“…Among the seven studies reporting the prevalence of regurgitation, one (14%) used the Infant Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Questionnaire Revised (I-GERQ-R) ( 19 ), two (28%) used the ROME III criteria ( 4 , 14 ) and three (42%) used the ROME IV criteria ( 10 , 13 , 18 ) and one (14%) used both the ROME III and IV criteria ( 17 ). Among the twelve studies reporting the prevalence of constipation, six (50%) used the ROME III criteria ( 4 , 11 , 14 – 16 , 20 ), five (42%) applied the ROME IV criteria ( 9 , 10 , 13 , 18 ), and one (8%) used both the ROME III and ROME IV criteria ( 17 ).…”

“…The overall prevalence of FGIDs among children aged 0–18 years ranges from 7 to 30% ( 3 , 5 , 8 ). The latest studies reported an estimated prevalence of 31.4% among infants aged 0–1 year coming to pediatric clinics in 10 African countries ( 9 ), 7% among children aged 0–4 years in China ( 10 ) and 22% among children aged 0–5 years in Saudi Arabia ( 11 ). One of the reasons for the differences in the prevalence of FGIDs is the use of different diagnostic criteria.…”

Regurgitation, colic, and constipation are frequently reported Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs) in the first few years of life. In 2016, the diagnostic criteria for FGIDs were changed from ROME III to ROME IV. This review assesses the prevalence of the most frequent FGIDs (colic, regurgitation and constipation) among children aged 0–5 years after the introduction of the later criteria. Articles published from January 1, 2016 to May 1, 2021 were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar using relevant keywords. A total of 12 articles were further analyzed based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This review consists of two studies (17%) from the Middle East, three (25%) from Asia, two (17%) from the USA, three (25%) from Europe, and one (8%) from Africa. Three studies (25%) were based on data obtained from healthcare professionals, while the rest were parent or caregiver reports. About half of the retrieved studies used the ROME IV criteria. Among infants aged 0–6 months, the reported prevalence of colic ranged between 10–15%, whilst that of regurgitation was 33.9%, and constipation was 1.5%. Among infants aged 0–12 months, the reported prevalence of regurgitation and constipation were 3.4–25.9% and 1.3–17.7%, respectively. The reported prevalence of constipation was 1.3–26% among children aged 13–48 months and 13% among children aged 4–18 years. Despite the large variations due to differences in diagnostic criteria, study respondents and age group, the prevalence of infantile colic was higher, while that for infantile regurgitation and constipation were similar using the ROME IV or III criteria.

“…The prevalence of paediatric FC is difficult to determine. It is a global issue, but it varies greatly across geographical regions [6][7][8][9]. Most studies report it to range from 0.5 to 32%, with a global pooled prevalence of 9.5% [7].…”

Background Pharmacological intervention with laxatives is the conventional treatment for functional constipation (FC). Data to support the dietary management of FC is lacking. This study compared the efficacy of two Comfort young child formulas (YCFs) with regards to the maintenance of healthy stooling parameters in toddlers with a history of constipation. It was registered in the Netherlands Trial Registry [identifier: NL7420 (NTR7653)], registration date 20/09/2018. Methods Ninety-five healthy toddlers, aged 12 to 32 months, diagnosed with FC (Rome III criteria) were randomized to receive one of two study formulas after pharmacological treatment. For the first month of the intervention, subjects received a laxative in a decreasing maintenance dose alongside a test or control formula (maintenance phase). Subsequently, subjects only consumed formula for another month (post-maintenance phase). Stooling parameters were obtained weekly using the Bristol Stool Scale and the modified Rome III Questionnaire on Paediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms for infants and toddlers. Differences in percentages of hard stools (primary outcome) and other stooling parameters were analysed using analysis of covariance and Chi-Square methods. Results Both formulas resulted in similar overall percentage of hard stools during the intervention period, respectively 5.02% in the test and 2.99% in the control group (n.s.). In the test group, percentages dropped from 7.11% at the end of the maintenance phase, to 3.92% at the end of the post-maintenance phase. In contrast, the percentage of hard stools in the control group was similar at the end of the maintenance (3.18%) and post-maintenance phase (2.83%; n.s.). No difference was found in the overall stool frequency between groups. At the end of the maintenance phase, only 22% and 19% of toddlers consuming the test and control formulae, respectively, met 2 or more of the criteria for FC. At the end of the study, this percentage of subjects decreased further to 9% in the test group, which tended to be lower compared to the 21% found in the control (p = 0.107). No laxative use was reported in either study group during the post-maintenance phase. Conclusion Both Comfort YCF support the maintenance of improved stooling over time in toddlers with a history of constipation. The percentage of subjects suffering from functional constipation tended to be lower after the intervention period when receiving the formula with intact protein.

“…In pre-school children in Hong Kong, functional constipation (FC) was reported to be 29.3%, whereas, in school children in Taiwan, the prevalence rate was as high as 32%, which was the highest prevalence rate in the world [6,7]. Many other countries such as Sri Lanka (15.4%), Saudi Arabia (22.5%), and China (12.2%) also reported high prevalence rates of FC [8][9][10]. These figures indicate that Asia is a hot bed for childhood constipation compared to the western countries.…”
