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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes from baseline of the IBS symptoms measured by IBS-QoL scaleBaseline, 1, 2, 4, and 6 monthsIrritable 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.
Adherence to treatmentup to 6 monthsThe 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).
Assesment by Physician Global Assessment scale1 and 6 monthsPhysician 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'.
