About this study

  • 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.
