Abstract
The aim of the study was to review published evidence and the opinion of practising clinicians on the prevalence and long-term health consequences of functional gastrointestinal symptoms in infants younger than 12 months.
PubMed was searched from inception to November 2014 to find articles reporting the prevalence and long-term health outcomes of infantile colic, regurgitation, functional constipation, functional diarrhoea, and dyschezia in infants younger than <12 months. A questionnaire was sent to practising clinicians worldwide, and a group of 15 international experts met to discuss the likely frequency and longer-term consequences of these symptoms.
The literature search identified 30 studies reporting the prevalence of infantile colic (2%–73%), 13 that of regurgitation (3%–87%), 8 that of functional constipation (0.05%–39.3%), 2 that of functional diarrhoea (2%–4.1%), and 3 that of dyschezia (0.9%–5.6%). The studies varied in design, populations investigated, and definition of the symptoms. Questionnaires were received from 369 respondents. The experts agreed that the likely prevalences for colic, regurgitation, and functional constipation were 20%, 30%, and 15%, respectively. The limited data in the literature for functional diarrhoea and dyschezia suggest prevalences <10%. Infantile colic may be associated with future health problems in a subset of infants.
Functional gastrointestinal symptoms appear to occur in a significant proportion of infants younger than 12 months and may have an impact on future health outcomes. Prospective collection of data according to agreed criteria is needed to obtain more accurate estimates of the prevalence and consequences of these symptoms.

Various definitions and classification or diagnostic criteria for these disorders have been developed, including the Rome III criteria published in 2006 (<xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>). Practical algorithms for managing many of these symptoms have also been published (<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>). The real frequency of these symptoms among young infants, however, remains uncertain (<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>), as do their consequences for future health. The aim here was to review published evidence and the opinion of practising clinicians on the prevalence and long-term health consequences of functional GI symptoms in infants of age <12 months.</p><sec sec-type="methods"><title>METHODS</title><p>PubMed was searched from inception to November 2014 to find articles reporting the prevalence in population-based studies of infantile colic (including crying and fussing), regurgitation, functional constipation, functional diarrhoea, and dyschezia in infants younger than 12 months, as well as the longer-term effects on children's health. Intervention studies were not included.</p><p>A questionnaire was sent to general paediatricians, paediatric gastroenterologists, and other health care professionals involved with the care of infants and their families worldwide, asking them what criteria they used to diagnose the conditions under consideration, what they considered the local prevalence to be, and whether they had any unpublished local data. The questions for the survey were constructed by the lead author (Y.V.) and discussed with the coauthors. When consensus was reached, the questionnaire was distributed to practising clinicians via the authors, national societies of paediatrics and paediatric gastroenterology, and the “bulletin board” (a worldwide electronic communication tool for paediatric gastroenterologists) using the online SurveyMonkey tool. The total number of questionnaires distributed is unknown. Publications suggested by respondents were added to the literature search findings. Finally, a group of 15 international experts in the field met to discuss the data and to reach a consensus on the likely prevalence and longer-term consequences of these frequent GI symptoms, and to identify areas where more data are needed.</p></sec><sec><title>PREVALENCE OF FUNCTIONAL GI SYMPTOMS AT 0 TO 12 MONTHS</title><p>The characteristics and findings of studies reporting the prevalence of functional GI symptoms in infants age <12 months are summarised in supplemental Tables S1–S5.

Of these, 18 were prospective studies; the rest were cross-sectional or retrospective surveys (supplemental Table S1).

In a recent US cross-sectional study, the prevalence of dyschezia according to Rome III criteria was 2% among infants younger than 12 months (<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>). A French prospective study found a prevalence of 5.6% at 0 to 6 months (<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>).

For most of the symptoms, many of the prevalence studies were conducted several decades ago; the study designs, populations studied and definitions used make it difficult to compare studies and draw firm conclusions. The reported prevalences varied widely: from 2% to 73% (30 studies) for infantile colic, 3% to 87% (12 studies) for infant regurgitation, and 0.1% to 39% (8 studies) for functional constipation; few studies used the Rome III criteria for these symptoms (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>). The small number of studies found for functional diarrhoea and dyschezia reported prevalences <10%.</p><p>The findings from the survey among practising clinicians are largely consistent with the average incidence found in the literature. Interestingly, infantile colic and functional diarrhoea were the functional GI disorders that were according to the respondents mainly diagnosed by Rome III criteria. Constipation was diagnosed according to Rome III criteria by only approximately 20% of the respondents, and the biggest gap in usage of standardised diagnosis was for dyschezia, which was not perceived by approximately 80% of the respondents as a separate diagnostic entity. Examination of any regional differences revealed by the survey responses, and comparison with published regional data, may be considered as the next step in this project.</p><p>On the basis of the evidence available, the experts considered that the likely worldwide prevalences according to Rome III criteria are approximately 20% for infantile colic, 30% for regurgitation, and 15% for functional constipation. The limited data for functional diarrhoea and dyschezia suggest prevalences <10%, but the latter in particular is not well understood. In the future, collection of reliable data on all these symptoms according to agreed criteria is required, to obtain a more accurate estimate. Infantile colic appears to be associated with future health problems such as GI disorders, migraine, and behavioural/developmental problems. Evidence for future problems associated with the other symptoms is lacking, but it seems that early management of constipation may be important.</p><p>Although this review has considered several functional GI symptoms separately in terms of prevalence and future health outcomes, there is overlap between the various symptoms in practice. For example, a recent study looking at the effects of a novel infant formula found that colic at 4 weeks of age was associated with flatulence, abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhoea, and regurgitation (<xref rid="R79" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>). In a survey about functional GI disorders performed among 273 paediatricians (<xref rid="R80" ref-type="bibr">80</xref>), 2747 infants ages between 0 and 6 months (mean age 6.9 weeks, exclusively formula fed) were studied. Only a single functional GI symptom was present in 602 infants (regurgitation in 63.8%, colic in 20.5%, constipation in 9.1%), but several symptoms were combined in 2145 infants. The most frequent associations seen in the infants were bloating and colic (36.2%), regurgitation and colic (22.4%), and bloating with regurgitation (9.7%). As assessed with a French quality of life scale (QUALIN), the infants were more uncomfortable when at least 2 symptoms were combined than when there was a single symptom (5.9 vs 6.5, <italic>P</italic> < 0.001) (<xref rid="R80" ref-type="bibr">80</xref>).</p><p>Another factor that needs to be taken into account is feeding—whether an infant is breast-fed or formula-fed, and which type of formula is used, will influence the development of functional GI symptoms. For example, a study in the Netherlands found that breast-fed infants had more frequent, softer stools in the first 3 months of life than did infants fed standard formula (<xref rid="R81" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>). Average daily defecation frequency decreased significantly during the first 3 months (from 3.65 to 1.88 times/day), whereas no significant changes were observed in infants fed standard formula or mixed feeding. Many of the studies discussed here date from before the introduction of infant formulas containing prebiotic and probiotic agents. New ingredients introduced in the past 10 years may have had an impact on the prevalence and outcome of some of the symptoms discussed. In colicky infants, trying a nonallergic diet for a short time followed by a challenge has been shown to be of benefit in some studies (<xref rid="R82" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>).</p><p>In conclusion, the functional GI symptoms considered here appear to occur in a significant proportion of infants younger than 12 months old (possibly up to 30%) and may have an impact on future health outcomes. Collection of reliable data in prospective studies and according to agreed criteria is needed to obtain more accurate estimates of the prevalence and consequences of these common symptoms.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD1"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="docx" xlink:href="jpga-61-531-s001.docx" xlink:type="simple" id="d35e806" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD2"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="jpga-61-531-s002.docx" xlink:type="simple" id="d35e814" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD3"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="jpga-61-531-s003.docx" xlink:type="simple" id="d35e822" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD4"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="jpga-61-531-s004.docx" xlink:type="simple" id="d35e830" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD5"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="jpga-61-531-s005.docx" xlink:type="simple" id="d35e838" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD6"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="jpga-61-531-s006.docx" xlink:type="simple" id="d35e846" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="financial-disclosure"><p>Financial support was received from Danone Nutricia Early Life Nutrition.
