Figure 1:

79 patients with gastroparesis (Gp) and 22 patients with Gp symptoms, normal gastric retention and functional dyspepsia (FD) using the Rome III classification at enrollment are compared by 4-hour % gastric retention and severity of the total GCSI score (0–5) at baseline and at 48-weeks of follow-up. Boxplots and dot plot distributions of total GCSI (blue) and % gastric retention (maroon) are displayed. Each dot represents a patient’s values. (A): 79 patients with Gp at baseline had normal gastric retention at 48-weeks (Gp converters) and (B): 22 patients without delayed retention (FD) at baseline had delayed gastric emptying at 48-weeks (FD converters). Total GCSI remained similar at both time points. Scatterplots and fitted regression lines at baseline (maroon, pink regression line) and 48-weeks (blue) are displayed. (C) Gp converters: y=2.53 + 0.009*x, r=0.16 at baseline and y=2.20 + 0.05*x, r=0.13 at 48-weeks, and (D) FD converters: y=3.28 – 0.001*x, r=−0.01 at baseline and y=2.94 – 0.002*x, -r=.07, where y=GCSI score and x=% gastric retention.
