ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a high prevalence of nausea, vomiting, postprandial fullness, and abdominal pain; these are symptoms that are similar to those in gastroparesis (GP). The aim of this study was to assess the association between GP and RA and the determinants of GP.METHODS:
We identified patients with RA and patients with GP from the 2012-2014 National Inpatient Sample database. The t test and the χ2 test were used for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. We determined the association between RA and GP and independent predictors of GP by multivariate analysis.RESULTS:
Of 1,514,960 patients with RA, there were 1070 hospitalizations in which a primary diagnosis of GP was identified. The GP odds ratio in RA was found to be 1.36 and the 95% confidence interval was 1.24 to 1.49 (P < 0.0001). The variables increasing the odds of GP were age intervals of 18 to 35 years, 36 to 50 years, and 51 to 65 years; being female, White, or Black; a median household income in the 26th to 50th and the 51st to 75th percentiles; having diabetes mellitus; and having RA.CONCLUSIONS:
An increased likelihood of 36% of GP among patients with RA was determined. White and Black patients younger than age 65 showed a greater risk of developing GP.
