Taiwan: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at a higher risk for all three subtypes of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs): gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and functional dyspepsia, says a recent study.
The nationwide population-based study published in the journal Respiratory Medicine was conducted by Tzuo-Yun Lan, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan, and colleagues with an objective to determine the association between COPD and future development of FGIDs.
