| “unchanged” subjects on Global GI Well‐Being scale (n = 67) | V1 mean ± SD | V2 mean ± SDa | p Valueb | ICC (95% CI)b |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global score (GS) | 34.84 ± 14.21 | 35.02 ± 15.26 | 0.989 | 0.85 (0.78 ; 1) |
| Global score (except BL) | 33.85 ± 15.14 | 33.99 ± 15.56 | 0.909 | 0.82 (0.75 ; 1) |
| Bloating (BL) | 39.80 ± 22.27 | 40.00 ± 20.94 | 0.746 | 0.86 (0.76 ; 1) |
| Flatulence (FL) | 47.64 ± 23.49 | 46.26 ± 25.02 | 0.728 | 0.79 (0.69 ; 1) |
| Belching (BE) | 33.36 ± 27.07 | 37.57 ± 27.90 | 0.498 | 0.80 (0.71 ; 1) |
| Bad breath (BB) | 20.67 ± 23.08 | 20.30 ± 21.48 | 0.651 | 0.82 (0.74 ; 1) |
| Stomach rumbling (SR) | 30.07 ± 25.24 | 31.08 ± 27.43 | 0.721 | 0.79 (0.68 ; 1) |
| Difficult gas evacuation (DGE) | 37.50 ± 22.93 | 36.94 ± 25.14 | 0.736 | 0.71 (0.51 ; 1) |
a
During the 2nd completion, there were FL missing items for 1 patient preventing to calculate the corresponding FL score and the Global scores.
b
Wilcoxon rank test for paired samples and ICC concerned 67 subjects except for FL, and Global scores where 66 subjects could be analyzed.
