The present study aimed to investigate whether IBS patients with FD show higher levels of psychopathology than those without FD. As a preliminary analysis, it also evaluated the psychopathological differences, if any, between IBS patients featuring the two Rome III-defined FD subtypes, i.e. postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Consecutive outpatients (n = 82, F = 67, mean age 41.6 \u00b1 12.7 years) referred to our third level gastroenterological centre, matching the Rome III criteria for IBS and, if present, for concurrent FD, were recruited. They were asked to complete a 90-item self-rating questionnaire, the Symptom Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90-R), in order to assess the psychological status. Comparisons between groups were carried out using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patients with IBS only were 56 (68.3%, F = 43, mean age 41.6 \u00b1 13.3 years) and patients with both IBS and FD were 26 (31.7%, F = 24, mean age 41.8 \u00b1 11.5 years), 17 of whom had PDS and 9 EPS. Patients with both IBS and FD scored significantly higher on the SCL-90-R GSI and on eight out of the nine subscales than patients with IBS only (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> ranging from 0.000 to 0.03). No difference was found between IBS patients with PDS and IBS patients with EPS (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> ranging from 0.07 to 0.97), but this result has to be considered provisional, given the small sample size of the two subgroups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>IBS-FD overlap is associated with an increased severity of psychopathological features.
