- Background/Objectives The global epidemiology of gastroparesis is unknown. The European UEG and European Society for Neurogastroenterology and motility consensus defines Gastroparesis as a condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction, with a symptom pattern of nausea and/or vomiting and overlapping postprandial distress syndrome (PDS). Real-world evidence of this gastroparesis-like symptom pattern is a crucial step in understanding the epidemiology of gastroparesis. Methods In the Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Study, 54,127 respondents from 26 countries completed the Rome IV Diagnostic Questionnaire and variables associated with disorders of gut-brain interaction via Internet. We selected subjects with gastroparesis-like symptoms (GPLS) (nausea and/or vomiting >= 1 day/week and simultaneous PDS). Patients reporting organic gastrointestinal disease, or fulfilling criteria for self-induced vomiting, cyclic vomiting or cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome were excluded. We determined prevalence, associated comorbidities, quality of life (QoL) (PROMIS Global-10), symptoms of anxiety and depression (PHQ-4), somatic symptoms (PHQ-12), and healthcare utilization. Results The global prevalence of GPLS was 0.9% overall and 1.3% among diabetic individuals. Subjects with GPLS showed frequent overlapping of epigastric pain syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome. Subjects with GPLS had significantly lower body mass index, QoL, more non-gastrointestinal somatic complaints, symptoms of anxiety and depression, higher medication usage and doctor visits in the overall and diabetic population, compared to subjects without these symptoms. Conclusions GPLS are common worldwide and more common in diabetic patients. The symptom complex is associated with multiple aspects of illness and an increased healthcare consumption.

- Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is differentiated into two subgroups: the postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS). Acute gastroenteritis and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection have been identified as risk factors for FD. It is unclear how these risk factors relate to Rome IV subgroups and their clinical impact. We aimed to study the association of postinfectious FD (PI-FD) and HP status with clinical profiles and weight loss. Methods: Consecutive FD patients were assessed for symptom frequency and severity. Patients were identified as PDS, EPS or the overlap group according to severity scores. Additionally, PI history and HP status were determined. Results: In a cohort of 459 FD-patients, 36% were characterized as having PDS, 9% as having EPS and 55% showed overlap. PI onset and positive HP status were reported by, respectively, 20% and 14% of patients, not significantly differing between subgroups (respectively, p = 0.31 and p = 0.40). Weight loss was reported by 63% in PDS, 36% in EPS and 56% in overlap patients (p = 0.011). Only early satiety severity correlated with more severe weight loss in the PDS (r 0.31, p < 0.0001) and overlap group (r 0.38, p < 0.0001). PI-FD patients were more likely to experience weight loss (OR 2.27, p = 0.0013). HP status was not significantly associated with weight loss (p = 0.90). Conclusion: In this cohort, PI onset of FD symptoms emerged as a risk factor for weight loss, but was not associated with the symptom patterns of PDS, EPS or overlap subgroups. Patients with HP infection were not more likely to experience important weight loss. © 2022, Japanese Society of Gastroenterology.
