Abstract in brief

  • This umbrella review analyzed 69 systematic reviews to identify risk factors for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), finding that female gender, anxiety disorders, depression, and gastroenteritis are the most commonly reported.
  • Many of the reviews were of low or critically low quality, often lacking detailed methodology and bias assessment, which affects the reliability of the findings.
  • The study highlights the need for future research to follow standardized reporting guidelines like PRISMA and suggests that clinical practice should focus on recognizing these key risk factors for better management of IBS.]
