Abstract

Objectives
To test two methods for reporting of fecal incontinence (FI) in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Methods
Consecutive patients from IBD clinics in six UK hospitals completed a short three item case-finding survey about FI; they either completed the survey themselves or were asked the same questions face to face by a clinician.

Results
Of 1336 eligible patients with complete data (48% male; mean 43 years; 55% Crohn’s disease, 41% ulcerative colitis), 772 were asked about FI face-to-face, and 564 self-completed the sur-vey: FI was reported in 63% and 56% respectively (p=0.012). In regression analyses, those aged 51-60, having Crohn’s disease and higher disease activity were more likely to report FI. Of all respondents, 38.7% were interested in receiving help for their incontinence.

Conclusions
Fecal incontinence affects the majority of people with IBD. Although more patients reported fecal incontinence when asked face-to-face than self-reported, routine screening by either method in clinical practice is recommended. Over one third of patients with IBD want help for bowel control problems.
