- Title
Irritable bowel syndrome according to varying diagnostic criteria: are the new Rome II criteria unnecessarily restrictive for research and practice?
- Authors
Boyce, P M; Koloski, N A; Talley, N J
- Abstract
It has been suggested that the variation in the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be due to the application of different diagnostic criteria. New criteria for IBS have been proposed (Rome II). It is unknown whether persons meeting different criteria for IBS have similar psychological and symptom features. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of IBS according to Manning and Rome definitions of IBS and to evaluate the clinical and psychological differences between diagnostic categories.
