Irritable bowel syndrome: pathogenesis and management

Thompson, W.G.·1993·The Lancet

Abstract

An international working team defined the irritable bowel syndrome as distinct from other functional bowel disorders. Symptom criteria for the irritable bowel syndrome are known as the Rome criteria. Since there is no pathophysiological marker for any of these syndromes we must rely on symptoms for their definition and classification. The Rome nosology is a step towards better understanding of functional gastrointestinal disorders because the disparate syndromes are likely to have different causes and treatments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
