Summary
This study provides updated clinical practice guidelines for managing functional dyspepsia (FD), a common gastrointestinal disorder. It emphasizes evidence-based diagnosis and treatment strategies for FD subtypes to improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Clinical Practice Guidelines
- Digestive Health
Background:
- Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a prevalent chronic upper gastrointestinal disorder with unclear etiology.
- Current treatments offer modest efficacy due to heterogeneous pathogenesis, posing a significant healthcare burden.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of functional dyspepsia (FD).
- To provide updated recommendations for clinicians, healthcare workers, patients, and medical students.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review and meta-analysis of existing guidelines, studies, and randomized control trials.
- Formation of a guideline development committee and external expert review.
- Incorporation of recent evidence and the 2011 Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility guidelines.
Main Results:
- Guidelines cover diagnostic roles of endoscopy and *Helicobacter pylori* screening.
- Systematic review and meta-analysis of treatments including proton pump inhibitors, *H. pylori* eradication, and tricyclic antidepressants.
- Recommendations are tailored to specific FD subtypes.
Conclusions:
- These guidelines aim to enhance understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of FD.
- Regular updates will ensure the guidelines remain current with evolving medical evidence.
- Effective management of FD requires a subtype-specific, evidence-based approach.
