Mild delay: Just by reviewing the results, the gastric emptying at 4 hrs show mild delay in emptying. Grading for severity of delayed gastric emptying based on 4 hour value in normal results: Grade 1 (mild): 11-20% retention at 4 hours Grade 2 (moderate): 21-35% retention Grade 3 (severe): 36-50% retention Grade 4 (very severe): >50% retention This is just based on results and no other clinical knowledge.
