A long-term follow-up study (minimum of five years) of 161 children with recurrent abdominal pain disclosed that three had organic disease and that was missed--inflammatory bowel disease. Anorexia nervosa developed in one patient. Three fourths of the patients recovered from the initial symptom; most recovered within a few weeks; but some patients continued to have complaints for a number of years. Approximately 20% of patients underwent additional surgical or medical treatments of doubtful necessity. In 18% of patients, other psychosomatic symptoms developed.
一项对161名复发性腹痛儿童进行的长期随访研究（最短五年）发现，有3名儿童患有器质性疾病且被漏诊——炎症性肠病。有1名患者患上了神经性厌食症。四分之三的患者最初症状消失；大多数在几周内康复；但一些患者多年来仍有不适。约20%的患者接受了必要性存疑的额外手术或药物治疗。18%的患者出现了其他心身症状。
