Rome IV Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders and Health Impairment in Subjects With Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders or Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Ching Y. Lam et al.

Summary: Individuals with HSD/hEDS have a high prevalence of Rome IV FGIDs, with factors such as number of somatic symptoms, quality of life, and healthcare utilization playing a role. Treatment of somatic symptoms related to FGIDs should be emphasized in patients with HSD/hEDS to reduce the burden of gastrointestinal illness.

Constipation Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Functional Constipation Are Not Discrete Disorders: A Machine Learning Approach

James K. Ruffle et al.

Summary: Machine learning analysis of a large prospective cohort of patients with chronic constipation revealed that irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and functional constipation (FC) only differ significantly in the presence of abdominal pain, suggesting that they may not be distinct syndromes but rather a single syndrome varying along a single clinical dimension. This has implications for patient recruitment into clinical trials, future disease classifications, and management guidelines.

Clinical Impact of Rectal Hyposensitivity: A Cross-Sectional Study of 2,876 Patients With Refractory Functional Constipation

Paul F. Vollebregt et al.

There is a linear relationship between the number of elevated sensory thresholds and the severity of constipation, and RH is significantly associated with defecation symptoms and physiological investigations.
