Rome criteria
The Rome criteria are criteria for diagnosing functional disorders of the human digestive system . They are determined according to the Delphi method by experts in the field of gastroenterology at a consensus conference in Rome.
The first, so-called Rome I criteria, were published in 1992 (irritable bowel syndrome) and 1994 (other functional disorders of the digestive tract) as the result of an international meeting of specialists in the field of gastroenterology in Rome . Another meeting took place in 1998 at which, among other things, definitions and diagnostic criteria for functional dyspepsia ( irritable stomach) and irritable bowel syndrome were established. The results of this meeting, published in 1999, were known as the Rome II criteria. In 2006 the criteria were again adapted to the current research results and referred to as the Rome III criteria. The most recent version of the Rome Criteria, the Rome IV Criteria, was published in print and online in 2016.
