Abstract
Background: Clinically relevant esophagogastric junction metrics on functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) in post-fundoplication patients remain unclear.
Methods: 63 symptomatic post-fundoplication patients underwent FLIP, barium esophagram, and high-resolution manometry. Logistic regressions and receiver-operating characteristic curves for distensibility index (DI) at 60 mL and maximal diameter were generated to predict impaired clearance.
Results: Maximal diameter (OR:0.77, CI:0.62-0.96,p=0.02, AUROC=0.73), but not DI, independently predicted impaired clearance. Diameter >16.5 mm achieved >90% sensitivity for normal clearance; DI <2.0 mm2/mmHg and diameter <8 mm were >90% specific for impaired clearance.
Conclusions: Maximal diameter on post-fundoplication FLIP predicts impaired clearance and discriminates better than DI.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology (CTG), published on behalf of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), is a peer-reviewed open access online journal dedicated to innovative clinical work in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. CTG hopes to fulfill an unmet need for clinicians and scientists by welcoming novel cohort studies, early-phase clinical trials, qualitative and quantitative epidemiologic research, hypothesis-generating research, studies of novel mechanisms and methodologies including public health interventions, and integration of approaches across organs and disciplines. CTG also welcomes hypothesis-generating small studies, methods papers, and translational research with clear applications to human physiology or disease.
