Reduction in IBS symptom severity is not paralleled by improvement in quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a brain‐gut disorder, of which the natural course varies between patients and is difficult to predict. This study aimed to evaluate symptom evolution over a 5‐year follow‐up period and to identify baseline predictors for symptom severity and quality of life (QoL) at follow‐up.
