    Rome IV Diagnostic Criteria for Functional Pancreatic Sphincter of Oddi Disorder (SOD)

    Official Rome IV criteria for the diagnosis of functional pancreatic sphincter of oddi disorder.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Use in patients with recurrent episodes of pancreatitis with characteristic pain and appropriate lab elevations. Other common etiologies of pancreatitis must be excluded with a negative endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). 

    Do NOT use in patients with:

    • Pancreatic type pain without objective evidence of pancreatitis.
    • Single episode of idiopathic pancreatitis.
    • Gallstones or sludge on imaging.
    • Culprit drugs associated with pancreatitis (including over the counter, supplements, narcotics).
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Use in patients with recurrent episodes of pancreatitis with characteristic pain and appropriate lab elevations. Other common etiologies of pancreatitis must be excluded with a negative endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).

    • Diagnosis can only be made after thorough investigation has been performed excluding other more common causes of pancreatitis.

    • A normal EUS is required to make this diagnosis. Sphincter of Oddi manometry may be considered and if done, it should be abnormal. 

    • Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) with measurement of pancreatic duct before and after intravenous secretion could be considered but has not been validated.

    • Role of pancreatic sphincterotomy in pancreatic sphincter of Oddi disorder is unclear.

    • Helps to provide a diagnosis and treatment strategy in patients with recurrent debilitating pancreatitis otherwise without explanation.

    • Helps guide conversations with patients regarding treatment option that has both procedural risk but also potential therapeutic benefit if criteria met.

    Must have the following:

    The Rome Foundation

    About the Creator

    The Rome Foundation is an independent not for profit 501(c) 3 organization that provides support for activities designed to create scientific data and educational information to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), also known as functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Their mission is to improve the lives of people with DGBI. Over the last 3 decades, the Rome organization has sought to legitimize and update our knowledge of the DGBIs. This has been accomplished by bringing together scientists and clinicians from around the world to classify and critically appraise the science of GI function and dysfunction. This knowledge permits clinical scientists to make recommendations for diagnosis and treatment that can be applied in research and clinical practice. Diagnosis is based on the use of symptom-based criteria which are used in clinical trials and daily practice. The list of Rome IV categories and the Chair and Co-Chair of each chapter committee are listed below.
