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

Additional Diagnostic Yield of Ambulatory 24‐h High Resolution Manometry With Impedance in Patients With Non‐Cardiac Chest Pain or Non‐Obstructive Dysphagia

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2025.
Spastic and hypercontractile esophageal motor disorders can cause retrosternal pain and/or dysphagia but may be missed by short‐term high resolution manometry (HRM). 24‐h‐HRM detected considerable circadian variability of esophageal contractility and markedly increased the percentage of patients diagnosed with a major motor disorder.
