Introduction: Defecatory disorders are common affecting up to 8% of the population. Rome IV diagnostic criteria are used to define this condition and therefore select patients for the gold standard therapy, anorectal biofeedback. The aim of this study was to test the current Rome IV FDD criteria in a real-world population by utilizing the response to biofeedback as a validation tool.
