Total and segmental colonic transit time in patients with irritable bowel syndrome reporting bowel urgency (IBS-U) or not (IBS-NoU) in relation to at least 1 defecation during the 3 days of the test. Mean values + SD. *P < .001; °P < .003.

3. Figure 2
Rectal compliance (mean values + SD of volume/pressure ratios: mL/mm Hg) in healthy subjects (HS) and patients with irritable bowel syndrome reporting bowel urgency (IBS-U) or not (IBS-NoU), at the level of distention tolerated by all subjects during volume- or pressure-controlled distentions. The rectum of the IBS-U patients was less compliant than that of the healthy subjects or IBS-NoU patients (*P < .017).

Relationship between threshold volume for the sensation of urgency and colonic transit time in IBS patients reporting urgency (solid circles) or not (open circles). The significance of the association between 2 variables was borderline (Rs = 0.374; P = .052).
