Key Points

  • To analyze the prevalence and incidence of gastroparesis following lung and heart transplantation.
  • Conducted a meta-analysis on thoracic transplant recipients
  • Evaluated prevalence and incidence rates of gastroparesis in recipients of heart and lung transplants
  • Analyzed demographic factors, including age and gender, for association with gastroparesis
  • Reported almost one-third of thoracic transplant recipients experience gastroparesis
  • Indicated a numerically higher burden of gastroparesis after heart-lung transplantation
  • Found no significant association between age or gender and prevalence rates of gastroparesis

Abstract

Gastroparesis affects nearly one-third of thoracic transplant recipients, with a numerically higher burden after HLT transplantation. There was no association between age and gender and the prevalence of post-transplant gastroparesis.
