Gastroparesis might not be uncommon in patients with diabetes mellitus in a real-world clinical setting: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated the frequency of diabetic gastroparesis and associated risk factors in a real-world clinical setting.

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients who underwent assessments of solid gastric emptying time (GET) by technetium-99 m scintigraphy between May 2019 and December 2020. We categorized patients into three groups according to gastric retention of technetium-99 m: rapid (< 65% at 1 h or < 20% at 2 h), normal (≤60% at 2 h and/or ≤ 10% at 4 h), and delayed (> 60% at 2 h and/or > 10% at 4 h).

Results

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) were more likely to show abnormal GET than those without DM (119 [70.8%] vs. 16 [44.4%]). The mean glycated A1c was 10.3% in DM patients. DM patients with normal GET were signif
