Primary outcomes

1

Assessment of Change in Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) from baseline to post G-POEM

The Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) is used for assessing severity of symptoms associated with gastroparesis. Patients are to score each of the 9 symptom criteria on 0 (None) to 5 (Very Severe) Likert Scale. The higher the score the more symptomatic from gastroparesis the patient is. Nausea or Vomiting (score 0-5 for each of the following 3 criteria) * Nausea * Retching * Vomiting Postprandial fullness or early satiety (score 0-5 for each of the following 4 criteria) * Stomach Fullness * Not able to finish a normal-sized meal * Feeling excessively full after meals * Loss of appetite Bloating (score 0-5 for each of the following 2 criteria) * Bloating * Stomach visibly larger

Time frame
60 months span: baseline and assess change at 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month, 36 month, 48 month & 60 months
2

Assessment of Change in Patient Assessment of gastrointestinal disorders-symptom severity index (PAGI-SYM) score from baseline to post G-POEM

Change in PAGI-Sym score: The PAGI-SYM is composed of 20 items and 6 subscales: heartburn/regurgitation (7 items), nausea/vomiting (3 items), postprandial fullness/early satiety (4 items), bloating (2 items), upper abdominal pain (2 items), and lower abdominal pain (2 items). Subscale scores are calculated by averaging across items comprising the subscale; scores vary from 0 (none or absent) to 5 (very severe)

Time frame
60 months span: baseline and assess change at 1,3,6,12,24, 36,48 & 60 months
3

Assessment of Change in G-POEM SF-36 Health Survey score from baseline to post G-POEM

Change in health belief questionnaire (SF-36) score: Short Form (36) Health Survey is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability and the higher scores indicate better health

Time frame
baseline and assess change at 1,3,6,12,24,36,48 & 60 months
4

Assessment of change in Gastric Emptying Scan (GES) (solid phase, 4 hour study) from baseline to post G-POEM

we will track change in GES at 6 months and 24 months post G-POEM and compare to baseline. Normal GES should have under 5% at 4 hours

Time frame
baseline; and assess change at 6, and 24 months
