Gastric Distension Index: A Novel Radiographic Marker Associated With Postoperative Gastric Stasis After Gastrectomy
The HI is a reproducible and practical radiographic indicator for identifying patients at risk of postoperative gastric stasis and related symptoms. Its use may facilitate early intervention and improve postoperative care. Prospective implementation of the HI contributed to more consistent symptom documentation and clearer associations between HI and gastrointestinal symptoms.
