摘　　要：To the Editor:Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)is one of the most common adult functional gastrointestinal disorders(FGIDs),with an estimated global prevalence of 1.5–11.2%.The prevalence rates for anxiety and depressive symptoms and disorders underscore the psychological impact on IBS patients,emphasizing the need for comprehensive diagnostic tools tailored to specific populations.[1]The main diagnostic reference for IBS is the Rome criteria which is now the standard practice for IBS diagnosis worldwide.The most recent iteration is Rome IV[Supplementary Table 1,http://links.lww.com/CM9/C102].Despite its broad acceptance,validation studies demonstrated that the Rome criteria only performed modestly in diagnosing IBS and,in clinical practice,Rome criteria are not commonly used.The overlap between the symptoms of IBS and FGIDs must be considered in the diagnosis of IBS and should be taken into consideration in the development of symptom-based diagnostic tools.
