국내 소아청소년에서 Rome Ⅲ Criteria에 근거한 만성 복통 관련 기능 위장관 질환 연구 = Chronic Abdominal Pain-related Childhood Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Based on the Rome Ⅲ Criteria in Korea

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목 적: Rome Ⅲ 기준을 적용하여 소아청소년 만성 기능 복통 환아들을 진단하고 분류함으로써 각 아형 별 특성에 대한 이해를 도모하여 임상적 적용에 도움을 주고자 하였다.
　방 법: 2006년 7월부터 2007년 8월까지 만성 복통을 주소로 분당서울대학교병원 소아청소년과에 내원한 194명을 대상으로 소아청소년기 복통 설문지를 작성케 한 후 의료진이 문진과 진찰을 통해 설문답안을 수정하고 의학적 검사를 시행하여 기질적 질환을 배제한 후 전향적으로 시행하였다.
　결 과: 전체 194명 중 복통 관련 기능 위장관 질환으로 확인된 환자는 167명(86.1%)이었으며, 평균 연령은 9.1±3.2세, 복통의 유병기간은 2개월부터 85개월로 평균 17.6±16.2개월이었고, 이 중 기능 소화불량이 49명(29.3%)으로 가장 많았으며, 과민 대장증후군이 43명(25.7%), 복성 편두통이 13명(7.8%), 소아기 기능 복통이 45명(27.0%), 소아기 기능성 복통증후군이 21명(12.6%)이었다. 복통과 연관된 기능 위장관 질환의 진단 기준에 해당하지 않아 미분류된 환아는 17명(10.2%)이었다. 다른 아형들에 비해 소아기 기능 복통의 발병 연령이 상대적으로 낮고 진단 시까지의 유병기간이 짧았다(p＜0.05).
　결 론: Rome Ⅲ 기준은 소아청소년 복통 관련 기능 위장관 질환의 평가에 좀더 포괄적이며 쉽게 적용할 수 있고 더 정확한 정보와 진단을 제공하여 임상적으로 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Chronic abdominal pain is a common complaint encountered in pediatric clinics. This study aimed to investigate chronic functional abdominal pain in Korean children and adolescents by applying the Rome III criteria.
Methods: A prospective study on chronic abdominal pain in 194 patients was conducted between July 2006 and August 2007. The parents of the subjects were asked to respond to a questionnaire based on the Rome Ⅲ criteria. These responses were evaluated by pediatricians, and subsequently, the patients were clinically evaluated.
Results: On the basis of the results of the medical evaluation, 167 of the 194 patients (86.1%) were diagnosed with functional gastrointestinal disorders, i.e., no organic causes of chronic abdominal pain were detected during the medical evaluation. Of these 167 patients, 89.8% of the patients satisfied one of the Rome Ⅲ criteria, while 10.2% of the patients did not satisfy any of the Rome Ⅲ criteria for chronic abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (functional dyspepsia, 29.3%; irritable bowel syndrome, 25.7%; abdominal migraine, 7.8%; childhood functional abdominal pain, 27.0%; and childhood functional abdominal pain syndrome, 12.6%). Compared to other symptom subtypes, children with childhood functional abdominal pain experienced an earlier onset and a shorter duration of symptoms.
Conclusion: The Rome Ⅲ criteria are more comprehensive; the use of these criteria will provide more accurate information and better diagnoses for children and adolescents with chronic abdominal pain.
