Detailed Description
-
Patients seen who had autonomic and enteric profiling (Adrenergic Cholinergic Enteric Measures/Mapping=ACEM) from 2012-2019 at the U of Louisville.
-
Results of the physiologic measures of ACEM had the results recorded.
-
ACEM is compared to standardized gastric emptying values as the primary measure.
-
ACEM is also compared to metabolic measures of weight, height and thus BMI as a secondary measure.
-
ACEM is aloes compared with standardized gastrointestinal symptoms by a traditional patient recorded outcome as another secondary measure.
Other sites may be added if they have identical IRB and/or data sharing agreements with the University of Louisville.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Body Mass Index [10 years]
We calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) using the following formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)] squared BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
