Abstract Background/Aims Chronic constipation (CC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in the general population. Although there are many treatment options, achieving a stable treatment for CC remains one of the challenges in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical factors associated with stable treatment for CC in Japanese patients. Methods A retrospective, cross-sectional, and multicenter study was carried out. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they fulfilled the Rome IV criteria for diagnosing CC and had been treated for at least one and a half years. Patients with up to two prescription modifications for CC in one year were defined as the stable treatment group, whereas those with three or more prescription changes were defined as the unstable treatment group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to identify factors associated with CC. Results A total of 114 patients have been recruited. There were 82 patients (77.0%) in the stable treatment group and 32 patients (23.0%) in the unstable treatment group. Based on multivariate likelihood analysis, only using acid-suppressive drugs contributed to stability treatment in CC patients (odds ratio: 2.81, 95% confidence interval: 1.12–7.08, p = 0.03). Conclusion Administration of acid-suppressive drugs was the only factor related to the stability of CC treatment. Further studies are needed to validate the results as well as clarify the causes. |
