The aim of this study was to validate the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) preliminary criteria for fibromyalgia (FM) in an Iranian population by evaluating the test characteristics of a set of different cutoff points for two subcomponents of ACR 2010 criteria.

Validation of the modified 2010 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia in a Spanish population.

The m-2010c, with the same cut-off points as the original version, are a valid tool for the diagnosis of FM in a Spanish population.

The Spanish version of the 2010 American College of Rheumatology Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for fibromyalgia: reliability and validity assessment.

The results indicate that the 2010 ACR Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for FM may be useful to establish a diagnosis of FM in Spanish individuals with chronic pain.

Comparison of ACR 1990 and ACR 2010 classification criteria in fibromyalgia syndrome

ACR 2010 classification criteria were found to be more sensitive than ACR 1990 classification criteria, but specificity was lower, and it is considered that the classification criteria of ACR 2010 may be more favorable for clinical diagnosis and monitoring of diagnosed disease.

Performance of the American College of Rheumatology 2016 criteria for fibromyalgia in a referral care setting

The sensitivity/specificity of the ACR 2016 in tertiary settings matched those found in previous primary care-based studies, and theACR 2016 criteria are valid for use in the tertiary setting.

The Discriminatory Ability of the Fibromyalgia Rapid Screening Tool (FiRST): An International Study in Spain and Four Latin American Countries.

The Spanish version of the FiRST may be used as a screening tool for fibromyalgia in several Latin American subsamples, even in those patients with high scores on potential confounders, but in Spain and Mexico, the low specificity suggests that it would be best used to support a suspected diagnosis of fibromy arthritis, rather than to exclude the diagnosis.

Fibromyalgia criteria and anomalous results: comment on the article by Ghavidel‐Parsa et al

It is concluded that the expert diagnosis used in the current Ghavidel-Parsa et al study identifies different patients with less severity than is usual among rheumatology and epidemiological diagnoses, and their conclusions regarding the level of general agreement among criteria are untenable and must be rejected.

Reliability, Factor Structure and Predictive Validity of the Widespread Pain Index and Symptom Severity Scales of the 2010 American College of Rheumatology Criteria of Fibromyalgia

Both scales allow for highly accurate identification and differentiation of FMS patients and the inclusion of more painful areas in the WPI and of additional symptoms in the SS may reduce ceiling effects and improve the discrimination between patients differing in disease severity.

There is a disturbing inaccuracy, mostly observed to be overdiagnosis, in the diagnosis of FM by referring physicians, which may help explain the current high reported rates of FM and caution physicians to consider other diagnostic possibilities when addressing diffuse musculoskeletal pain.
