Subjects will undergo no additional tests and procedures as part of this study. All data will be collected from patient's electronic health records (EHR) of the hospital In addition; a prospective chart review will be performed for patients who will undergo endoscopic procedures and POEM from 02/2019 - 06/2021. All the subjects enrolled in prospective chart review will be first consented for their study participation. Subjects will undergo a clinically indicated endoscopic procedure and POEM and subsequent follow-up clinical visits as part of their standard medical care. All procedures, barring research activities such as consenting and data collection from Electronic Health Records, will be either clinically indicated and/or standard of care.

  • Each patient in the study will be assigned a Case ID number to de-identify their personal health information during data collection
