Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

2351

Results

Among the 2351 analyzed patients (mean age, 51.7 years), 80.7% were females, and 1424 were working.
The annual work productivity loss per patient was estimated to be 1.343 million Yen.
Symptoms that had a statistically significant positive correlation with total work impairment were abdominal discomfort/nausea, abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, and unpredictable defecation timing. Work productivity and daily activity had improved in 71.2% and 72.6% of patients after they received treatment.

Baseline Characteristics

The overall mean age of patients was 51.7+-13.8 years and a majority of them were female (80.7%). The disease duration was 10 years or longer for 63.3% of patients. The mean number of prescribed laxatives was 1.6+-1.0. Of these, the most prescribed laxative was magnesium oxide (70.1%), followed by stimulant laxatives (23.6%) and Chinese herbal medicine (23.4%).

Participant flow

A screening survey was conducted among a total of 187,347 participants. It identified 2,362 patients with chronic constipation meeting the study's eligibility criteria. Subsequently, sample exclusion was carried out in accordance with the predefined data cleaning standards. As a result, six patients were excluded since they had incomprehensible or inappropriate free-text response, and five patients were excluded as they reported too many complications which made the reliability of their responses questionable. Therefore, 2,351 patients were included in the analysis.

Adverse events

Not evaluated.

Outcome measures

The work productivity outcomes included ratio of lost working hours, work impairment ratio and daily activity impairment ratio, correlation between total work impairment ratio or daily activity impairment ratio and each constipation symptom, work productivity outcomes with or without each constipation symptom (ratio of lost work hours, work impairment ratio, daily activity impairment ratio), and changes in degrees of work productivity loss or activity loss from before treatment. Further, the total work productivity loss was calculated by the following formulae: absenteeism, presenteeism, total work productivity loss, activity impairment. Indirect costs were defined as the monetary value of total work productivity loss and calculated by using the estimated overall wages or salaries in Japanese Yen for each patient from the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare.
