Factors that contribute to the impairment of quality of life in gastroparesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding factors that impair quality of life (QOL) in gastroparesis is important for clinical management.

Aims

(a) Determine QOL in patients with gastroparesis; (b) Determine factors that impair QOL.

Methods

Gastroparetic patientsAQ6 underwent history and questionnaires assessing symptoms (PAGI-SYM and Rome III), QOL (SF-36v2 and PAGI-QOL), depression (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]), and anxiety (State Trait Anxiety InventoryAQ7).

Key results

715 gastroparesis patients (256 diabetic (DG), 459 idiopathic (IG)) were evaluated. SF-36 physical component (PC) score averaged 33.3 ± 10.5; 41% had impaired score <30. SF-36 PC scores were similar between diabetic and idiopathic gastroparesis. Impaired SF-36 PC associated with increased nausea/vomiting
