Abstract

The aim of this multicentre inquiry was to evaluate the prevalence of sexual abuse among IBS patients consulting a gastroenterologist, in comparison to healthy controls and patients with organic digestive diseases. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; Rome Criteria) were included by eight university hospitals (n = 196; 41.2 +/- 20.6 years; sex ratio (M/F) = 0.23).

Each patient filled in an anonymous questionnaire, without help. Prevalence of sexual abuse in the various groups was compared by the chi 2 test. Sixty-two instance of sexual abuse (55 females, 7 males) were recorded among the 196 IBS patients (31.6%); 8 cases of verbal aggression, 4 of exhibitionism, 11 of sexual harassment, 22 sexual touches, 17 rapes. The prevalence of sexual abuse was 14.0% for the patients with organic digestive diseases (P = 0.0005 vs. IBS), 12.5% among ophthalmology patients (P < 0.0001) and 7.6% in healthy ...Continue Reading
