pubmed:abstractText |
Although colonoscopy is rarely of clinical use in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it is, nonetheless, frequently performed in IBS. Proponents contend that a normal colonoscopy provides reassurance and improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, no previous data have measured these effects. We sought to measure the association of a normal colonoscopy with reassurance and HRQOL in patients with IBS aged <50 years.
