Sponsor's own description

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most commonly diagnosed functional bowel disorders (FBD). IBS is diagnosed by symptom-based criteria,while the available literature suggests that symptom-based diagnostic algorithms, which often used for clinical and research studies, have poor sensitivity. Although diagnostic algorithms can discriminate IBS from health or upper gastrointestinal tract conditions, studies do not provide convincing evidence that the criteria can discriminate IBS from organic disease of the colon. Rectal bleeding, anemia, weight loss, fever, family history of colon cancer, and age above 50 years are considered the warning signs of severe gastrointestinal disease. Colonoscopy is the most direct way to rule out organic colonic diseases. There is no consensus so far on whether patients with suspected IBS lacking warning signs need colonoscopy or not. In 2016, the Rome IV criteria was updated and published. However, there are few studies on the clinical practice based on Rome IV. The value of alarm symptoms in discriminating organic disease from functional disorders remains uncertain and further research is needed. To evaluate the predictive value of alarm symptoms of IBS patients based on Roman IV, the investigators designed this cross-sectional study.
