Abstract
Background and Aims
Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) is the criterion standard for the diagnosis of gastroparesis. However, data are lacking regarding the prognostic value of preoperative intragastric meal distribution during GES in patients undergoing gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) for gastroparesis. This study investigated the association of GES morphologic parameters and the long-term clinical success of G-POEM.
Methods
This retrospective study included patients who underwent G-POEM for refractory gastroparesis in a tertiary center with preoperative GES data. Intragastric meal distribution was measured using the proximal to distal count ratio (PDCR) at 0, 1, 2 and 4 hours, and the retention index was calculated. Clinical success was defined as a decrease of at least 50% in the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index total score after G-POEM.
Results
In total, 77 patients were included with a mean follow-up of 40.14 months. Clinical success was observed in 54.55% of patients. The retention index was not associated with clinical success. Only PDCR at 0 hours (PDCR0) was associated with clinical success. In univariate analysis, the median PDCR0 was 6.0 (interquartile range, 5.59) in patients with clinical success and 4.29 (interquartile range, 4.51) in patients with clinical failure (P = .019). In multivariate analysis, PDCR0 >5.25 was associated with clinical success (odds ratio, 4.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.55-12.26; P = .00524).
Conclusions
This study suggests that in patients with gastroparesis, a high PDCR0 value (suggestive for a preferential fundic meal distribution) during preoperative GES is associated with long-term clinical response to G-POEM.
