Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology 2025年3月27日BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pediatric achalasia and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are not well investigated. This study aimed to examine the clinical characteristics of pediatric achalasia and evaluate the long-term outcomes of POEM. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter study across 14 high-volume centers, comparing the clinical characteristics of children (aged < 18 years) diagnosed with achalasia to those of adults (aged < 65 years). The POEM procedures and outcomes were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Of the 3421 patients with achalasia, 50 (1.5%) were children. Compared with adults, children had a shorter period to diagnosis (1.0 vs. 3.4 years; p < 0.001) and were more likely to be severely underweight (body mass index: 17.8 vs. 20.9 kg/m2; p < 0.001). However, children exhibited less esophageal dilation (46.0% vs. 64.1%; p = 0.013) and higher lower esophageal sphincter pressure (37.3 vs. 29.9 mmHg; p = 0.002). Notably, a significant failure to thrive was not observed in the pediatric group. The POEM procedure time was shorter for children compared to adults (58.0 vs. 83.0 min; p < 0.001). Clinical success rates were not significant between the two groups. Over the 5-year follow-up period, children had a lower incidence of reflux esophagitis following POEM compared to adults (11.0% vs. 26.4%; p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric achalasia is rare and typically presents with early-stage manometric and esophagogastric features, along with severe systemic symptoms requiring an early diagnosis. POEM is a durable and effective treatment for pediatric achalasia, offering advantages such as shorter procedural times and a lower incidence of postprocedure reflux compared to adults.

Journal of gastroenterology 2024年12月31日BACKGROUND: The distribution of body weight in patients with achalasia and after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has not been investigated. The role of body weight assessment after treatment remains unclear. METHODS: Using the multicenter achalasia cohort, the frequency of underweight (body mass index [BMI] < 18.5 kg/m2) and overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2) and their associated clinical characteristics were analyzed. After POEM, risk factors for insufficient- (underweight persistently) and excessive- (responded to overweight) weight gainers were investigated. The correlation between BMI-increase rate and severity of esophageal symptoms post-POEM was evaluated. RESULTS: Among 3,410 patients, 23.0% and 15.7% were underweight and overweight, respectively. Factors associated with underweight were higher age, female sex, severe symptoms, high lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, and non-dilated esophagus (all p < 0.01). Longitudinal analyses revealed that weight gain post-POEM was achieved after a long duration (≥ 12 months; p < 0.01). In 528 patients post-POEM, the frequency of underweight reduced to 8.3% (p < 0.01). Risk factors for insufficient-weight gain (36.1% of underweight patients) included low BMI (p < 0.01) and high LES pressure (p = 0.03) and conversely for excessive-weight gain. Machine learning models based on patient characteristics successfully predicted insufficient- and excessive-weight gainers with an area under the curve value of 0.74 and 0.75, respectively. Esophageal symptoms post-POEM did not correlate with BMI increase. CONCLUSION: Underweight is not solely a condition of advanced achalasia. After POEM, insufficient- or excessive-weight gainers are not rare and can be predicted preoperatively. Body weight change is an independent nutrition parameter rather than a part of the assessment of residual esophageal symptoms.
