Manning Criteria
The Manning Criteria (pronunciation: /ˈmanɪŋ ˈkraɪtɪriə/) is a set of clinical criteria used in the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The criteria were first proposed by Dr. William Manning and colleagues in 1978.
Etymology
The term "Manning Criteria" is named after Dr. William Manning, a renowned gastroenterologist who contributed significantly to the understanding and diagnosis of IBS.
Definition
The Manning Criteria includes the following symptoms:
- Pain relieved by defecation
- Looser stools at onset of pain
- More frequent bowel movements at onset of pain
- Visible abdominal bloating
- Passage of mucus
- Feeling of incomplete evacuation
The presence of two or more of these symptoms, in the absence of structural or metabolic abnormalities to explain the symptoms, suggests a diagnosis of IBS.
