We report on long-term follow-up [mean (SD) duration, 44.7 (4.3) mo] of 48 out of 132 children with recurrent abdominal pain, who were a part of an earlier study at our hospital. 31 (64.5%) children still experienced pain; 26 (54.1%) reported their pain to be better than before, 4 children reported it to be same as before, and one child reported it worse than before. 17 out of 31 children had pain fitting into one of the categories of functional gastrointestinal disorders in the Rome III criteria; most commonly functional abdominal pain (n=6) and functional constipation (n=3). In majority of children with functional recurrent abdominal pain, pain may persist over the next 3–4 years, but shows slight improvement in frequency and severity.

我们报告了132例复发性腹痛患儿中48例的长期随访[平均（SD）持续时间，44.7（4.3）mo]，这是我们医院较早研究的一部分。31名（64.5％）儿童仍然感到疼痛；26名（54.1％）报告他们的疼痛比以前好，4个孩子报告与以前相同，而一个孩子报告疼痛比以前更严重。31名儿童中有17名疼痛符合罗马III级标准，属于功能性胃肠疾病之一；最常见的是功能性腹痛（n = 6）和功能性便秘（n = 3）。在大多数患有功能性腹痛反复发作的儿童中，疼痛可能会在接下来的3-4年内持续存在，但在频率和严重程度方面会有所改善。
