Our objectives were to compare the frequency of alexithymia and the alteration of quality of life in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and to determine the factors associated with alexithymia and quality of life deterioration.
This is a comparative study which collected 80 IBS patients and 80 controls.
Quality of life was impaired in 75% of patients vs 37.5% (p < 0.0001). The prevalence of alexithymia was 50% in patients vs 1.2% (p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, an impaired quality of life was associated with alexithymia (p = 0.003). The factors associated with impaired quality of life were anxiety and alexithymia.
Alexithymia was present in half of patients with IBS and its was associated with impaired quality of life.
我们的目标是比较肠易激综合征(IBS)患者述情障碍的发生率和生活质量的改变,并确定与述情障碍及生活质量恶化相关的因素。
这是一项比较研究,收集了80例IBS患者和80例对照。
75%的患者生活质量受损,而对照组为37.5%(p<0.0001)。患者中述情障碍的患病率为50%,而对照组为1.2%(p<0.0001)。多因素分析显示,生活质量受损与述情障碍相关(p=0.003)。与生活质量受损相关的因素为焦虑和述情障碍。
半数IBS患者存在述情障碍,且与生活质量受损相关。
