排便结束(OR 4.7,95% CI 1.6-15.2)时用力增加便秘的几率。排便困难(OR 3.7,95% CI 1.2-12.0)、排便频率增加(OR 1.9,95% CI 1.02-3.7)、排便不完全(OR 2.2,95% CI 1.04-4.6)和直肠紧迫感(OR 3.1,95% CI 1.4-6.6)增加了腹泻的几率。相比之下,粪便的频率和形式的变化是没有用的健康和diseases.CONCLUSIONS:肠道症状的发生与粪便形式的障碍,但只有部分解释。这些观察结果支持了其他病理生理机制在功能性肠道疾病中的作用。(Am J Gastroenterol 2008;103:692-698)。
BACKGROUND: While symptom questionnaires provide a snapshot of bowel habits, they may not reflect day-to-day variations or the relationship between bowel symptoms and stool form.AIM: To assess bowel habits by daily diaries in women with and without functional bowel disorders.METHOD: From a community-based survey among Olmsted County, MN, women, 278 randomly selected subjects were interviewed by a gastroenterologist, who completed a bowel symptom questionnaire. Subjects also maintained bowel diaries for 2 wk.RESULTS: Among 278 subjects, questionnaires revealed diarrhea (26%), constipation (21%), or neither (53%). Asymptomatic subjects reported bowel symptoms (e.g., urgency) infrequently (i.e., < 25% of the time) and generally for hard or loose stools. Urgency for soft, formed stools (i.e., Bristol form = 4) was more prevalent in subjects with diarrhea (31%) and constipation (27%) than in normals (16%). Stool form, straining to begin (odds ratio [OR] 4.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7-10.2) and end (OR 4.7, 95% CI 1.6-15.2) defecation increased the odds for constipation. Straining to end defecation (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2-12.0), increased stool frequency (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.02-3.7), incomplete evacuation (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.04-4.6), and rectal urgency (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.4-6.6) increased the odds for diarrhea. In contrast, variations in stool frequency and form were not useful for discriminating between health and disease.CONCLUSIONS: Bowel symptoms occur in association with, but are only partly explained by, stool form disturbances. These observations support a role for other pathophysiological mechanisms in functional bowel disorders.(Am J Gastroenterol 2008;103:692-698).
