Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between the clinical symptoms of patients with achalasia of cardia (AC) and high-resolution manometry (HRM) parameters.Methods The clinical data of 30 AC patients were retrospectively analyzed.The severe degree of symptoms was evaluated by Eckardt score questionnaires,and motility of esophagus was assessed by HRM parameters.According to Chicago classification,patients were divided into three types.Mann-Whitney U test was performed for non normal distribution quantitative data comparison.Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between AC symptoms and the HRM parameters.Results The reflux symptom of type Ⅱ patients was more severe than that of type Ⅰ patients (2.50(1.00) vs 1.00(1.50),U=56.000,P＜0.05).The integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) was moderately correlated with total Eckardt score of all AC patients,the frequency of reflux and the degree of body weight loss (r=0.528,0.441 and 0.662,all P＜0.05),furthermore IRP was strongly correlated with the degree in weight loss in type Ⅰ AC patients (r =0.703,P＜ 0.05).Lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure was weakly correlated with the degree of weight loss in all AC patients (r=0.398,P＜0.05).Conclusions The degree of severity of symptoms may be different in different types of AC patients.HRM parameters,especially IRP,might play a role in the assessment of severity of AC symptoms.
