Purpose: With previous methods based on only age and location, there are many difficulties in identifying the etiology of acute abdominal pain in children. We sought to develop a new systematic classification of acute abdominal pain and to give some helps to physicians encountering difficulties in diagnoses. Methods: From March 2005 to May 2010, clinical data were collected retrospectively from 442 children hospitalized due to acute abdominal pain with no apparent underlying disease. According to the final diagnoses, diseases that caused acute abdominal pain were classified into nine groups. Results: The nine groups were group I “catastrophic surgical abdomen” (7 patients, 1.6%), group II “acute appendicitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis” (56 patients, 12.7%), group III “intestinal obstruction” (57 patients, 12.9%), group IV “viral and bacterial acute gastroenteritis” (90 patients, 20.4%), group V “peptic ulcer and gastroduodenitis” (66 patients, 14.9%), group VI “hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease” (14 patients, 3.2%), group VII “febrile viral illness and extraintestinal infection” (69 patients, 15.6%), group VIII “functional gastrointestinal disorder (acute manifestation)” (20 patients, 4.5%), and group IX “unclassified acute abdominal pain” (63 patients, 14.3%). Four patients were enrolled in two disease groups each. Conclusion: Patients were distributed unevenly across the nine groups of acute abdominal pain. In particular, the “unclassified abdominal pain” only group was not uncommon. Considering a systemic classification for acute abdominal pain may be helpful in the diagnostic approach in children.
