Esophageal dysfunction in scleroderma: relationship with disease subsets

Arthritis and Rheumatism
G BassottiG Emanuelli

Abstract

To investigate the relationship between esophageal function and the extent of disease in a nonselected group of scleroderma patients, and to study gastric and small bowel motility in a group of scleroderma patients with more severe clinical manifestations. Esophageal function in 125 scleroderma patients was investigated by radiologic, endoscopic, manometric, and pH-metric techniques. Ten patients also underwent gastrointestinal (GI) manometric recording, both during fasting and after a standard meal. Radiologic abnormalities of the esophagus were found in 55 of 81 patients (68%) and esophagitis in 45 of 125 (36%). No significant relationship was disclosed between GI symptoms, radiologic abnormalities, esophagitis grade, and the various disease subsets. However, the overall incidence of endoscopic esophagitis (irrespective of the degree) was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with the patient subgroups, with 100% incidence of esophagitis in those having the more severe cutaneous involvement (type III). Manometric abnormalities were documented in 80% of patients, and pathologic reflux in 78%. The severity of esophageal abnormalities on manometry significantly correlated with the severity of the disease, whereas no correlations w...Continue Reading
