Brief Summary

Observational Prospective Study to Describe Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the Russian Federation

Detailed Description

Awareness about the disease in Russia is extremely low both among doctors and especially among patients. To date there are no data on the prevalence of the disease in Russia. This is the first study to show patient profile, main trigger factors and concomitant diseases among patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in Russia. Also treatment characteristics for these patients in Russia will be measured. This study fills a lack of scientific data about prevalence of IBS and additional information.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Findings of routine examination6 months

proportion of patients with confirmed IBS by routine examination among all patients met Rome IV criteria

Routine treatment regimensBaseline, 6 months

Proportion of patients received each treatment

Adherence to treatmentup to 6 months

The national questionnaire of treatment compliance contains 5 questions with 4 answers each. The sum of all items is used to calculate the total score. The total score has the range from 0 (worst compliance) to 15 (best compliance).

ComorbidityBaseline

Proportion of patients with different diagnosis registered at baseline

Assesment by Global Patient Assessment scale1, 2, 4, and 6 months

Global Patient Assessment contains one question to rate up patient's general complaints of GI-discomfort. A 5-point Likert scale is used as follow: 'symptom-free, markedly improved, slightly improved, unchanged, worse'.

Absolute score of the IBS symptoms measured by IBS-QoL scaleBaseline, 1, 2, 4, and 6 months

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Quality Of Life (IBS-QOL) questionnaire contains 34 questions assessed from 1 point = "not at all" till 5 point = "a great deal". The sum of all items is used to calculate the total score. All items are negative framed with the greatest response scale equaling the worst QoL. Scores for all items are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, ranging from 0 (worst QoL) to 100 (best QoL).

Changes from baseline of the IBS symptoms measured by IBS-QoL scaleBaseline, 1, 2, 4, and 6 months

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Quality Of Life (IBS-QOL) questionnaire contains 34 questions assessed from 1 point = "not at all" till 5 point = "a great deal". The sum of all items is used to calculate the total score. All items are negative framed with the greatest response scale equaling the worst QoL. Scores for all items are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, ranging from 0 (worst QoL) to 100 (best QoL). Positive change corresponds to better outcome.

Assesment by Physician Global Assessment scale1 and 6 months

Physician Global Assessment contains one question to rate up patient's general complaints of GI-discomfort. A 5-point Likert scale is used as follow: 'symptom-free, markedly improved, slightly improved, unchanged, worse'.
