Meal Eating Characteristics of Patients with Gastroparesis.
Digestive Diseases and Sciences 2022 August
BACKGROUND: Patients with gastroparesis often consume only small meals due to early satiety.
AIMS: (1) Describe meal eating characteristics of patients with gastroparesis; (2) Relate meal eating characteristics to symptoms, gastric emptying (GE), and body weight.
METHODS: Patients with gastroparesis filled out questionnaires including Patient Assessment of Upper GI Symptoms (PAGI-SYM), and questionnaire about meal habits and body weight. Patients underwent gastric emptying scintigraphy.
RESULTS: Of 192 gastroparesis patients, 93% endorsed early satiety (ES) with severity of 3.7 ± 1.5 (scored from 0-5) and 93% endorsed postprandial fullness (PPF) with severity of 3.9 ± 1.3. Time spent consuming meals averaged 13.6 ± 17.7 min. Main reasons patients stopped eating were fullness (61%), nausea (48%), and abdominal pain (31%). Time spent eating correlated inversely with severity of nausea (r = -0.18, p < 0.05), stomach fullness (r = -0.21, p < 0.01), PPF (r = -0.23, p < 0.01), loss of appetite (r = -0.34, p < 0.01). Postprandial fullness lasted for 316 ± 344 min. Duration of PPF correlated with nausea (r = 0.30, p < 0.01), retching (r = 0.29, p < 0.01), vomiting (r = 0.28, p < 0.01), stomach fullness (r = 0.33, p < 0.01), loss of appetite (r = 0.35, p < 0.01), and constipation (r = 0.27, p < 0.01). Underweight patients had increased inability to finish a normal size meal (p < 0.01), loss of appetite (p < 0.01), and lower abdominal pain/discomfort (p < 0.05). Patients had lost 3.06 ± 10.60 kgs from their baseline weight. Weight loss correlated with nausea (r = 0.26, p < 0.01), ES (r = 0.30, p < 0.01), loss of appetite (r = 0.28, p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Early satiety and postprandial fullness were common with high severity. The main reasons for meal cessation were early satiety, nausea, and abdominal pain. Body weight and change in body weight were associated with symptoms of gastroparesis.
