There are few prospective, detailed studies on factors such as time lost from work and symptoms after colonoscopy. This study prospectively measured postcolonoscopy symptoms in patients using a diary and compared them to precolonoscopy symptoms and mood collected via questionnaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 10 Italian hospitals, among 793 patients, 361 (45.5%) reported at least 1 GI symptom in the 7 days after colonoscopy, including 202 (25.5%) with 1 GI symptom and 159 (20.1%) with \u22652 symptoms. The most common symptoms were bloating (32.2%), pain (17.3%), and dyspepsia (17.9%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postcolonoscopy symptoms were associated with female sex (odds ratio [OR], 2.54), history of inflammatory bowel disease (OR, 3.25), presence of symptoms during bowel preparation (OR, 1.35), and somatic symptoms (OR, 1.27). Better mood predicted a lower risk of symptoms after colonoscopy (OR, 0.74). The ORs for 1 symptom and multiple symptoms after colonoscopy in the highest risk category (women with somatic symptoms and poor mood) compared with the lowest risk category (men without somatic symptoms and with good mood) were 11.0 and 8.81, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
