Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is manometry of the upper esophageal sphincter and pharynx useful in unselected patients referred for esophageal testing?
Answer: An unexpected UES/P finding resulted in a change in therapy in only six of the manometries. Barium esophagogram was diagnostic of the oropharyngeal abnormality in nearly two-thirds of the patients in whom it was clinically suspected. These data, along with limited therapeutic options, suggest limited usefulness for routine UES/P manometry.
Output (English): no
