Endoscopic Prediction of Achalasia: Putting the CART Before the CARS. [PDF]

Neurogastroenterol Motil
The novel endoscopic scoring system, the CARS score, demonstrated exceptionally high diagnostic specificity in differentiating patients with achalasia. A classification tree model incorporating the CARS score and hernia presence provides a step‐wise framework for interpreting the endoscopic probability of achalasia.
