Description

For sample persons ages 18 and over who had abdominal pain 3 or more times in the past 12 months, and did not report a non-digestive condition as the cause of such pain, ABPANSEVYR indicates the severity of the abdominal pain caused by the condition identified in ABPSELCON. Respondents were instructed to rate the pain when it was at its worst in the past 12 months on a scale from 1 to 10, were 1 is mild, and 10 is the most severe.

 

This variable is part of the Abdominal Pain section of the Digestive Disease Supplement, introduced in the 1989 survey. This supplement focuses on digestive conditions, primarily during the previous 12 months, to provide data for prevalence estimates on certain common digestive disorders and complaints. The Abdominal Pain section provides data to compare diagnosed and undiagnosed irritable bowel syndrome, and to describe pain accompanying this or other conditions that affect the abdomen.
