Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the changes in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in 160 patients one year after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and aimed to identify preoperative predictive factors.* -
- Results indicated that while about 36.3% of patients reported GERD symptoms after surgery, some experienced improvements, and 29.6% of those who were initially asymptomatic developed new symptoms.* -
- The only significant predictors of postoperative GERD symptoms were preoperative GERD symptoms and positive preoperative ambulatory pH monitoring in asymptomatic patients, rather than other factors like manometric measurements or weight loss.*
Background: Esophageal motility disorders are most often of primary origin but may be secondary to an occult malignancy or another etiology. High-resolution esophageal manometry cannot differentiate between secondary or primary origin. This study aimed at discussing the usefulness of a morphological assessment in the diagnosis of specific esophageal motility disorders, and to establish the predictive factors of a potential secondary origin.

Eating a meal is a key factor in the occurrence of symptoms during functional dyspepsia, and patients frequently request dietary advice that could relieve these symptoms. Eating behaviors, irregular meal patterns, and moderate-to-fast eating rates are significantly associated with functional dyspepsia.
