Health-Related Quality of Life and Physiological Outcomes of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Achalasia

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has gained acceptance as a treatment for achalasia. The aim of this study was to assess symptomatic, quality of life (QoL), and physiological outcomes of POEM using standardized methods. Patients who were planned to undergo POEM were evaluated pre- and postoperative...

Zusammenfassung:	Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has gained acceptance as a treatment for achalasia. The aim of this study was to assess symptomatic, quality of life (QoL), and physiological outcomes of POEM using standardized methods. Patients who were planned to undergo POEM were evaluated pre- and postoperatively with timed barium esophagogram (TBE), high-resolution manometry (HRM), the achalasia symptom questionnaire (ASQ) (best score 10, worst score 31), and the short form (SF)-36 (best score 100, worst score 0). Nine patients completed postoperative HRM, TBE, and 48 hours esophageal pH monitoring. A P-value of
