Determinants of symptoms in functional dyspepsia: gastric sensorimotor function, psychosocial factors or somatisation?

Abstract

Symptom severity and weight loss in FD are determined by psychosocial factors (depression, abuse history) and somatisation, and only to a lesser extent by gastric sensorimotor function. The importance of psychosocial factors and somatisation compared to gastric sensorimotor function is most pronounced in hypersensitive patients.
