Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.
