Clinical predictors of symptom improvement failure in gastroparesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to determine clinical predictors of gastroparesis outcomes.

Methods

Between September 30, 2009 and January 31, 2020, we identified patients with gastroparesis diagnosed based on a ^99mTc sulfur-labeled gastric emptying test. The patients who had no symptom improvement at 4 and 12 weeks were considered to have failed to show clinical improvement. Logistic regression was used to compute the association between different factors and clinical outcomes.

Results

We identified 320 patients (mean age 47.5±5.3 years, 70.3% female, 71.3% Whites). Failure of clinical improvement was seen in 34.7% patients at 4 weeks and 27.5% at 12 weeks after the gastroparesis diagnosis. At 4 weeks, chronic kidney disease (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]
