The relationship among gastroparetic symptoms, quality of life, and gastric emptying in patients referred for gastric emptying testing

Symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis are non‐specific and conflicting reports exist regarding the ability of symptoms to predict the presence of gastroparesis. Our aim, therefore, was to evaluate the relationships between gastroparetic symptoms and their impact on quality of life and determine their relationship with clinical factors and gastric emptying.
