Studi kaitkan obat IBS umum dengan risiko kematian jangka panjang yang lebih tinggi

Para peneliti di Cedars-Sinai menganalisis catatan kesehatan selama hampir 20 tahun dari lebih dari 650.000 orang dewasa di AS yang menderita sindrom iritasi usus besar (IBS), menemukan hubungan antara pengobatan tertentu dengan peningkatan mortalitas. Antidepresan dikaitkan dengan risiko kematian 35% lebih tinggi, sementara loperamide dan diphenoxylate menunjukkan risiko sekitar dua kali lipat dibandingkan dengan mereka yang tidak menggunakannya. Perawatan IBS lainnya seperti obat yang disetujui FDA dan antispasmodik tidak menunjukkan peningkatan risiko tersebut.

Studi yang diterbitkan dalam Communications Medicine ini menguji keamanan jangka panjang perawatan untuk IBS, sebuah kondisi kronis yang memengaruhi sekitar 10% penduduk Amerika. Dipimpin oleh Ali Rezaie, MD, direktur medis Program Motilitas GI di Cedars-Sinai, penelitian ini mengisi kesenjangan yang ditinggalkan oleh uji klinis jangka pendek, yang biasanya berlangsung kurang dari satu tahun meskipun pasien sering kali menggunakan obat selama beberapa dekade. Rezaie mencatat, 'Banyak pasien didiagnosis menderita IBS pada usia muda dan mungkin tetap mengonsumsi obat selama bertahun-tahun.'

A small study of adults undergoing screening colonoscopy found that people who reported using smartphones while sitting on the toilet were more likely to have hemorrhoids detected during the procedure. The research, published in PLOS One, also found phone users spent longer on the toilet than non-users, though the authors cautioned the results show an association rather than proof that phones cause the condition.
