Abstract
Aim. To perform comparative analysis of visceral sensitivity index (VSI) of patients with previously diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and of patients with IBS symptoms after COVID-19 infection.
Materials and methods. The study was carried out on the basis of University Clinical Hospital №1; 200 patients with COVID-19 infection were examined. Selection criteria were the recommendations of the Rome Consensus IV (2016). Fourteen patients met the criteria for IBS (Rome IV). Forty patients with a verified diagnosis of IBS before the COVID-19 pandemic (Group 2) were selected as a comparison group. The control group included 50 healthy respondents (group 3). Group 1 included 14 patients; Group 2 included 40 patients (54 patients in total): 37 women and 17 men. The control group included 50 patients: 23 men and 27 women. VSI was estimated in the studied groups.
Results. No statistically significant difference of VSI index (p>0.05) was revealed while comparing two studied groups (group 1 and group 2). In group 1 and group 2 the mean values of VSI were 24.57±5.47 and 33.98±2.55 respectively. Absence of significant differences allows to assume from the position of biopsychosocial model that the patients were initially predisposed to IBS development.
Conclusion. A new coronavirus infection is one of the triggers for the development of IBS 6 months after COVID-19 infection.
