The Prevalence of Esophageal Hypomotility and Its Relationship With Dysmotility Score in Vietnamese Patients Having Reflux Symptoms.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of esophageal hypomotility and examine its association with FSSG scores among Vietnamese patients presenting with reflux symptoms.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in 403 adults with reflux-suspected symptoms and a GERD-Q score ≥ 8 undergoing high-resolution manometry (HRM) at Hoang Long Clinic (Hanoi, Vietnam). FSSG comprised two main components, including reflux score (FSSG-R) and dysmotility score (FSSG-M). Esophageal motility disorders were classified according to Chicago Classification v4.0; hypomotility disorders included ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) and absent contractility.

Results

The mean FSSG total score and FSSG-M score were 15.91 ± 5.94 and 8.03 ± 3.84, respectively. On manometry, 66.0
