Performing, Analyzing, and Interpreting HRAM and HDAM Recordings

2020

Anorectal manometry is one of the most widely performed tests for the assessment of anal sphincter function and anorectal coordination. Nowadays high resolution (HRAM) and high definition anorectal manometry (HDAM) are available, instead of the water-perfused system. The ability to visualize the anorectum as a dynamic structure during test maneuvers should intuitively allow for a better appreciation of the normal physiology and hopefully enhance our understanding of the pathophysiology of defecatory dysfunctions. Even if the anorectal manometry protocols can vary by centers, the procedure must include an assessment of rectoanal pressure and anal canal length at rest, cough reflex test, rect…

Bloating is associated with worse quality of life, treatment satisfaction, and treatment responsiveness among patients with constipation-predominant …

2016

Background The management of bloating is unclear and its relationship with patients' well-being and treatment satisfaction independent of other abdominal symptoms is uncharacterized. We evaluated the association of bloating with patient-reported outcomes. Methods Thirty-nine centers for functional gastrointestinal disorders joined the laxative inadequate relief survey. We enrolled 2203 consecutive outpatients with functional constipation (FC) or constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) in two cross-sectional waves. Both wave 1 and 2 included the SF-12, the patient assessment of constipation-symptoms (PAC-SYM), and the treatment satisfaction questionnaire for medication (TSQ…
