However, its characterization, particularly focusing on its impact on quality of life (QoL), remains limited. This prospective study aimed to characterize this population regarding epidemiological, clinical, and manometric aspects.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>From September 2021 to February 2024, 250 NOD patients were recruited from seven centers. All subjects underwent a comprehensive diagnostic work-up, including upper endoscopy with biopsies, high-resolution esophageal manometry, and timed barium esophagogram, when applicable. Epidemiological and clinical data were collected using the Eckardt, Gerd-Q, and the Portuguese versions of Euro-Qol-5D-3L (EQ-5D) and PROMIS Gastrointestinal Disrupted Swallowing (PDS) scales.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Patients were predominantly female (60.8%) with a median age of 63\u00a0years [IQR 20]. According to Chicago v4.0, normal esophageal motility was the most frequent diagnosis (n\u2009=\u200993, 37.2%), followed by esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow disorders (79 achalasia, 4 EGJ outflow obstruction). Among motility disorders, Eckardt and PDS scores were higher in EGJ outflow disorders (median 5 and mean T-score 64.1, respectively; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), although their ability to primarily identify these conditions was limited. Regarding patient-reported QoL, no significant differences were found in EQ-5D, both for time trade-off and visual analog scale values.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In summary, normal esophageal motility was the most frequent manometric finding in NOD patients. Although symptom severity was worse in EGJ outflow disorders, QoL appeared equally affected across all motility profiles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/dote\/doaf084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,6]],"date-time":"2025-10-06T17:18:34Z","timestamp":1759771114000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Manometric
