Our study aims to assess improvement with symptomatic treatment of pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in a biopsychosocial construct and evaluate validity of Rome III criteria. Children with chronic abdominal pain diagnosed with an FGID or organic disease were followed for 1 year: 256/334 were diagnosed with an FGID and 78/334 were diagnosed with a possible organic disease due to alarm signs or not meeting Rome III criteria. After 1 year, 251 had true FGID and 46 had organic diseases. Ninety percent of FGID patients improved with symptomatic treatment over an average of 5.4 months. With a 95% confidence interval, Rome criteria predicted FGIDs with sensitivity 0.89, specificity 0.90, positive predictive value 0.98, and negative predictive value 0.59. We conclude that symptomatic treatment of pain-related FGIDs results in clinical improvement and could reduce invasive/expensive testing. Rome III criteria’s high specificity and positive predictive value suggest they can rule in a diagnosis of FGID.
