Resumen
OBJECTIVES. To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with constipation in postmenopausal women and evaluate the level of agreement between different diagnostic criteria. METHODS. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 postmenopausal women more than 45 old. The Rome II criteria, stool frequency per week and patient self-evaluation were the diagnostic criteria applied. Social demographic and clinical characteristics with their descriptive analysis were assessed. Subsequently, kappa (ê) statistics was used to assess the level of agreement between diagnostic criteria. The association between constipation and its possible determinants was studied by bivariate and multivariate analyses, using the prevalence ratio (PR). The confidence interval was set at 95% (95% CI). RESULTS. The mean age of participants was 58.9±5.9 years (range, 46-76 years). The prevalence of constipation was 47%, 37% and 26%, according to patient self-evaluation, the Rome II criteria and < 3 bowel movements per week, respectively. The best agreement found was between patient self-evaluation and the Rome II criteria (k: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.48-0.78). After multivariate analysis, the history of perianal surgery (PR: 2.69; 95%CI: 1.03-7.01), according to the Rome II criteria; the presence of hemorrhoids, according to stool frequency (PR: 2.53; 95% CI: 1.16-5.51) and patient self-evaluation (PR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.01-3.15) were associated with constipation. CONCLUSIONS. Prevalence of constipation in postmenopausal women was high. Agreement between diagnostic criteria ranged from moderate to good. History of perianal surgery and presence of hemorrhoids were associated with constipation. 51 6 334 341 Talley, N.J., Definitions, epidemiology, and impact of chronic constipation (2004) Rev Gastroenterol Disord, 4 (SUPPL. 2), pp. S3-S10 Glia, A., Lindberg, G., Quality of life in patients with different types of functional constipation (1997) Scand J Gastroenterol, 32, pp. 1083-1089 Johanson, J.F., Geographic distribution of constipation in the United States (1998) Am J Gastroenterol, 93, pp. 188-191 Faigel, D.O., A clinical approach to constipation (2002) Clin Cornerstone, 4, pp. 11-21 Pare, P., Ferrazzi, S., Thompson, W.G., Irvine, E.J., Rance, L., An epidemiological survey of constipation in Canada: Definitions, rates, demographics and predictors of health care seeking (2001) Am J Gastrenterol, 96, pp. 3130-3137 Garrigues, V., Galvez, C., Ortiz, V., Ponce, M., Nos, P., Ponce, J., Prevalence of constipation: Agreement among several criteria and evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of qualifying symptoms and self-reported definition in a populational-based study survey in Spain (2004) Am J Epidemiol, 159, pp. 520-526 Lembo, A., Camilleri, M., Chronic constipation (2003) N Engl J Med, 349, pp. 1360-1368 Drossman, D.A., The functional gastrointestinal disorders and the Rome II process (1999) Gut, 45 (SUPPL. 2), pp. II1-II5 Thompson, W.G., Creed, F.H., Drossman, D.A., Heaton, K.W., Mazzacca, G., Functional bowel disorders and functional abdominal pain (1992) Gastroenterol Int, 5, pp. 75-91 Chiarelli, P., Brown, W., McElduff, P., Constipation in Australian women: Prevalence and associated factors (2000) Int Urogynecol J, 11, pp. 71-78 Rekers, H., Drogendjik, A.C., Valkenburg, H.A., Riphagen, F., The menopause, urinary incontinence and others symptoms of the genito-urinary tract (1992) Maturitas, 15, pp. 101-111 Triadafilopoulos, G., Finlayson, M.A., Grellet, C., Bowel dysfunction in postmenopausal women (1998) Womens Health, 27, pp. 55-66 Almeida, P.M., Wickerhauser, H., (1991) O Critério ABA/ABIPEME: Em Busca de Uma Atualização, , São Paulo: Associação Brasileira dos Institutos de Pesquisa de Mercado; Shull, B.L., Clinical evaluation of women with pelvic support defects (1993) Clin Obstet Gynecol, 36, pp. 939-951 (1999) SAS Software Version 8.2, , Cary: SAS Institute Inc Landis, J.R., Koch, G.G., The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data (1977) Biometrics, 33, pp. 159-174 Skov, T., Deddens, J., Petersen, M.R., Endahl, L., Prevalence proportion ratios: Estimation and hypothesis testing (1998) Int J Epidemiol, 27, pp. 91-95 Heaton, K.W., Cripps, H.A., Straining at stool and laxative taking in an English population (1993) Dig Dis Sci, 34, pp. 1004-1008 Andre, S.B., Rodriguez, T.N., Moraes Filho, J.P.P., Constipação intestinal (2000) Rev Bras Med, 12, pp. 53-63 Stewart, W.F., Liberman, J.N., Sandler, R.S., Woods, M.S., Stemhagen, A., Chee, E., Epidemiology of constipation (EPOC) in the United States: Relation of clinical subtypes to sociodemographic features (1999) Am J Gastrenterol, 94, pp. 3530-3540 Snooks, S.J., Barnes, P.R.H., Swash, M., Henry, M.M., Damage to the pelvic floor musculature in chronic constipation (1985) Gastroenterology, 89, pp. 977-981 Swash, M., The neurogenic hypothesis of stress incontinence (1990) Ciba Foundation Symposium 151, , Bock G, Whelan J, editors.
