A two-part population-based study investigating the occurrence of infantile colic was undertaken, in which 92% of mothers with newborn healthy infants were reached. In the prospective part 152 mothers ("diary group") registered crying and fussing in their infants during 12 weeks. In the retrospective part 224 mothers ("interview group") were contacted by telephone at an infant age of 5-7 months. The colic occurrence was determined according to four different definitions; the rate varied from 3.3 to 17.1%. The classical "Wessel-type" colic was present in 9.3%. Colic defined as "crying seen as a problem by parent" was present in 12.1% of the "interview group", but in only 3.3% of the "diary group". Some earlier studies may have overestimated colic occurrence. Another possibility is an actual decline. The contributive part of preventive measures is discussed.
开展了一项基于人群的两部分研究，以调查婴儿腹绞痛的发生率，其中联系到了92%有健康新生儿的母亲。在前瞻性部分，152名母亲（“日记组”）记录了其婴儿在12周内的哭闹情况。在回顾性部分，在婴儿5至7个月大时通过电话联系了224名母亲（“访谈组”）。根据四种不同定义确定腹绞痛的发生率；发生率从3.3%到17.1%不等。经典的“韦塞尔型”腹绞痛发生率为9.3%。被定义为“父母认为哭闹是个问题”的腹绞痛在“访谈组”中占12.1%，但在“日记组”中仅占3.3%。一些早期研究可能高估了腹绞痛的发生率。另一种可能性是实际发生率下降。文中讨论了预防措施的作用。
