Abstract: Objective To explore quality of life and its risk factors in patients with refractory irritable bowel syndrome(RIBS). Methods 601 IBS patients in gastroenterology clinic and 100 healthy volunteers were invited to complete irritable bowel syndrome- symptom severity scale (IBS-SSS), the Hamilton Rating Scale of Anxiety/ Depression (HAMA/HAMD), Irritable bowel syndrome-quality of life(IBS-QOL). And multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the determinants of quality of life in patients with RIBS. Results The overall score and subscale scores of IBS-QOL in RIBS group were lower than those in the non-RIBS and healthy group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the overall scores of IBS-QOL among different subtypes of RIBS. However, the interference with activities, health anxious, social reaction scores were different among the subtypes (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that quality of life in RIBS was independently associated with the scores in IBS-SSS and HAMA. Conclusion Quality of life in RIBS is obviously decreased. Quality of life in RIBS is closely related to clinical symptoms and anxiety condition.
