  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study group will be patients with diabetic gastroparesis who qualify for bariatric weight loss surgery (BMI >35, insurance/medicare bariatric coverage). These patients are referred by gastroenterologists and/or endocrinologists with established diagnosis of diabetic gastroparesis confirmed via delayed gastric emptying on scintigraphy. All available treatment options will be discussed with every qualifying patient. Patients opting for sleeve gastrectomy will be invited to participate in the registry.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 years and above
  • BMI > 35
  • Diagnosis of diabetic gastroparesis as confirmed via scintigraphy

About this study

Official title: Do Sleeve Gastrectomies Result in Improved Gastric Emptying and Thus Improved Symptoms in Patients With Diabetic Gastroparesis?

The purpose of this registry is to evaluate if sleeve gastrectomy surgery will help with symptoms of delayed gastric emptying for patients suffering from diabetic gastroparesis.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective registry enrolling patients with an established diagnosis of diabetic gastroparesis and interested in receiving a sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss. An often intentional outcome of sleeve gastrectomy is an increase in gastric emptying. The relationship between how beneficial this outcome could be for diabetic gastroparesis patients suffering from delayed gastric emptying is not very well established. The purpose of this study is to find out if sleeve gastrectomy surgery will also help with symptoms of delayed gastric emptying. This study involves completing the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index questionnaire before your weight loss surgery and after surgery at the following time points; 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index QuestionnaireOther

    Patients with an established diagnosis of Diabetic Gastroparesis that are interested in a sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss will be asked to participate in the registry. Once the consent process is complete the patient will be asked to complete the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index Questionnaire prior to weight loss surgery and 30 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Examine gastroparesis symptoms

    Administer the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI). The GCSI consists of three subscales: (1) Nausea/vomiting, (2) Fullness/early satiety, and (3) Bloating/distention. The average score is calculated from these three subscales with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. The symptoms are rated on a scale from 0-5 with zero reflecting no symptoms and 5 indicating very severe symptoms.

    Measured: 1 year
