Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a highly prevalent condition characterized by upper gastrointestinal symptoms with no apparent organic cause. It is a complex and multifactorial disease that frequently overlaps with other disorders of gut-brain interaction. It is recurrent, has a variable therapeutic response, and affects patient quality of life. Our aim was to formulate good practice recommendations for the management of FD through a consensus review of the disease, updating and complementing the 2017 consensus on dyspepsia from the Asociación Mexicana de Gastroenterología (AMG).

METHODS

Sixteen experts summoned by the AMG carried out a literature review (2017-2024) and formulated good clinical practice recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of FD. They were discussed until reaching a consensus, and the most recent evidence on the theme was evaluated, utilizing the GRADE system.

RESULTS

Twenty-three good clinical practice recommendations for the management of FD were developed that addressed the following aspects: (1) definition, pathophysiology, and epidemiology; (2) diagnosis; (3) nonpharmacologic treatment; (4) Helicobacter pylori eradication; (5) antisecretory and anti-acid therapy; and (6) prokinetics and neuromodulators.

CONCLUSIONS

FD is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal conditions seen in daily practice. We present good clinical practice recommendations for the specific management of this disorder, taking into account the most recent advances that complement and update the consensus on dyspepsia published by the AMG in 2017.
