Sex differences in symptoms, high-resolution manometry values and efficacy of peroral endoscopic myotomy in Chinese patients with achalasia.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:We aimed to identify the differences in symptoms, high-resolution manometry (HRM) characteristics, and the efficacy of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) regarding patients' sex in achalasia. METHODS:All patients diagnosed with achalasia by HRM who underwent POEM and were followed up for more than 6 months were included. The individual characteristics, symptoms and signs, POEM findings, HRM results and potentially related complications in male and female patients were reviewed. RESULTS:Prior to POEM, dysphagia was more severe in female than male patients (P = 0.044), while regurgitation was more severe (P = 0.013) and heartburn was more common in male patients (P = 0.003). Regarding HRM characteristics, the lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) was higher (P = 0.01) and length of esophagus was shorter in female patients than in male patients. Eckardt scores, LESP and integrated relaxation pressure were significantly improved after the POEM procedure (P < 0.001). No significant difference was observed between the sexes regarding the efficacy of POEM, reflux symptoms, HRM data and complications after POEM. CONCLUSIONS:Before they seek treatment, female patients with achalasia may experience severe dysphagia and male patients are more likely to experience heartburn and more severe regurgitation. POEM is a safe and effective option for treating both male and female patients with achalasia.
