Effects of Codeine on Esophageal Peristalsis in Patients With Ineffective Esophageal Motility: Studies Using High-resolution Manometry. J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2024; 30:38-45. [PMID: 38173157 PMCID: PMC10774797 DOI: 10.5056/jnm22131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims This study aims to evaluate the effects of acute codeine administration on primary and secondary esophageal peristalsis in patients with ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). Methods Eighteen IEM patients (8 women; mean age 37.8 years, range 23-64 years) were enrolled in the study. The patients underwent high-resolution manometry exams, consisting of 10 single wet swallows, multiple rapid swallows, and ten 20 mL rapid air injections to trigger secondary peristalsis. All participants completed 2 separate sessions, including acute administration of codeine (60 mg) and placebo, in a randomized order. Results Codeine significantly increased the distal contractile integral (566 ± 81 mmHg∙s∙cm vs 247 ± 36 mmHg∙s∙cm, P = 0.001) and shortened distal latency (5.7 ± 0.2 seconds vs 6.5 ± 0.1 seconds, P < 0.001) for primary peristalsis compared with these parameters after placebo treatment. The mean total break length decreased significantly after codeine treatment compared with the length after placebo (P = 0.003). Codeine significantly increased esophagogastric junction-contractile integral (P = 0.028) but did not change the 4-second integrated relaxation pressure (P = 0.794). Codeine significantly decreased the frequency of weak (P = 0.039) and failed contractions (P = 0.009), resulting in increased frequency of normal primary peristalsis (P < 0.136). No significant differences in the ratio of impaired multiple rapid swallows inhibition and parameters of secondary peristalsis were detected. Conclusions In IEM patients, acute administration of codeine increases contraction vigor and reduces distal latency of primary esophageal peristalsis, but has no effect on secondary peristalsis. Future studies are required to further elucidate clinical relevance of these findings, especially in the setting of gastroesophageal reflux disease with IEM.

Xu H, Wei J, Chen D, Li Y, Shen Q. Assessing causality between osteoarthritis and gastrointestinal disorders: a Mendelian randomization study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:19603. [PMID: 37950016 PMCID: PMC10638284 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-46767-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The association between osteoarthritis (OA) and gastrointestinal disorders was found in observational studies. However, the causality is still elusive. A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome wide association studies data was conducted to assess the causal association between OA and gastrointestinal diseases [including peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)]. A two-step MR (TSMR) was conducted between OA, gastrointestinal diseases and drugs to explore the mediating effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids use. We used multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis to further validate the impact of prescription history on diseases. Results had statistical significance at a Bonferroni corrected P-value below 0.008. We observed that genetically predicted OA had a significant positive association with GORD [odds ratio (OR) = 1.26, P = 5e-05], but not with PUD or IBD. Regarding the other direction, gastrointestinal disorders as exposure had a null association with OA. Using TSMR, OA patients tended to increase the use of NSAIDs (OR = 1.45, P = 0.001) and opioids (OR = 1.77, P = 2e-05), but only the use of opioids increased the risk of GORD (OR = 1.43, P = 5e-09). Further MVMR analysis showed that the adverse effect of OA on GORD was significantly reduced after adjusting for opioids use (OR = 1.20, P = 0.038). This study provides evidence for the causal association between OA and increased risk of GORD, which is partly attributed to opioids use in OA patients but not NSAIDs.

Chronic opioid use is associated with obstructive and spastic disorders in the esophagus. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2022; 34:e14233. [PMID: 34532898 PMCID: PMC11152085 DOI: 10.1111/nmo.14233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 07/03/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic opioid effects on the esophagus are poorly understood. We investigated whether opioids were associated with increased prevalence of esophageal motility disorders. METHODS A retrospective study of all patients undergoing high-resolution manometry (HREM) at the Yale Gastrointestinal Motility Lab between January 2014 and August 2019. Data were extracted from the electronic medical record after studies were reviewed by two motility specialists using the Chicago Classification v.3.0. We compared the manometric results of patients who use opioids to those who do not and adjusted for type and dose of opioids using a 24 h Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) scale to compare patients taking low or high amounts of opioids. RESULTS Four manometric abnormalities were significantly different between the opioid and non-opioid users. Achalasia type III, esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO), and distal esophageal spasm (DES) (p < 0.005, p < 0.01, and p < 0.005, respectively) were common among opioid users, whereas ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) was more common among non-opioid users (p < 0.01). The incidence of EGJOO was significantly higher in opioid users compared to non-opioid users (p < 0.001). Lastly, IRP, DCI, and distal latency were significantly different between the two groups. Patients in the high MME group had significantly greater IRP, DCI, and lower distal latency than non-opioids (p < 0.001). Also, achalasia type III and DES were more common in the high but not the low MME group. CONCLUSIONS Opioid use is associated with multiple abnormalities on esophageal motility and these effects may be dose-dependent.
