Introduction. Functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) overlap is an adverse clinical situation, as patients with this syndrome have more severe clinical manifestations resulting in significant reductions in quality of life. For now, there are no meta-analytical papers that would summarize the frequency of FD – IBS overlap using the revised Rome IV criteria. Objective. To organize data on the prevalence of FD – IBS overlap using the revised Rome IV criteria.Materials and methods. A search for studies was conducted in MEDLINE / PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane electronic databases. The search depth was 6 years (from January 2016 to February 2021). The final analysis included original publications from peerreviewed periodicals that used the revised Rome IV criteria as a method for diagnosing FD and IBS in the adult population with detailed descriptive statistics allowing to include resulting data in the meta-analysis.Results and discussion. The final analysis included 6 studies involving 1,180 patients with PD and 600 patients with IBS. The generalized prevalence of IBS in patients with PD was 41.511% (95% CI: 22.203–62.288). The analysis was undertaken by using a random-effects model, as there was significant heterogeneity among results (p < 0.0001; I2 = 94.28%). The generalized prevalence of PD in patients with IBS was 38.791% (95% CI: 9.438–73.710). The analysis was undertaken by using a random-effects model, as there was significant heterogeneity among results (p < 0.0001; I2 = 99.25%).Сonclusion. The complete meta-analysis showed that the frequency of FD - IBS overlap using the revised Rome IV criteria is quite high and accounts for about 40%. At the same time, further large studies of more homogeneous structure are needed to verify these results and study the potential pathogenetic relationship between PD and IBS.
