Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate early and late dumping syndromes in a large number of patients after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. STUDY DESIGN: Responses to questions on a visual analogue scale survey completed by 1,153 gastrectomy patients were analyzed for associations between clinical factors and occurrence of dumping syndrome. Types of gastrectomy included distal gastrectomy with Billroth I or with Roux-Y reconstruction, pylorus preserving gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy, and total gastrectomy. RESULTS: Based on the visual analogue scale rating of symptomatic discomfort, patients were categorized into 1 of 2 groups: symptom-free or symptomatic. Incidences of early or late dumping syndrome in all patients were 67.6% and 38.4%, respectively. Patients in whom early dumping syndrome developed were significantly more likely to experience late dumping syndrome than those in whom it did not develop (p < 0.001). According to multivariate analyses, factors that decreased the risk for developing early dumping syndrome were reduced weight loss (p < 0.01), old age (p < 0.01), pylorus preserving gastrectomy (p < 0.01), distal gastrectomy with Roux-Y reconstruction (p < 0.01), and distal gastrectomy with Billroth I (p = 0.019). In addition, factors that decreased the risk of developing late dumping syndrome were reduced weight loss (p = 0.03), being male (p < 0.01), pylorus preserving gastrectomy (p < 0.01), and distal gastrectomy with Roux-Y reconstruction (p < 0.01). No other clinical factors (lymph node dissection, vagal nerve preservation, and postoperative period) showed a substantial association with the occurrence of dumping syndrome in multivariate analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Substantially more patients suffered from early dumping syndrome than late dumping syndrome after gastrectomy. Two clinical factors, surgical procedures and amount of body weight loss, associated significantly with the occurrence of both early and late dumping syndrome.

  • A relatively recent report describes the use of a visual analogue scale (VAS) survey to evaluate early and late dumping syndromes in more than 1,000 patients after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

    “A relatively recent report also describes the use of a visual analogue scale (VAS) survey to evaluate early and late dumping syndromes in more than 1,000 patients after gastrectomy for gastric cancer (32).”
  • This survey used a very low cutoff for dumping complaints (VAS score >10 mm), and a single item on the questionnaire was sufficient to label patients as symptomatic for late dumping.

    From Dumping syndrome after esophageal, gastric or bariatric surgery: Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management (2017) · cites this paper as [32]

    The available Abstract passage says patients were classified as symptomatic or symptom-free using visual analogue scale ratings, but it gives neither a >10 mm cutoff nor the number of questionnaire items required for a late-dumping classification. Searches for “10 mm” and for a single late-dumping symptom found no passage addressing those details in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.69)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
