Electrogastrography in Adult Gastroparesis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastroparesis is a delay in gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, lacking a clear pathophysiological mechanism, but with multiple histological abnormalities including loss of interstitial cells of Cajal, which may alter slow waves. We can assess slow waves with electrogastrography.

Objectives

To determine the prevalence and range of abnormalities in gastric slow waves in adults with gastroparesis using electrogastrography.

Methods

We systematically searched Medline, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science, and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials. We included studies with patients older than 18 years with gastroparesis, assessed using electrogastrography. We evaluated the percentage of duration of the recording in which the dominant power was in normoga
