AbstractTo evaluate the agreement between the Rome III and Rome IV criteria in diagnosing pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), we conducted a prospective cohort study in a public school in Cali, Colombia. Children and adolescents between 11 and 18 years of age were given the Spanish version of the Questionnaire on Pediatric Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Rome III version on day 0 and Rome IV version on day 2 (48 h later). The study protocol was completed by 135 children. Thirty-nine (28.9%) children were excluded because of not following the instructions of the questionnaire. The final analysis included data of 96 children (mean 15.2 years old, SD ± 1.7, 54% girls). Less children fulfilled the criteria for an FGID according to Rome IV compared to Rome III (40.6% vs 29.2%, p=0.063) resulting in a minimal agreement between the two criteria in diagnosing an FGID (kappa 0.34, agreement of 70%). The prevalence of functional constipation according to Rome IV was significantly lower compared to Rome III (13.5% vs 31.3%, p<0.001), whereas functional dyspepsia had a higher prevalence according to Rome IV than Rome III (11.5% vs 0%).Conclusion: We found an overall minimal agreement in diagnosing FGIDs according to Rome III and Rome IV criteria. This may be partly explained by the differences in diagnostic criteria. However, limitations with the use of questionnaires to measure prevalence have to be taken into account. What is Known:• The Rome IV criteria replaced the previous Rome III criteria providing updated criteria to diagnose functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs).• Differences found between Rome IV and historic Rome III FGID prevalence may have been affected by changes in prevalence over time or differences in sample characteristics. What is New:• We found a minimal agreement between Rome III and Rome IV FGID diagnosis, especially in the diagnoses of functional constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and functional dyspepsia.• The minimal agreement may be partly explained by changes in diagnostic criteria, but limitations with the use of questionnaires to measure prevalence have to be taken into account.

Abstract Background The prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in children, particularly from Asia, is largely unknown. There are not many studies done in Asia especially using the Rome IV criteria. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of FGIDs in infants and young children in a representative sample in China. Methods A prospective, cross-sectional, community-based survey was conducted among healthy infants and young children between the ages of 0–4 years in Jinhua and Shanghai, China. A total of 2604 subjects (1300 subjects from Jinhua and 1304 subjects from Shanghai) completed a validated questionnaire on pediatric gastrointestinal symptoms. FGIDs in infants and young children were diagnosed using the Rome IV criteria. Results According to the Rome IV criteria, the prevalence of having a FGID in Chinese infants and young children is 27.3%. Infant regurgitation (33.9%) was the most common FGID among the 0–6 months old while functional constipation (7.0%) was the most common among the 1–4 years old. Risk factor analysis revealed that prevalence of infantile colic was higher with better maternal education and low birth weight. Prevalence of infantile regurgitation was significantly greater in males, living in a rural area, being exclusively breast fed at least up to 4 months and starting formula feeds within the first month. The risk of functional constipation was lower for infants who were delivered vaginally. Conclusions Infantile regurgitation was the most common FGID in Chinese infants while functional constipation was most prevalent among young Chinese children.

Background: The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in infants aged up to 12 months according to the new ROME IV criteria defining these disorders, and to describe the management of FGIDs in France. Methods: This French non-interventional, cross-sectional, and multicenter study was conducted among private-outpatient physicians who each included four consecutive patients aged up to 12 months. The frequency of FGIDs was described using the ROME IV criteria versus clinicians’ diagnosis. The characteristics of infants with and without FGID were compared, and the management of the FGIDs was described. Results: In the 1722 infants analyzed, the following frequencies were observed according to the ROME IV criteria versus the physicians’ diagnosis: regurgitation 41% versus 45%; colic 18% versus 30%; constipation 9% versus 19%; diarrhea 3% versus 8%. Of note, FGID infants were less frequently exclusively breastfeeding at the maternity hospital (p < 0.001), were introduced to cow’s milk earlier after leaving the maternity hospital (p < 0.001), and more frequently had symptoms suggestive of cow’s milk protein allergy (p < 0.001). Physicians frequently recommended an adapted infant formula (in 77% to 82% of cases depending on the FGID diagnosed) and prescribed a specific treatment in 51% to 66% of infants (probiotics: 35% to 64%). Conclusions: This real-world study confirms the high frequency of FGIDs in infants in France, and provides new information regarding the characteristics of FGID infants.

Aim: to study the possibilities of online surveys for mothers using a questionnaire on the basis of the Rome IV criteria (2016) as a screening for functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) in infants and toddlers. Patients and Methods: an anonymous online survey of 477 mothers was conducted regarding the health condition of their children under the age of 4 years. The survey consisted of 2 question pools. The first pool included general questions regarding the age of the mother at the time of delivery, obstetric and gynecological history, feeding of an infant/toddler at the time of the survey. The second pool included questions regarding FGID in infants and toddlers on three separate topics: functional disorders of the first year of life; diagnosis of cyclic vomiting syndrome; bowel movement disorder. Results: among 130 infants, regurgitation was in 50% of cases (at the age of 6 months — in 75%, at the age of 6 to 12 months — in 35%), baby colic — in 49%. The incidence of functional constipation in children under 6 months was 5.8%, from 6 to 12 months — 7.6%, gradually increasing by 3–4 years to 21.5%. Toilet skills were taught to 15 (12%) children aged 1 year — 1 year 11 months, 58 (59%) — at the age of 2 years — 2 years 11 months, and 119 (98%) — at the age of 3 years — 3 years 11 months. Mothers who were unaware of their child’s physical development and/or defecation problems accounted for 20.1% of those who took part in the survey. Conclusion: online survey results of mothers coincide with modern statistical data on FGID disorder. The survey results generally reflect the anatomical and physiological patterns of the child’s GI development. Online survey on the detection of FGID in infants/toddlers allows to make a preliminary diagnosis, identify existing problems and determine further patient management tactics.
