Psychiatric Illness and Contraction Abnormalities of the Esophagus
Abstract
Over a six-month period 50 patients referred for clinical esophageal manometry were independently evaluated for psychiatric diagnoses to determine whether there was any association between psychiatric illness and esophageal motility disorders. The manometric studies were blindly classified according to findings in the esophageal body. Twenty-five patients were classified as having one or more of the following contraction abnormalities: an increase in mean wave amplitude, an increase in mean wave duration, an increased frequency of abnormal motor responses, or the presence of triple-peaked waves. Psychiatric diagnoses were made in 21 (84 per cent) of the 25 patients but in only 4 (31 per cent) of the 13 patients with normal manometric patterns (P less than 0.005) and 4 (33 per cent) of the 12 with other manometric abnormalities (P less than 0.01). The fact that psychiatric illness is associated with a specific cluster of esophageal contraction abnormalities may provide a basis for further investigation of the relation between emotional disturbances and disorders of gastrointestinal motility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
