Abstract

Functional dyspepsia is a common disorder with a diverse pathophysiological background, but the role of motility disorders in functional dyspepsia remains unclear. We aimed to quantify the relationship between disturbed gastric emptying and functional dyspepsia, using a meta-analytic approach. Through a structured literature search of Medline and Embase from 1983 to 1996, we selected all studies in which scintigraphic solid-phase gastric emptying was measured in both functional dyspeptic patients and controls. Seventeen studies involving 868 dyspeptic patients and 397 controls were pooled. Gastric emptying in patients with functional dyspepsia was 1.46 (1.23-1.69) times slower than controls; the proportion of patients with abnormally slow emptying was either 37% (34-40%, simple numeric pooling) or 39% (29-49%, weighted pooling). We conclude that gastric emptying of solids in patients with functional dyspepsia is 1.5 times slower than in healthy controls and that a significant delay of emptying is present in almost 40% of patients with functional dyspepsia.

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.
