Letter identifies the need for standardized gastroparesis evaluation in lung transplant recipients, suggesting improved outcomes.

To discuss the variability in diagnosing gastroparesis post-lung transplantation and emphasize the need for standardized protocols.
Meta-analysis of existing studies on gastroparesis in lung and heart-lung transplant recipients.
Stratified analyses according to diagnostic modality used for evaluating gastric emptying.
Call for future prospective multicenter studies to standardize diagnostic protocols and evaluate transplant-specific outcomes.
Prevalence estimates for gastroparesis were highest with the 4-hour gastric emptying scintigraphy method.
Delayed gastric emptying commonly coexists with reflux and oesophageal dysmotility.
Emphasized the potential risks of routine anti-reflux surgery in patients with gastric emptying impairment.

Eldesouki et al. (2026) studied this question.
