Résumé
Dysmotility in one region of the gastrointestinal tract has been found to predispose patients to developing motility disorders in other gastrointestinal segments. However, few studies have evaluated the relationship between gastroparesis and constipation. Retrospective review of 224 patients who completed 4-hour, solid-phase gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES), and wireless motility capsule (WMC) testing to evaluate for gastroparesis and slow-transit constipation, respectively. When available, anorectal manometry data were reviewed to evaluate for dyssynergic defecation. Patients were divided into two groups based on the results of the GES: 101 patients with normal gastric emptying and 123 patients with gastroparesis (stratified by severity). Differences in constipation rates were compared between the groups. Slow-transit constipation was more common in the gastroparesis group, but statistical significance was not reached (42.3% vs 34.7%, p = 0.304). Univariate logistical regression analysis found no association between slow-transit constipation and gastroparesis (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.80-2.38, p = 0.245) nor dyssynergic defecation and gastroparesis (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.29-2.70, p = 0.822). However, when stratifying gastroparesis based on severity, slow-transit constipation was found to be associated with severe gastroparesis (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.20-5.00, p = 0.014). This association was strengthened with the exclusion of patients with diabetes mellitus (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.39-8.83, p = 0.008) - a potential confounder. Patients with severe gastroparesis (>35% gastric retention at the 4-hour mark on solid-phase GES) have an increased likelihood of having underlying slow-transit constipation. Dyssynergic defecation does not appear to be associated with gastroparesis (of any severity).

BACKGROUND
Dysmotility in one region of the gastrointestinal tract has been found to predispose patients to developing motility disorders in other gastrointestinal segments. However, few studies have evaluated the relationship between gastroparesis and constipation.
METHODS
Retrospective review of 224 patients who completed 4-hour, solid-phase gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES), and wireless motility capsule (WMC) testing to evaluate for gastroparesis and slow-transit constipation, respectively. When available, anorectal manometry data were reviewed to evaluate for dyssynergic defecation. Patients were divided into two groups based on the results of the GES: 101 patients with normal gastric emptying and 123 patients with gastroparesis (stratified by severity). Differences in constipation rates were compared between the groups.
KEY RESULTS
Slow-transit constipation was more common in the gastroparesis group, but statistical significance was not reached (42.3% vs 34.7%, p = 0.304). Univariate logistical regression analysis found no association between slow-transit constipation and gastroparesis (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.80-2.38, p = 0.245) nor dyssynergic defecation and gastroparesis (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.29-2.70, p = 0.822). However, when stratifying gastroparesis based on severity, slow-transit constipation was found to be associated with severe gastroparesis (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.20-5.00, p = 0.014). This association was strengthened with the exclusion of patients with diabetes mellitus (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.39-8.83, p = 0.008) - a potential confounder.
CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES
Patients with severe gastroparesis (>35% gastric retention at the 4-hour mark on solid-phase GES) have an increased likelihood of having underlying slow-transit constipation. Dyssynergic defecation does not appear to be associated with gastroparesis (of any severity).
