GPOEM results in improvement in the overall symptoms of gastroparesis measured by GCSI, objective assessment of improvement in gastric emptying, and improvement in multiple domains on validated quality-of-life inventories in SF36 over a follow-up period of 6 months.
In a retrospective study of patients who underwent GPOEM for refractory gastroparesis, we found the procedure significantly improved symptoms, increased quality of life, and reduced health care use related to gastroparesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
