Baseline Characteristics

The mean age was 74.5 +- 13.3 years, men accounted for 51.1% of the patients (159/311 patients), and the mean duration of CC was 1.4 +- 2.5 years. The mean number of types of prior laxatives was 2.4 +- 1.3 and conditions were present in 95.8% (298/311) of the patients.

Participant flow

Of 844 patients who received elobixibat at the hospital between April 19, 2018 and June 30, 2022, 311 patients were enrolled, excluding 453 patients with missing data for the frequency of bowel movements before and after elobixibat and 80 patients who had not previously used prescribed laxatives.

Adverse events

The incidence of adverse events was 6.1% (19/311 patients, 20 events), comprising 3.9% (12/311) diarrhea, 1.6% (5/311) abdominal pain, 0.6% (2/311) abdominal distention, and 0.3% (1/311) nausea.

Outcome measures

Following elobixibat treatment, the mean weekly SBM rate increased significantly from 2.9 +- 1.9 times/week at baseline to 4.3 +- 1.9 times/week at Week 2 (p<0.0001). The mean BSFS score improved significantly from 3.2 +- 1.7 at baseline to 4.4 +- 1.4 at Week 2 (p<0.0001), with a decrease and an increase in the percentages of patients with hard stools and normal stools, respectively. Improvements in the sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation, straining, abdominal pain and distention, and difficulty defecating were statistically significant (p<0.05). Constipation symptoms were improved irrespective of patient characteristics or previous therapy. On average, 43.9% of previously used laxatives were discontinued at the start of or after starting elobixibat treatment. The treatment was well tolerated.
