Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the association between the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Subjects and Methods: A total of 123 patients diagnosed with IBS based on the Rome IV criteria were recruited at Hanoi Medical University Hospital from August 2024 to May 2025. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with organic gastrointestinal or endocrine diseases and those who declined participation. Data Collection Method: Structured questionnaire and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: The mean age was 44.75 ± 15.03 years; females accounted for 58.5%, and 58.5% resided in rural areas. Abdominal pain (70.7%) was the most common symptom. IBS subtypes included IBS-U (31.7%), IBS-M (26.8%), IBS-D (23.6%), and IBS-C (17.9%). Depression levels: no depression (53.6%), mild (13.8%), moderate (10.6%), and severe depression (22%). Association between IBS and depression: A statistically significant difference was observed between IBS subtypes and depression severity (p < 0.001). The IBS-M subtype had the highest rate of severe depression (36.4%), while IBS-U had the highest rate of no depression (87.2%). Conclusion: There is a clear association between IBS subtypes and depression severity, particularly in the mixed subtype (IBS-M).
