Demographics, BAD diagnostic tests, and surrogate markers in patients with IBS-D with elevated primary bile acids (BAs, >10%) and normal 48h total fecal BAs.
The units for N (total number of people) and sex are the number of females and males. Median (IQR) is the unit for the remaining continuous variables.
