Five-year follow-up of 263 cases of functional bowel disorder

Figure 1 Patient status. FBD: Functional bowel disorder.

Figure 2 Observed vs expected survival for all functional bowel disease patients. There was no significant difference between the observed and expected survival (P > 0.05).

Figure 3 Incidence of colonic cancer in functional bowel disorder patients and in the general Chinese population. Compared with data from the general Chinese population obtained from 56 cancer registries in 19 provinces of the country, the incidence of colonic cancer was significantly increased in patients with functional bowel disorders (FBDs) (P < 0.01, Fisher’s exact test).
