Applying the Chicago Classification criteria of esophageal motility to a pediatric cohort: effects of patient age and size

Background Applying the 2012 C hicago C lassification ( CC ) of esophageal motility disorders to pediatric patients is problematic as it relies upon adult‐derived criteria. As shorter esophageal length and smaller esophago‐gastric junction ( EGJ ) diameter may influence CC metrics, we explored the potential for age‐ and size‐adjustment of diagnostic criteria. Methods We evaluated 76 high‐resolution solid state impedance‐manometry recordings in...
