The Gerd-Q scores during the postoperative follow-up were collected to determine the incidence of GERD. A logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the correlation of the HREM results and general clinical data with the incidence of GERD after LSG.Results: The percentage of synchronous contractions, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) resting pressure, and history of smoking were correlated with the development of GERD after LSG, with the history of smoking and percentage of synchronous contractions as risk factors and LES resting pressure as a protective factor. The training set showed an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the nomogram model of 0.847. The validation set showed an AUC of 0.761. The decision and clinical impact curves showed a high clinical value for the prediction model.Conclusion: The HREM results correlated with the development of GERD after LSG, with the percentage of synchronous contractions and LES resting pressure showing predictive value. Combined with the history of smoking, the predictive model showed a high confidence and clinical value.Keywords: gastroesophageal reflux disease, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, high-resolution esophageal manometry, complications
