Systematic review: the perceptions, diagnosis and management of irritable bowel syndrome in primary care - A Rome Foundation Working Team Report
Original language description
ObjectiveTo review studies on the perceptions, diagnosis and management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in primary care. MethodsSystematic searches of PubMed and Embase. ResultsOf 746 initial search hits, 29 studies were included. Relatively few primary care physicians were aware of (2-36%; nine studies) or used (0-21%; six studies) formal diagnostic criteria for IBS. Nevertheless, most could recognise the key IBS symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating and disturbed defaecation. A minority of primary care physicians [7-32%; one study (six European countries)] preferred to refer patients to a specialist before making an IBS diagnosis, and few patients [4-23%; three studies (two European, one US)] were referred to a gastroenterologist by their primary care physician. Most PCPs were unsure about IBS causes and treatment effectiveness, leading to varied therapeutic approaches and broad but frequent use of diagnostic tests. Diagnostic tests, including colon investigations, were more common
