Clinical Characteristics of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Individuals With Abdominal Bloating/Distention
Sponsor: Shandong University
Summary
Abdominal bloating/distention represents a prevalent clinical manifestation characterized by an unclear etiology and pathogenesis. This symptomatology is frequently observed in various conditions, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). The utilization of the breath test as a non-invasive diagnostic approach has become widespread in recent years for identifying SIBO. In this study, the prevalence of SIBO irregularities in individuals presenting with abdominal bloating/distention was ascertained through the implementation of the breath test. Furthermore, the correlation between abdominal bloating/distention and SIBO was analysed to enhance the elucidation of the underlying etiology of abdominal bloating/distention. These findings aim to offer valuable insights for refining clinical comprehension and strategies related to the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal bloating/distention.
