Trends in management and healthcare resource utilization for achalasia following adoption of per-oral endoscopic myotomy
During the study period, use of POEM increased 31-fold while use of HM decreased 19-fold. POEM was associated with increased healthcare resource utilization, more post-procedure testing, lower odds of definitive disease reintervention, and similar rates of adverse events compared to HM and PD.
