Painful Disorders of Gut‐Brain Interaction Are More Associated With Worse Health‐Related Quality of Life and Psychological Disorders Than Non‐Painful Disorders in Latin American Countries
In four Latin American countries, individuals with painful DGBI were more likely to seek healthcare, had worse HRQoL and exhibited greater psychological distress compared to those with non-painful DGBI. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions for individuals with painful DGBI symptoms.
