Abstract

The prevalence of functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGDs) in adolescents of 11-18 years old in school (500 individuals) and in a specialized gastroenterology unit (141 individuals), identified by questioning the Russian-language version of the QPGS - RIV questionnaire (Questionnaire on Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms, Rome IV Version) was analyzed. As a result, the prevalence of FGDs in school was as follows: functional dyspepsia (FD) - 5.3%, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) - 0.6%, abdominal migraine (AM) - 1.0%, functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) - 0.2%, functional constipation (FC) - 5.3%. In the study profile of recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) among children in hospital, FD was 73.6%, IBS - 22.6%, FAPS - 3.8%, 17% of children had both FD and IBS. Compared to the previous version, according to the new criteria, instead of IBS, the FD diagnosis prevailed (due to a decrease of the criterion for the prevalence of pain syndrome, as well as the inclusion of postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) for diagnosis), and the IBS incidence rate decreased threefold (due to the new limiting criteria). Keywords: adolescents, recurrent abdominal pain, functional gastrointestinal diseases, prevalence, ROME IV.
