Personalized anti-reflux surgery: connecting GERD phenotypes in 690 patients to outcomes. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Anti-reflux surgeries are effective for treating GERD, but outcomes can vary significantly among patients based on their specific characteristics, or "phenotypes."
  • Researchers analyzed data from 690 patients who underwent anti-reflux procedures and identified twelve distinct phenotypes based on factors like obesity, esophageal motility, and hernias.
  • The study found that while some phenotypes had better outcomes short-term, no significant differences were noted in patient-reported outcomes after five years, suggesting the need for further research to understand these variations better.

Article Abstract

Background: Anti-reflux operations are effective treatments for GERD. Despite standardized surgical techniques, variability in post-operative outcomes persists. Most patients with GERD possess one or more characteristics that augment their disease and may affect post-operative outcomes-a GERD "phenotype". We sought to define these phenotypes and to compare their post-operative outcomes.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of a prospective gastroesophageal database at our institution, selecting all patients who underwent an anti-reflux procedure for GERD. Patients were grouped into different phenotypes based on the presence of four characteristics known to play a role in GERD: hiatal or paraesophageal hernia (PEH), hypotensive LES, esophageal dysmotility, delayed gastric emptying (DGE), and obesity. Patient-reported outcomes (GERD-HRQL, dysphagia, and reflux symptom index (RSI) scores) were compared across phenotypes using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

Results: 690 patients underwent an anti-reflux procedure between 2008 and 2022. Most patients underwent a Nissen fundoplication (302, 54%), followed by a Toupet or Dor fundoplication (205, 37%). Twelve distinct phenotypes emerged. Non-obese patients with normal esophageal motility, normotensive LES, no DGE, with a PEH represented the most common phenotype (134, 24%). The phenotype with the best post-operative GERD-HRQL scores at one year was defined by obesity, hypotensive LES, and PEH, while the phenotype with the worst scores was defined by obesity, ineffective motility, and PEH (1.5 ± 2.4 vs 9.8 ± 11.4, p = 0.010). There was no statistically significant difference in GERD-HRQL, dysphagia, or RSI scores between phenotypes after five years.

Conclusions: We have identified distinct phenotypes based on common GERD-associated patient characteristics. With further study these phenotypes may aid surgeons in prognosticating outcomes to individual patients considering an anti-reflux procedure.
