Résumé

Le syndrome de l’intestin irritable (SII) au sens strict touche environ 5 % de la population françise, mais prés de 70 % des sujets adultes se plaignent de symptômes digestifs fréquents. Le SII est á l’origine de coûts directs modérés (72 á 1 590 € par an et par patient), probablement sous-estimés, mais qui finissent par représenter une dépense de santé importante compte tenu de la fréquence de la maladie et de son caracte`re chronique et récurrent. Les coûts indirects sont mal connus et sans doute plus importants compte tenu du retentissement du SII sur la qualité de vie.

Abstract

Five percent of the French population suffer from true irritable bowel syndrome but almost 70% of adults complain of frequent digestive problems. IBS generates moderate direct costs per subject (72 to 1 590 € a year), which is more than likely an underestimate, but this is a significant health cost considering the frequency of the disease and its chronic and recurrent nature. Indirect costs are difficult to assess but are certainly significant considering the impact of irritable bowel syndrome on quality of life.
