We have updated both the American College of Gastroenterology ACG and the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology CAG guidelines on dyspepsia in a joint ACGCAG dyspepsia guideline. We suggest that patients 6. This is a conditional recommendation and patients at higher risk of malignancy such as spending their childhood in a high risk gastric cancer country or having a positive family history could be offered an endoscopy at a younger age. Alarm features should not automatically precipitate endoscopy in younger patients but this should be considered on a case by case basis. We recommend patients lt 6. Helicobacter pylori and treatment if positive. Those that are negative or do not respond to this approach should be given a trial of proton pump inhibitor PPI therapy. If these are ineffective tricyclic antidepressants TCA or prokinetic therapies can be tried. Patients that have an endoscopy where no pathology is found are defined as having functional dyspepsia FD. H. We recommend PPI, TCA and prokinetic therapy in that order in those that fail therapy or are H. We do not recommend routine upper gastrointestinal GI motility testing but it may be useful in selected patients. Introduction. Descriptions of upper gastrointestinal symptoms date back thousands of years 1. Stomach disorders became an obsession of developed countries in the eighteenth century 2 when the term dyspepsia was first coined 3. A systematic review 4 reported that 2. Dyspepsia is more common in women, smokers, and those taking non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs 4. Patients with dyspepsia have a normal life expectancy 5, however, symptoms negatively impact on quality of life 6, 7 and there is a significant economic impact to the health service and society 8. Dyspepsia is estimated to cost the US health care service over 1. Cost effective management of dyspepsia can reduce its health and economic burdens, but it is over 1. American College of Gastroenterology ACG 1. Canadian Association of Gastroenterology CAG 1. We have therefore updated previous systematic review data 1. ACG and CAG guideline on dyspepsia management. Definition of Dyspepsia and Scope of the Guideline. Dyspepsia was originally defined as any symptoms referable to the upper gastrointestinal tract 1. The Rome committee has developed iterative definitions of dyspepsia that have become more specific culminating in Rome IV ref. These definitions have attempted to minimize the inclusion of gastro esophageal reflux disease in those with dyspepsia by excluding patients with heartburn and acid regurgitation 1. Rome definitions have been helpful in better standardizing patients that are included in studies of dyspepsia but are less relevant to clinical practice as there is considerable overlap in symptom presentation 1. For this reason, we have used a clinically relevant definition of dyspepsia as predominant epigastric pain lasting at least 1 month. This can be associated with any other upper gastrointestinal symptom such as epigastric fullness, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn, provided epigastric pain is the patients primary concern. Although this definition may differ slightly from those used in specific trials, we feel it best represents the clinical problem and the breadth of trial definitions used across time, location, and patient populations. Functional dyspepsia refers to patients with dyspepsia where endoscopy and other tests where relevant has ruled out organic pathology that explains the patients symptoms. This guideline will focus on initial investigations for dyspepsia such as Helicobacter pylori H. H. pylori treatment, PPIs, and prokinetic therapy. We do not address the management of organic pathology that may present with dyspepsia identified at endoscopy, such as esophagitis or peptic ulcer disease as there are other ACG guidelines for these specific diseases 1. Further, when H. pylori testing or treatment is recommended we do not specify which investigation or which therapy to use, as this will be addressed in an ACG guideline on H. The treatment sections warrant an important caveat. Recommendations are made based on available data for patients who fail initial standard therapy such as H. PPI therapy, and use of a TCA or prokinetic agent. These recommendations are made in a sequential manner recognizing that, with each therapeutic trial, there is significant time and expense involved in treating these patients, and that there is little data available prospectively evaluating dyspeptic patients who fail consecutive therapies. However, since this disorder is common, and since patients do not uniformly respond to one medication, we believe it important to address key clinical treatment options, despite limited data. The assumption of this latter point is that patients that continue to consult due to persistent symptoms desire further treatment. The global literature was reviewed and this guideline takes an international perspective. Nevertheless, the main viewpoint taken related to the US and Canada and our recommendations may not apply to other countries in some instances. We have indicated in the text specific areas where local variations in incidence of disease or availability of medication may result in different approaches being recommended in other countries. All recommendations are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Summary and strength of recommendations We suggest dyspepsia patients aged 6. Conditional recommendation, very low quality evidence.
