2 Figure 1 Percent agreement between the second interpretation compared with the initial diagnosis. Patients with the initial diagnosis of normal, achalasia, nutcracker esophagus, and NSEMD/IEM were diagnosed similarly with the second interpretation in nearly 75% of cases (69%, 84%, 77%, and 71%, respectively). However, DES, hypotensive LES, and hypertensive LES were diagnosed only as such on the second interpretation in less than 50% of cases (27%, 41%, 48%, respectively).
