Abstract
Endoscopy can accurately identify achalasia with high specificity using the CARS score. While motility testing to confirm an achalasia diagnosis remains essential prior to therapy, a high CARS score may help in the early identification of achalasia, especially in settings where motility testing is not readily available.
