With the support of Dr Enrico Corazziari representing Dr Aldo Torsoli, Dr Douglas A Drossman, a member of the original IBS Working Team, set up another working team to create a classification system with diagnostic criteria for all of the FGIDs. 1, 2 This IBS Working Team was the starting point for the Rome process that later generated consensus-based criteria for other disorders without an anatomical or structural basis. This was chaired by Prof W Grant Thompson from Canada and published in 1989. One committee was established to develop for the first time diagnostic guidelines for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The purpose was to answer difficult questions using a consensus methodology through the Delphi approach about a group of gastrointestinal disorders that had little scientific-based evidence to understand etiology pathophysiology and treatment at the time. As new evidence become available, future updates are expected.įunctional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) classification and diagnostic criteria began in the late 1980s, when a group of international experts were recruited by Professor Aldo Torsoli from Italy to develop Working Teams for the International Gastroenterology meeting in Rome 1988.
The new Rome IV iteration is evidence-based, multicultural oriented and with clinical applications. Clinical applications such as diagnostic algorithms and the Multidimensional Clinical Profile have been updated. Functional bowel disorders ( functional diarrhea, functional constipation, IBS with predominant diarrhea, IBS with predominant constipation, and IBS with mixed bowel habits) are considered to be on a continuum rather than as independent entities.
Pain is now related to bowel movements rather than just improving with bowel movements (ie, can get worse with bowel movement). For irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS) only pain is required and discomfort was eliminated because it is non-specific, having different meanings in different languages. Using a normative survey to determine the frequency of normal bowel symptoms in the general population changes in the time frame for diagnosis were introduced. Also, new FGIDs based on available evidence including reflux hypersensitivity and centrally mediated abdominal pain syndrome. New disorders have been included although not truly FGIDs, but fit the new definition of DGBI including opioid-induced gastrointestinal hyperalgesia, opioid-induced constipation, and cannabinoid hyperemesis. There are new chapters including multicultural, age-gender-women’s health, intestinal microenvironment, biopsychosocial, and centrally mediated disorders. Rome IV has a multicultural rather than a Western-culture focus. FGIDs are now called disorders of gut-brain interaction ( DGBI). The aim is to review the main changes in Rome IV. Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are diagnosed and classified using the Rome criteria the criteria may change over time as new scientific data emerge.
