Abstract
GOALThe goal of this study was to characterize the etiology and demographics of hospitalized patients with gastroparesis (Gp) across different age groups. BACKGROUNDGp is a chronic condition associated with increasing hospitalizations and costs. The gender and etiology distributions of Gp throughout the age spectrum are unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODSNationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) and Kid's Inpatient Database (KID) were used to identify patients using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes for Gp as a primary diagnosis or as secondary diagnosis with the first diagnosis a GI-related symptom. RESULTSThere were a total of 15,790 admissions (75.6% female, age: 46.2±18.0 y). After age 6, female admissions percentage increased: ages 2 to 5: 45.0%, ages 6 to 12: 62.8%, ages 13 to 20: 76.7% ( P <0.001), with a distinct increase at age 12. Diabetic gastroparesis (DG) was seen in 3995 (25.3%) of all Gp admissions but in only 1.1% of children under the age of 20. Overall, 68% of DG admissions were female, but a higher percentage of DG was seen among male admissions for Gp compared with female admissions for Gp between ages 21 and 64 (38.3% vs. 23%, P <0.001). The most common races were white (63.2%), African American (20.6%), and Hispanic (8.7%). DG was more often present in Native American (61.9%), Hispanic (39.1%), and African American (38.2%) admissions than in white patients (17.8%; P <0.05). CONCLUSIONSThis study using large inpatient databases shows that the gender, race, and etiology of Gp admissions is age-dependent. The female predominance of Gp admissions is more prominent from the second decade of life. DG, although uncommon in children, is seen more often in nonwhite admissions.
