The Rome III Classification of Dyspepsia: Will It Help Research?

Abstract: A major change in the Rome III criteria relates to the condition previously called functional dyspepsia (FD). Rome I and Rome II defined FD as pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen without a definite structural or biochemical explanation. The condition was further sub-classified into ulcer-like or dysmotility-like dyspepsia. However, subsequent studies failed to show that single-symptoms are present in the vast majority of patients, and most symptoms failed to correlate with any physiological abnorm… Show more

“…The term "dyspepsia" has been confusing in the past. Patients do not use the term and physicians have variable interpretations, minimizing its usefulness (7,14). The difficulty in differentiating between dyspepsia and GERD symptoms was also reported; a recent paper revealed an over-diagnosis of GERD and under-diagnosis of functional dyspepsia in a US community.…”

“…Therefore, some degree of overlap between GERD and FGIDs would appear inevitable, by chance alone due to the given high prevalence rate. Indeed recent data show that patients with GERD suffer more commonly from FGIDs 7-9…”

“…A number of treatment strategies have been evaluated for FD, with acid-suppressive therapy being potentially effective for EPS and prokinetics for PDS [10]. However, the level of evidence for the efficacy of these approaches is low, and in particular there is a lack of prokinetic drugs of proven value for this condition.…”
