Note: Dutch GI Symptom tracker, gastrointestinal symptom tracker.
Scores are standardized on a 0-to-100 scale; higher scores indicate more
symptoms/problems over the past week.
CFQ-R, Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire, revised. Scores are standardized
on a 0-to-100 scale; higher scores indicate less symptoms/problems over
the past week.
As hypothesized, GI symptoms were significantly, positively
associated with elevated symptoms of anxiety, depression and worse
HRQoL, see Table 4. More GI ‘Eating Challenges’ were significantly
associated (p <0.001) with elevated symptoms of anxiety and
worse ‘Role Functioning’ and ‘Digestive Symptoms’. More GI ‘Stools’ were
significantly associated with elevated symptoms of anxiety and
depression and worse ’Physical Functioning’, ‘Social Functioning’, ‘Role
Functioning’ and ‘Digestive Symptoms’. More GI ‘Adherence Challenges’
were significantly associated with worse ‘Role Functioning’ and
‘Vitality’. GI ‘Abdominal Symptoms’ were not significantly associated.
