Abstract
The PACCT criteria show greater applicability than the Rome II criteria for FDDs. The poor agreement implies that they do not identify the same types of patients. Because such a high percentage of constipated children reported the symptoms of defecation with straining, scybalous pebble-like stools, and painful defecation, including these symptoms in any revised criteria should be taken into consideration.
