Evaluating the Frequency of Esophageal Motility Disorders in Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Symptoms Based on the Chicago Classification Version 3.0
45.3% of the patients with upper GI symptoms were diagnosed with EMDs on HRM based on CC v3.0. Patients presenting with dysphagia were more likely to have EMDs. HRM may be a useful diagnostic modality for patients with upper GI symptoms who have no organic abnormalities on EGD. In particular, HRM should be considered in daily clinical practice for patients with dysphagia, given the potential presence of EMDs, including achalasia.
