---|---|
Purpose | diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome |
The Manning criteria are a diagnostic algorithm used in the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The criteria consist of a list of questions the physician can ask the patient. [1] The answers are used in a process to produce a diagnostic decision regarding whether the patient can be considered to have IBS.
The Manning criteria have been compared with other diagnostic algorithms for IBS, such as the Rome I criteria, the Rome II process, and the Kruis criteria. [2] A 2013 validation study found the Manning criteria to have less sensitivity but more specificity than the Rome criteria. [3]
The threshold for a positive diagnosis varies from two to four of the Manning criteria below. [4]
