[<span>1</span>] relating to our article [<span>2</span>]. They provided thoughtful commentary about the strengths and weaknesses of our study, and we agree with several concerns and recommendations that they shared. For example, they highlighted the potential limitations of relying upon ICD-10 codes to assess the abdominal pain status of each patient, including the lack of ‘granularity’ in data related to pain severity, frequency and chronicity. Mao et al. also pointed out that this investigation was not able to necessarily discern between individuals with quiescent or active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and appropriately concluded that this made it difficult to determine why patients in this study were receiving antispasmodics, and whether particular sub-cohorts (e.g., those with quiescent IBD and concomitant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)) would demonstrate better outcomes after receiving these therapies. Additionally, they noted that almost two thirds of the patients included in our study did not report a racial identity. They also mentioned that there was a lack of information about participant socioeconomic status and education level. We appreciate all of these criticisms, and agree that they are all worthy of consideration. Indeed, as stated in our Discussion, there are important issues directly related to the use of retrospectively abstracted claims data that limit the inferences that can be made about this topic. In our Conclusions, we advocated for follow-on prospective studies to help address the limitations noted above.</p>\u0000<p>Despite these concerns, we believe this study is important for several reasons. It is the first large-scale study investigating the clinical impact of antispasmodics in IBD. While there were potential limitations related to data type and quality, the database utilised has served as one of the largest and most comprehensive sources of information in the world for population-based studies and includes data from a wide variety of healthcare centres located around the world [<span>3</span>]. Thus, it is likely that the associated study cohort provided a ‘real-world’ assessment of antispasmodic provision and its impact in IBD. As stated above, Mao et al. suggested that antispasmodic use is more likely to be successful in patients with quiescent IBD who exhibit visceral hypersensitivity or IBS. It is important to note that there is no definitive evidence in IBD to support this statement. This is, in fact, one of the reasons we undertook this study. However, even if that statement is eventually determined to be accurate, previous investigations demonstrate that, when healthcare providers believe that patients with IBD are in remission, many harbour unrecognised inflammation and other factors (unrelated to IBS or visceral hypersensitivity) that may contribute to abdominal pain [<span>4, 5</span>].

Kautz, Russell Norris, Sunil Patel, Amol Sharma","doi":"10.1111/apt.70142","DOIUrl":"10.1111/apt.70142","url":null,"abstract":"<p>We commend Sweerts et al. for their largest-to-date investigation using antroduodenal manometry (ADM) in 50 patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and hypermobile Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) compared to 189 non-HSD/hEDS patients [<span>1</span>]. ADM, a labour-intensive and technically challenging procedure, comes the closest to the gold standard of histopathological evaluation of full-thickness tissue specimens for diagnosing enteric myopathy or neuropathy. Key findings of the study were similar rates of antroduodenal dysmotility and delayed gastric emptying, but less enteric dysmotility in HSD/hEDS patients. As discussed, malnutrition was highly prevalent with 76% of HSD/hEDS patients receiving enteral (62%) or parenteral (13%) support. In contrast, the non-HSD/hEDS comparator group had nearly double the proportion of patients not receiving enteral or parenteral nutrition, suggesting differences in meal tolerability. The ADM protocol employed in this study only allowed a ‘one shot’ assessment of enteric function via a single meal. While logistical and technical challenges exist, 24-h recordings present more opportunities to detect enteric motility between meals, in response to multiple meals, in response to a non-meal stimulus through promotility agents, and diurnal variation [<span>2</span>]. The conclusion of a lower prevalence of enteric dysmotility in the HSD/hEDS cohort based on a single meal challenge in patients with poor meal tolerability during ADM may be premature.</p><p>Delayed gastric emptying was present in 85% of the HSD/hEDS cohort. While validated symptom scores for gastroparesis and/or functional dyspepsia were not captured, the corresponding predominant symptom was a cardinal gastroparesis symptom in most patients (nausea/vomiting > 50% and abdominal pain and excessive fullness ~25% of HSD/hEDS group), projected to meet diagnostic criteria for gastroparesis. In gastroparesis overall (i.e., not limited to HSD/hEDS), constipation remains understudied and poorly understood from a pathophysiological standpoint. Fifty-eight percent of patients with gastroparesis have moderate to very severe constipation, and the severity of constipation symptoms correlates with the severity of gastroparesis symptoms [<span>3</span>]. Based on our clinical observations and the lack of use of a prospective stool diary in this study, constipation was probably underreported by HSD/hEDS participants. Underlying rectal evacuation disorders are key drivers of pathophysiology in severe constipation and are present in 60%–75% of patients with HSD/hEDS undergoing anorectal manometry [<span>4, 5</span>].</p><p>While the prevalence of enteric dysmotility or neuropathy in HSD/hEDS remains unclear, more than half of HSD/hEDS patients have associated postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and dysautonomia [<span>6</span>].

Enteric dysmotility is often thought to be the underlying cause of food intolerance.

However, given the invasive nature and feasibility of 24-h measurements, we also see major challenges.

A broader view on the pathophysiological mechanism underlying gastrointestinal symptoms in HSD/hEDS patients is necessary. Visceral hypersensitivity should be explored further in this context: it is well described in relation to disorders of gut-brain interaction and contributes significantly to symptom generation in response to normal physiological stimuli, such as food [<span>5</span>]. This phenomenon can be translated to patients with HSD/hEDS, who can exhibit characteristics of central sensitisation and enhanced pain perception, possibly linked to autonomic dysfunction [<span>6</span>].

Anti-TNF therapy showed high response rates for axial (59.1%-61.8%) and peripheral arthritis (73.4%-81.2%). The lowest improvement was in patients treated with vedolizumab for joint manifestations.
