1 Supplementary appendix This appendix formed part of the original submission and has been peer reviewed. We post it as supplied by the authors. Supplement to: Ang D, Misselwitz B, Hollenstein M, et al. Diagnostic yield of high-resolution manometry with a solid test meal for clinically relevant, symptomatic disorders: serial diagnostic study. Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2017; published online July 3.

2 Supplemental Figures Figure S1: Diagnostic hierarchy for esophageal disorders. Similar to Chicago Classification v3.0, only abnormalities that occurred more than once were classified as a disorder. 1

3 Achalasia EGJ outflow Spasm Hypercontractile Absent Oesophageal Motility Hypertensive Normal Total Achalasia EGJ outflow Spasm Hypercontractile Absent Hypertensive Normal Total Figure S2: Diagnostic agreement between single water swallows (SWS) and solid test meal (STM) in the validation set. The prevalence of all major disorders, except absent peristalsis, was increased with STM. SWS: single water swallows; STM: solid test meal; EGJ: esophagogastric junction; IEM: ineffective Pink tabs: minor/normal HRM with SWS and major disorder on STM Green tabs: major disorder on SWS and minor/normal HRM findings with STM Blue tabs: minor/normal findings on both SWS and STM 2

4 Figure S3: Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow with solid test meal (STM): A 67-year-old female with dysphagia and intermittent "vomiting" of undigested material. Endoscopy and radiology were normal. Acid suppression did not improve symptoms. Panel A shows normal esophageal contractility and normal EGJ function with SWS (IRP 13 mmhg). Panel B demonstrates EGJ outflow with IRP 29.9 mmhg during STM. Symptoms of dysphagia were associated with compartmentalized pressurization (IRP>50mmHg). 3

5 Figure S4: Peristalsis reserve in solid test meal (STM). A 73-year-old male referred for atypical chest pain distinct from his usual angina pain. Cardiac evaluation and endoscopy were normal. 24 hour ph study showed normal acid exposure and negative symptom correlation. Panel A shows ineffective/weak peristalsis with single water swallows (SWS). Panel B demonstrates normal peristalsis with effective clearance during STM indicating preserved physiological reserve. 4

6 Figure S5: Distal esophageal spasm with solid test meal (STM): A 46-year-old female with persistent heartburn with poor response to acid suppression. Endoscopy was normal. 24 hour ph study showed normal esophageal acid exposure. Panel A shows normal, well-coordinated persistalsis and normal EGJ function with SWS (Distal latency DL s). Panel B shows symptomatic spasm with STM. 5

7 Figure S6: Hypercontractile oesophagus with solid test meal (STM): A 49-year-old male with intermittent chest pain after meals, as well as intermittent "vomiting". Endoscopy and radiology were normal. Acid suppression did not improve symptoms. Panel A shows normal peristalsis with single water swallows (SWS). Panel B shows hypercontractile " Jackhammer" esophagus during STM with DCI>8000 mmhg.cm.s 6

8 Figure S7: Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow with solid test meal (STM):A 48-year-old female with progressive dysphagia and chest pain following placement of a gastric band 4 years earlier. Symptoms did not improve despite deflation of the band. Endoscopy and radiology showed normal postoperative findings. Panel A shows normal with single water swallows (SWS). Panel B shows symptomatic at the level of the gastric band 5cm distal to the EGJ. At operation, symptoms were attributed to extensive fibrous reaction to the gastric band. 7

9 Supplementary Table 1. Comparison of HRM metrics used to define abnormal esophageal by the Chicago Classification version 3.0 (CCv3.0) for single water swallows and the modified Chicago Classification for Solid Swallows (CC-S) for the solid test meal.
