Adherence of Swedish primary health care practitioners to diagnostic guidelines for IBS

Adherence to IBS diagnostic guidelines in Swedish primary care seems to be limited among both GPs and non-GPs. The documented use of Rome criteria is minimal, and guideline-compliant laboratory testing is insufficient. Increased awareness and structured implementation of IBS diagnostic criteria are warranted.

Abstract

Adherence to IBS diagnostic guidelines in Swedish primary care seems to be limited among both GPs and non-GPs. The documented use of Rome criteria is minimal, and guideline-compliant laboratory testing is insufficient. Increased awareness and structured implementation of IBS diagnostic criteria are warranted.
