BACKGROUND: Only a few recent reports have suggested a correlation between @entity28 and @entity1744 ( @entity1744 ). We aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of @entity1744 in a prospective cohort of @entity28 @entity1 undergoing bariatric surgery in Nice Hospital (France). METHODS: One @entity28 @entity1 were included prospectively before bariatric surgery. A diagnosis of @entity1744 and each subtype was performed according to Rome-III criteria using a Bristol scale for stool consistency. @entity1 provided information on @entity1744 -related comorbidities, including chronic fatigue, @entity2704 , @entity615 , @entity354 ( @entity354 ), genitourinary problems, and @entity2210 . @entity1 completed questionnaires to assess the severity of @entity1744 , @entity354 , psychological factors ( @entity148 , @entity308 ), fatigue, and quality of life. RESULTS: Thirty @entity1 fulfilled the Rome-III criteria for @entity1744 . There was no difference in age, gender, or BMI between @entity28 @entity1 with or without @entity1744 . @entity28 @entity1 with @entity1744 reported a significantly higher prevalence of @entity354 , @entity2704 , @entity615 , genitourinary problems, chronic fatigue, and @entity2210 . @entity28 @entity1 with @entity1744 had significant higher scores of fatigue, @entity148 , @entity308 , and poorer quality of life. @entity28 @entity1 that had both @entity1744 and @entity354 had significantly higher @entity1744 severity scores than those without @entity354 . In a logistic regression model including BMI, @entity148 , @entity308 , gender, and @entity354 score, only @entity148 was significantly and independently associated with @entity1744 . CONCLUSIONS: Thirty percent of @entity28 @entity1 had @entity1744 : its severity was not correlated with BMI. However, @entity148 was independently associated with @entity1744 , suggesting that psychological factors are key features of @entity1744 , whatever the presence of @entity28 .
