Comparative analysis of conventional vs high-resolution anorectal manometry methods
C-ARM and HR-ARM show excellent agreement for the quantitative assessment of resting and squeeze pressures. However, when these pressures are categorized using currently available normative values, the diagnostic agreement between the methods is poor. This strongly suggests that unique, device-specific reference ranges must be established to ensure accurate clinical interpretation.
