Publisher: | SAGE Publications Inc. | Abstract: | The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the influencing factors in children aged 4 to 9. The cross-sectional descriptive study included 1176 children between the ages of 4 and 9 who applied for Family Medicine Centers between March 1, 2017 and April 30, 2017 for various reasons. Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms Questionnaire, Roma III Version (QPGS-RIII) was applied to the volunteers (children’s parents or caregivers), and Beck Anxiety Scale was applied to the mothers accompanying their children. A total of 603 (51.9%) of the children included in the study were female and 559 (48.1%) were male. When the applied QPGS-RIII was evaluated with IBS diagnostic criteria, IBS was found in 137 children and IBS frequency was found to be 11.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]). Significant differences were found in socioeconomic level, eating habits, TV-watching habits, and IBS status (P <.05). © The Author(s) 2023. | Description: | Article; Early Access | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1177/00099228231204455 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14365/4923 |
