Risk calculators and risk factors for Gastric dumping syndrome screening

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Umar Ahmad, M.D.[2]

Overview

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for dumping syndrome. Screening is done after exposure to the risk factors for dumping syndrome. The Sigstad score is a table of symptoms used to differentiate dumpers from non-dumpers (healthy). Other methods have been used but were never formally validated.

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for dumping syndrome.

Sigstad score

  • The Sigstad diagnostic score system is used to determine dumping syndrome versus non-dumping syndrome.[1]
  • A score greater than 7 suggests dumping.
  • A score less than 4 is suggest other diseases.
Sigstad score
Shock +5
Fainting, syncope, unconsciousness +4
Desire to lie or sit down +4
Breathlessness, dyspnea +3
Weakness, exhaustion +3
Sleepiness, drowsiness, apathy, falling asleep +3
Palpitation +3
Restlessness +2
Dizziness +2
Headaches +1
Feeling of warmth, sweating, pallor, clammy skin +1
Nausea +1
Abdominal fullness, meteorism +1
Borborygmus +1
Eructation −1
Vomiting −4

Visick classification

The Visick classification is used to determine the severity of dumping syndrome.

Arts questionnaire

The Arts' questionnaire helps distinguish early dumping syndrome from late dumping syndrome:[2]

  • This questionnaire is scored on a 4-point Likert scale.
Early dumping symptoms Late dumping symptoms
Sweating Sweating
Flushing Palpitations
Dizziness Hunger
Palpitations Drowsiness/unconsciousness
Abdominal pain Tremor
Diarrhea Irritability
Bloating
Nausea

Visual analogue scale

  • This is a survey used to determine early versus late dumping syndrome.[3]
  • A score greater than 10 mm suggests dumping.

Dumping symptom rating scale

  • Helps identify dumping symptoms.[4]
  • The questionnaire consists of 15 total questions.
  • This questionnaire is scored on a 6 to 7-point Likert scale.
  • It is used 6-12 months after surgery.
