Diabetic gastropathy and prokinetics

Talley, Nicholas J.·2003·The American Journal of Gastroenterology

Abstract

The treatment of diabetic gastropathy, which here refers to a clinical syndrome of upper GI tract symptoms suggestive of an upper motility disturbance in diabetes whether or not there is delayed gastric emptying, remains suboptimal. New prokinetics and other motility-modifying agents may prove useful, but adequate clinical trials will be required to establish a role for them. However, diabetic gastropathy seems to represent a heterogenous syndrome in terms of pathophysiology, which potentially complicates the design of new randomized, controlled trials. This review aims to provide guidelines for future trials in this field. The evidence that delayed gastric emptying is a cause of symptoms in diabetic gastropathy is critically evaluated. The trial evidence supporting the short and long term efficacy of prokinetics is reviewed. Based on the available literature, it is concluded that improvement in gastric emptying does not equate with symptom relief in diabetic gastropathy. It is suggested that although gastric emptying should still be measured in clinical trials, it should not represent the primary outcome. The withdrawal treatment design applied in studies of diabetic gastropathy might be suboptimal. Double blind, parallel group studies remain the trial design of choice, but incorporation of validated outcome assessments and measurement of potential confounders of treatment response need attention in future trials.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Prokinetic agents increase antral contractility, reduce gastric dysrhythmias, and improve coordination between the antrum and duodenum, with modest effect.

    “This group of drugs increases antral contractility, reduces gastric dysrhythmias, and improves coordination between the antrum and duodenum. The effect is modest, and responses are assessed clinically [63].”

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.
