LOINC description : The Questionnaire on Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms-Rome III Version (QPGS-RIII)*
is an adaptation and abbreviation of the Questionnaire on Pediatric Gastrointestinal
Symptoms (QPGS) (Walker, Caplan-Dover, & Rasquin-Weber, 2000; Walker et al., 2005)
that was developed with the support of a grant from the Rome Foundation and that has
undergone preliminary validation (Caplan, Walker, & Rasquin, 2005a, 2005b). The QPGS-RIII
is an adaptation and abbreviation of the original QPGS. It was developed with input
from the Rome III Child and Adolescent Committee and the Rome III Questionnaire Committee.
Although the format and many items from the original QPGS have been retained, several
new items have been included, and the scoring has been revised to reflect changes
in symptom criteria based on Rome III. The questionnaire uses five-point scales to
measure frequency, severity, and duration of symptoms. In addition, it may be scored
to assess whether a patient meets the criteria for each of the individual functional
gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). The questionnaire is followed by a coding system
that identifies provisional diagnoses from the responses to the questions. The QPGS-RIII
cannot substitute for the medical evaluation, and clinical judgment required for an
accurate diagnosis. *Developed by Lynn S. Walker, Arlene Caplan, and Andree Rasquin.
This questionnaire should be completed by the parent of a young child, aged 4 years
old through 9 years old. Please see the adolescent and adult version of this questionnaire
for ages 10 years old and over. The Gastrointestinal Working Group recommends performing
serology for celiac sprue in patients with diarrhea.;
