Comparison of Achalasia Classification Schemes to Predict Treatment Outcomes

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Achalasia classification methods can be beneficial to help prognosticate treatment outcomes. High‐resolution manometry subtypes (Chicago Classification) predicted symptomatic outcome, whereas esophagram‐based classifications (Japanese Esophageal Society (JES), Italian, Brazilian) more strongly predicted objective emptying. This highlights the potential

A Decade of Change: National Trends in Management and Outcomes of Achalasia Hospitalizations in the United States

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 37, Issue 12, December 2025.
From 2011 to 2022, inpatient management of achalasia declined while hospitalization costs rose. POEM utilization increased, accompanied by declines in LHM and esophagectomy rates. As patients presented with higher comorbidity burdens, both mortality and respiratory complications showed an upward trend. ABSTRACT Background Achalasia is a rare esophageal
