All patients maintained a daily bowel symptom diary, and subjective assessments by the patient of symptom severity and stool consistency were made at every fortnightly visit.
Describe the severity and the consistency of the feelings.
This study demonstrates that there is a relationship between CTT and abdominal symptom severity, stool consistency, and frequency of bowel movements.
However, we believe our study is strengthened by the large cohort and by the observation of a dose-response gradient and consistency between severity of early hypoglycemia and mortality across several a priori planned subgroups.
The lubiprostone-treated group showed significant improvement in SBMs/week, constipation severity, stool consistency, abdominal discomfort, and straining.
There was no evidence of any differences between the groups in clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain severity, average stool consistency and number of days with stool consistency type 6 7 (table 3).
The severity of steatosis was evaluated based on liver appearance, colour and consistency [ 58].
Primary outcome was stool frequency and consistency, classified at different levels of diarrhoea severity.
38 In several multi-center RCTs, lubiprostone, when compared to placebo, has consistently shown to increase complete spontaneous bowel movements per week, as well as improved stool consistency, straining, constipation severity and patient-reported treatment effectiveness.
We used the Bristol stool scale as an objective measure of stool frequency and consistency and classified these symptoms at different levels of diarrhoea severity.
