Background and Aims: Patients with health-related social needs (HRSNs) experience barriers to health care services. To identify areas of intervention, we need to understand the impact of HRSN in patients with gastroparesis. This study aimed to 1) determine types of HRSN present in patients with gastroparesis; 2) analyze relationship between HRSN and gastroparesis symptom severity and health-related quality of life (HRQL); and 3) evaluate which HRSN domains most significantly affect symptom severity and HRQL. Methods: Patients with gastroparesis were enrolled and completed questionnaires to assess the following: 1) severity of gastroparetic symptoms using Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI); 2) HRSN using screening questionnaire; and 3) HRQL using the Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders-Quality of Life (PAGI-QOL). Results: Three hundred twenty-one patients with gastroparesis participated in this study. Two hundred twelve patients completed GCSI and HRSN questionnaires, and 109 additional patients completed PAGI-QOL questionnaire. Of the 321 total patients, the most common HRSN were mental health, financial strain, and food insecurity. Overall, 43% had at least one HRSN and 22% had at least 2 HRSN. The number of HRSN was directly correlated to the GCSI total symptom score (r = 0.284, P < .05) while inversely correlated to the PAGI-QOL score (r = −0.650, P < .05). Of the 7 HRSN domains studied, patients with mental health HRSN, in particular, reported more severe gastroparesis symptoms and lower quality of life. Conclusion: A large number (43%) of patients with gastroparesis had at least 1 HRSN. Patients with HRSN reported more severe gastroparesis symptoms and lower quality of life than patients without HRSN. |
