Achalasia: Physician Practices and Knowledge in Türkiye
Variations in physician knowledge and diagnostic practices across specialties, hospital types, and gender may contribute to delayed achalasia recognition. Persistent gaps in practical competence, HREM familiarity, and access to diagnostic resources highlight the need for targeted education and structured interventions. Improving diagnostic infrastructure and HREM access may enable earlier diagnosis and enhance outcomes. Cite this article as: Eroğlu Haktanır A, Çelebi A.
