Mean Basal Esophagogastric Junction Pressure Is a Better High-resolution Manometry Predictor of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Than Esophagogastric Junction Contractile Integral
: MBEP is a simple HRM metric to evaluate anti-reflux barrier function, predicting conclusive GERD and differentiating reflux phenotypes with better performance than EGJ-CI. This metric could serve as a valuable adjunctive tool in GERD diagnosis.
