Abdominal pain-related disorders of gut-brain interaction (AP-DGBI) affect a sizable portion of the population. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common forms of AP-DGBI. Identifying risk and protective factors is the first step in better understanding and managing the disease. This systematic review aimed to determine clinical risk and protective factors for the presence and persistence of AP-DGBI in children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The review included 348 studies. Only fully published studies with a control group were included, and studies deemed poor quality (using a validated scale) were excluded. Whenever possible, a meta-analysis generated pooled odds ratios or mean difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Risk factors for the development of AP-DGBI in adults and children included female sex, gastroenteritis, abuse, stress, psychological disorders, somatic symptoms, and poor sleep. In adults, additional risk factors included obesity, smoking, and increased use of medical resources, whereas protective factors included social support and optimism. No studies on protective factors for children were found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
