Oesophageal motor disorders and oesophageal endoscopic involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis: a systematic association?

In our study, only a shorter disease duration and a shorter delay between SSc diagnosis and UGIE were significantly associated with the presence of endoscopic lesions in patients with OMD, but no other parameters were identified. This study highlights the need to perform UGIE in SSc patients with OMD whatever their clinical symptoms.
