“…Enrolment based on Rome criteria alone could readily bias an unblinded sonographic assessment. Moreover, clinical constipation corelates poorly with faecal loading, with a previous study of over 400 patients revealing no difference in radiology findings between symptomatic and asymptomatic adult patients 83–85 . The make and models of machines were different across many studies as well as the technical expertise of the operator, which was not always consistently reported, two factors which can affect the accuracy of the reported values.…”

“…Moreover, clinical constipation corelates poorly with faecal loading, with a previous study of over 400 patients revealing no difference in radiology findings between symptomatic and asymptomatic adult patients. [83][84][85] The make and models of machines were different across many studies as well as the technical expertise of the operator, which was not always consistently reported, two factors which can affect the accuracy of the reported values. However, the strength of this work is that it is the first review that has not only managed to statistically analyse the currently available data, but also summarise the available descriptive data in an area that lacks standardised reporting and validation.…”

“…Bowel constipation is subdivided into primary and secondary set of causes. Primary bowel constipation is a functional disorder attributed to inadequate dietary habits, physical inactivity, low socioeconomic status and psychological changing behavior 24,25 . Secondary bowel contipation is related to endocrine and neurological disorders or overuse of constipating substances.…”

“…used by clinicians in assessing the severity of FL or stool burden in certain populations and clinical settings. 9,[20][21][22][23] Despite the controversies on its usefulness in clinical practices, [24][25][26] using abdominal X-ray in assessing stool burden is reliable among X-ray readers and clinicians, 9,23,25 and is considered one of the tools in evaluating patients with a chief complaint of constipation. 8 Additionally, an abdominal X-ray can be useful in clarifying uncertain situations, such as excessive bowel frequency resulting from excessive fecal burden.…”
