    Subject selection and prevalence of dyspepsia and functional dyspepsia (subgroups) according to the Rome III classification in the Kalixanda study. The graph illustrates the selection of subjects for endoscopy and the prevalence of dyspeptic symptoms and of functional dyspepsia subgroups according to the Rome III definitions of PDS and EPS. Associations of PDS and EPS with putative pathophysiologic relevance are shown at the bottom of the figure.
