Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and depression are frequent disorders in medical practice. There is a high frequency of psychiatric diagnosis in IBS. The objectives of this study are to describe prevalences of lower gastrointestinal symptoms (IBS) and of depressive symptoms on hospitalized patients in Arzobispo Loayza Hospital and to study the relationship between those symptoms. We did a transversal study of prevalence of lower gastrointestinal symptoms and of depressive symptoms and a case-control analysis to study the relationship between the already described symptoms. We interviewed 282 patients, and in every interview the Rome II criteria and Beck's self evaluation scale, were described. We found a 67.4% of cases with depressive symptoms and a 31.9% of IBS symptoms. There was found a significant association in 24.1% of patients between depressive and lower gastrointestinal symptoms (p<0.05). We conclude the depressive symptoms and lower gastrointestinal symptoms have a high frequency in hospitalized patients and that there is a significant association between them.
肠易激综合征（IBS）和抑郁症是医学实践中常见的病症。肠易激综合征患者中精神疾病诊断的频率很高。本研究的目的是描述洛亚萨大主教医院住院患者的下消化道症状（肠易激综合征）和抑郁症状的患病率，并研究这些症状之间的关系。我们对下消化道症状和抑郁症状的患病率进行了横断面研究，并进行了病例对照分析以研究上述症状之间的关系。我们采访了282名患者，每次采访都介绍了罗马II标准和贝克自评量表。我们发现67.4%的病例有抑郁症状，31.9%的病例有肠易激综合征症状。在24.1%的患者中发现抑郁症状和下消化道症状之间存在显著关联（p<0.05）。我们得出结论，住院患者中抑郁症状和下消化道症状的发生率很高，且它们之间存在显著关联。
