CURRENT ASPECTS OF THE ETIOLOGY AND CLINIC OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The problem of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most urgent in pediatric gastroenterology. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence, etiological structure, and clinic of IBS depending on age. We examined 200 children from 5 to 16 years old who attended an outpatient appointment with a gastroenterologist. The results obtained made it possible to form a differentiated approach to the clinic depending on etiological factors and the age of children with IBS. This study allows for early prevention of IBS, optimization of the examination plan and rational therapy.
