Item Esophageal motility disorders on high-resolution manometry: Chicago classification version 4.0(2021) Yadlapati, Rena; Kahrilas, Peter J.; Fox, Mark R.; Bredenoord, Albert J.; Gyawali, C. Prakash; Roman, Sabine; Babaei, Arash; Mittal, Ravinder K.; Rommel, Nathalie; Savarino, Edoardo; Sifrim, Daniel; Smout, André; Vaezi, Michael F.; Zerbib, Frank; Akiyama, Junichi; Bhatia, Shobna; Bor, Serhat; Carlson, Dustin A.; Chen, Joan W.; Cisternas, Daniel; Cock, Charles; Coss-Adame, Enrique; Bortoli, Nicola de; Defilippi, Claudia; Fass, Ronnie; Ghoshal, Uday C.; Gonlachanvit, Sutep; Hani, Albis; Hebbard, Geoffrey S.; Jung, Kee Wook; Katz, Philip; Katzka, David A.; Khan, Abraham; Kohn, Geoffrey Paul; Lazarescu, Adriana; Lengliner, Johannes; Mittal, Sumeet K.; Omari, Taher; Park, Moo I.; Penagini, Roberto; Pohl, Daniel; Richter, Joel E.; Serra, Jordi; Sweis, Rami; Tack, Jan; Tatum, Roger P.; Tutuian, Radu; Vela, Marcelo F.; Wong, Reuben K.; Wu, Justin C.; Xiao, Yinglian; Pandolfino, John E.Chicago Classification v4.0 (CCv4.0) is the updated classification scheme for esopha-geal motility disorders using metrics from high-resolution manometry (HRM). Fifty-two diverse international experts separated into seven working subgroups utilized formal validated methodologies over two-years to develop CCv4.0. Key updates in CCv.4.0 consist of a more rigorous and expansive HRM protocol that incorporates supine and upright test positions as well as provocative testing, a refined definition of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow obstruction (EGJOO), more stringent diag-nostic criteria for ineffective esophageal motility and description of baseline EGJ met-rics. Further, the CCv4.0 sought to define motility disorder diagnoses as conclusive and inconclusive based on associated symptoms, and findings on provocative testing as well as supportive testing with barium esophagram with tablet and/or functional lumen imaging probe. These changes attempt to minimize ambiguity in prior iterations of Chicago Classification and provide more standardized and rigorous criteria for pat-terns of disorders of peristalsis and obstruction at the EGJPublication High-resolution manometry thresholds and motor patterns among asymptomatic individuals.(2022) Rengarajan, Arvind; Rogers, Benjamin D.; Wong, Zhiqin; Tolone, Salvatore; Sifrim, Daniel; Serra, Jordi; Savarino, Edoardo; Roman, Sabine; Remes-Troche, Jose M.; Ramos, Rosa; Perez de la Serna, Julio; Pauwels, Ans; Leguizamo, Ana Maria; Yeh Lee, Yeong; Kawamura, Osamu; Hayat, Jamal; Hani, Albis; Gonlachanvit, Sutep; Cisternas, Daniel; Cisternas, Daniel; Carlson, Dustin; Bor, Serhat; Bhatia, Shobna; Abrahao, Luiz; Pandolfino, John; Gyawali, C. PrakashObjective: High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the current standard for characterization of esophageal body and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) function. We aimed to examine the prevalence of abnormal esophageal motor patterns in health, and to determine optimal thresholds for software metrics across HRM systems. Design: Manometry studies from asymptomatic adults were solicited from motility centers worldwide, and were manually analyzed using integrated relaxation pressure (IRP), distal latency (DL), and distal contractile integral (DCI) in standardized fashion. Normative thresholds were assessed using fifth and/or 95th percentile values. Chicago Classification v3.0 criteria were applied to determine motor patterns across HRM systems, study positions (upright vs supine), ages, and genders. Results: Of 469 unique HRM studies (median age 28.0, range 18-79 years). 74.6% had a normal HRM pattern; none had achalasia. Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) was the most frequent motor pattern identified (15.1% overall), followed by EGJ outflow obstruction (5.3%). Proportions with IEM were lower using stringent criteria (10.0%), especially in supine studies (7.1%-8.5%). Other motor patterns were rare (0.2%-4.1% overall) and did not vary by age or gender. DL thresholds were close to current norms across HRM systems, while IRP thresholds varied by HRM system and study position. Both fifth and 95th percentile DCI values were lower than current thresholds, both in upright and supine positions. Conclusions: Motor abnormalities are infrequent in healthy individuals and consist mainly of IEM, proportions of which are lower when using stringent criteria in the supine position. Thresholds for HRM metrics vary by HRM system and study position.Item Treatment of supragastric belching with cognitive behavioral therapy improves quality of life and reduces acid gastroesophageal reflux(2018) Glasinovic, Esteban; Arguero, Julieta; Ooi's, Joanne; Yazaki, Etsuro; Hajek, Peter; Wynter, E.; Nakagawa, A.; Psych, Clin; Woodland, Philip; Sifrim, DanielObjectives: Excessive supragastric belching (SGB) manifests as troublesome belching, and can be associated with reflux and significant impact on quality of life (QOL). In some GERD patients, SGB-associated reflux contributes to up to 1/3 of the total esophageal acid exposure. We hypothesized that a cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBT) might reduce SGB, improve QOL, and reduce acid gastroesophageal reflux (GOR). We aimed to assess the effectiveness of CBT in patients with pathological SGB. Methods: Patients with SGB were recruited at the Royal London Hospital. Patients attended CBT sessions focused on recognition of warning signals and preventative exercises. Objective outcomes were the number of SGBs, esophageal acid exposure time (AET), and proportion of AET related to SGBs. Subjective evaluation was by patient-reported questionnaires. Results: Of 51 patients who started treatment, 39 completed the protocol, of whom 31 had a follow-up MII-pH study. The mean number of SGBs decreased significantly after CBT (before: 116 (47-323) vs. after 45 (22-139), P<0.0003). Sixteen of 31 patients were shown to have a reduction in SGB by >50%. In patients with increased AET at baseline, AET after CBT was decreased: 9.0-6.1% (P=0.005). Mean visual analog scale severity scores decreased after CBT (before: 260 (210-320) mm vs. after: 140 (80-210) mm, P<0.0001). Conclusions: Cognitive behavioral therapy reduced the number of SGB and improved social and daily activities. Careful analysis of MII-pH allows identification of a subgroup of GERD patients with acid reflux predominantly driven by SGB. In these patients, CBT can reduce esophageal acid exposure.Publication Updates to the modern diagnosis of GERD: Lyon consensus 2.0(2023) Gyawali, Prakash; Yadlapati, Rena; Fass, Ronnie; Katzka, David; Pandolfino, John; Savarino, Edoardo; Sifrim, Daniel; Spechler, Stuart; Zerbib, Frank; Fox, Mark; Bhatia, Shobna; De Bortoli, Nicola; Kyung Cho, Yu; Cisternas, Daniel; Chen, Chien-Lin; Cock, Charles; Hani, Albis; Remes, Jose; Xiao, Yinglian; Vaezi, Michael; Roman, SabineThe Lyon Consensus provides conclusive criteria for and against the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and adjunctive metrics that consolidate or refute GERD diagnosis when primary criteria are borderline or inconclusive. An international core and working group was assembled to evaluate research since publication of the original Lyon Consensus, and to vote on statements collaboratively developed to update criteria. The Lyon Consensus 2.0 provides a modern definition of actionable GERD, where evidence from oesophageal testing supports revising, escalating or personalising GERD management for the symptomatic patient. Symptoms that have a high versus low likelihood of relationship to reflux episodes are described. Unproven versus proven GERD define diagnostic strategies and testing options. Patients with no prior GERD evidence (unproven GERD) are studied using prolonged wireless pH monitoring or catheter-based pH or pH-monitoring off antisecretory medication, while patients with conclusive GERD evidence (proven GERD) and persisting symptoms are evaluated using pH-impedance monitoring while on optimised antisecretory therapy. The major changes from the original Lyon Consensus criteria include establishment of Los Angeles grade B oesophagitis as conclusive GERD evidence, description of metrics and thresholds to be used with prolonged wireless pH monitoring, and inclusion of parameters useful in diagnosis of refractory GERD when testing is performed on antisecretory therapy in proven GERD. Criteria that have not performed well in the diagnosis of actionable GERD have been retired. Personalisation of investigation and management to each patient's unique presentation will optimise GERD diagnosis and management.
