Key Points: Calculating the CARS endoscopic score and performing FLIP panometry during endoscopy can assess the likelihood of an esophageal motility disorder and potentially expedite its diagnosis. A CARS score > 4 combined with FLIP-REO is highly predictive (100% specificity/100% positive predictive value) of an EGJ obstruction diagnosis (achalasia or confirmed EGJOO) on HRM.
