Impact of Malnutrition on Breathing and Kidney Function in Adults With Esophageal Achalasia Undergoing Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy POEM

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the impact of malnutrition on respiratory and kidney complications in patients undergoing peroral endoscopic myotomy POEM surgery for esophageal achalasia. The study aims to classify patients into mild, moderate, and severe malnutrition risk groups using preoperative albumin levels and the MUST malnutrition score. It also examines how malnutrition severity, demographic factors, and other health conditions relate to complications after surgery. Participants will be grouped based on their MUST malnutrition scores, which assess body mass index, weight loss, and feeding difficulties before surgery. The study categorizes patients into three malnutrition severity groups mild, moderate, and severe. These groupings allow researchers to compare outcomes related to respiratory and kidney function following the POEM procedure. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for up to 12 weeks after surgery to track respiratory and renal complications. Researchers will assess malnutrition status and use the escart score during this period. The study also plans to evaluate longer-term respiratory and kidney outcomes at 3 months post-procedure, with assessments including clinical evaluations and laboratory tests to understand the relationship between malnutrition and postoperative recovery.
