Overview

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be classified according to Rome IV criteria into four sub-types: IBS with predominant constipation , IBS with predominant diarrhea, IBS with mixed bowel habits, and unclassified IBS. In addition, IBS occurring subsequent to GI infections is known as post infectious-IBS or PI-IBS. The rationale behind these different sub-types is to maintain consistency of patient selection. This increases understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, aids in effective diagnosis, treatment, and patient recruitment for clinical trials.

Classification

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be classified according to Rome IV criteria into 4 sub types based on predominant stool type:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

  • IBS with predominant constipation
  • IBS with predominant diarrhea
  • IBS with mixed bowel habits: alternating patterns of stool passage which is not in conjuncture with the normal bowel movements.
  • IBS unclassified: Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria for IBS but whose bowel habits do not fit into any of the above subtypes.

IBS-PI or post infectious IBS. It is an additional sub type described that is acute in onset and occurs subsequent to an infectious illness of the GI tract. It is characterized by two or more of the following: vomiting, fever, positive stool culture or diarrhea.[7]

SUBTYPE HARD OR LUMPY STOOLS LOOSE(MUSHY) OR WATERY STOOLS
IBS with constipation ≥ 25 percent  ≤ 25 percent
IBS with diarrhea  ≤ 25 percent ≥ 25 percent
Mixed IBS ≥ 25 percent ≥ 25 percent
Unsubtyped IBS Insufficient abnormality of stool consistency to meet criteria for IBS with constipation, diarrhea, or mixed subtypes.
