Abstract
Introduction: The functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGD) in school have a worldwide prevalence of 30%. Objective: to determine the prevalence of FGD by the Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptom Survey in Spanish Rome III and identify possible partnerships. Methodology: an observational cross-sectional descriptive study in 154 schools in a private school in Bogotá, Colombia. Were considered variables such as age and symptoms. Statistical analysis included estimation of the prevalence of FGD in schoolchildren and their corresponding confidence interval 95%, the estimation of other descriptive measures of interest and association analysis by multiple logistic regression. Results: in this population of students (average age 12 years), we found a prevalence of 27,3% of FGD, the most frequent functional constipation (FC) and less common cyclic vomiting syndrome, functional dyspepsia and the syndrome adolescent rumination. In the analysis of association was found for FC greater opportunity to symptoms such as fecal impaction. Eventually associated factors were age and history of abdominal feces palpation. Conclusion: about a third of the students showed FGD, the most frequent FC, and this was associated with the age and history of abdominal feces palpation.
