Saudi Gastroenterology Association (SGA) clinical care pathway and standards of care for peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in achalasia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Graphical Abstract Export Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has become an established, minimally invasive therapy for achalasia, demonstrating high efficacy and safety across all disease subtypes. With its expanding adoption in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Gastroenterology Association (SGA) developed a clinical care pathway and standards of care to promote safe, consistent, and high-quality practice. The pathway provides evidence-based guidance encompassing all phases of care: preprocedural, intraprocedural, and postprocedural. Key covered aspects include diagnostic evaluation, patient selection, preparation, procedural techniques, documentation, and postprocedural follow up. The document also outlines requirements for endoscopist training and privileges to ensure procedural safety and optimal quality. Quality metrics were formulated to support performance monitoring and continuous improvement across all phases of care. By defining clear standards, this pathway aims to standardize clinical practice, enhance procedural safety, optimize therapeutic outcomes, and elevate the overall quality of care delivered to achalasia patients undergoing POEM.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
