Epidemiologic and Economic Burden of Achalasia in the United States

Charles E. Gaber et al.

Summary: This study estimated the incidence, prevalence, and direct medical costs of achalasia in the United States. The results showed that achalasia has a higher epidemiologic and economic burden in the US than previously suggested, with a particularly increasing diagnosis in older patients.

Type II Achalasia Is Increasing in Prevalence

Margaret J. Zhou et al.

Summary: An analysis of patients diagnosed with achalasia revealed a significant increase in the prevalence of type II achalasia and a decrease in type I cases. However, there were no apparent correlations between age or gender and these differences. The findings suggest that advancements in diagnostic techniques and increased awareness of the disease may be contributing factors to the changing epidemiology.

Esophageal motility disorders on high-resolution manometry: Chicago classification version 4.0(C)

Rena Yadlapati et al.

Summary: CCv4.0 is an updated classification scheme for esophageal motility disorders using HRM, developed by fifty-two international experts in seven subgroups over two years. Key updates include a more rigorous and expansive HRM protocol, refined definition of EGJOO, stricter criteria for ineffective esophageal motility, and description of baseline EGJ metrics. These changes aim to provide more standardized criteria for disorders of peristalsis and obstruction at the EGJ.

A prospective multicentre study of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for achalasia in Australia

Sunil Gupta et al.

Summary: POEM is an effective treatment for achalasia in Australia, with significant reductions in Eckardt scores achieved by six months sustained at two years. It can be used as both a first line definitive therapy and a salvage therapy for patients not helped by other treatments.

Comparing cost and outcomes between peroral endoscopic myotomy and laparoscopic heller myotomy

Mikhail Attaar et al.

Summary: In comparison between peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) at a single institution, POEM patients had shorter operative time and length of stay, quicker recovery, and lower hospital charges, suggesting that POEM may be more cost-effective.
