Prevalence of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease symptoms and reflux-associated respiratory symptoms in asthma
BACKGROUND Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) symptoms are common in asthma and have been extensively studied, but less so in the Asian continent. Reflux-associated respiratory symptoms (RARS) have, in contrast, been little-studied globally. We report the prevalence of GORD symptoms and RARS in adult asthmatics, and their association with asthma severity and medication use. METHODS A cr...
متن کاملGASTRO-OESOPHAGEAL REFLUX Mechanisms of gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm and term infants with reflux disease
Background: Transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation (TLOSR) is the predominant mechanism of gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) in healthy infants but the mechanisms of GOR in infants with GOR disease (GORD) are poorly understood. Aims: To measure the occurrence of TLOSR, GOR, and gastric emptying (GE) rate in preterm and term infants with GORD. Patients: Thirty six infants were studied an...
متن کاملAcid suppression does not change respiratory symptoms in children with asthma and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have shown an association between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and asthma, and oesophageal acid perfusion may cause bronchial constriction. However, no causative relation has been proven. AIM To assess whether acid suppression would lead to reduced asthma symptoms in children with concomitant asthma and GORD. METHODS Thirty eight children (mean...
متن کاملPrevalence, clinical predictors and diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux in children with persistent respiratory symptoms.
OBJECTIVES This was a cross sectional study conducted in the Paediatric Institute among infants and children with chronic respiratory symptoms with the following objectives: i) to determine the prevalence of gastro-oesophageal reflux in children with persistent respiratory symptoms, ii) to identify the clinical predictors of GOR (Gastro-oesophageal reflux) in children with persistent respirator...
متن کاملAssociations between respiratory symptoms, lung function and gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms in a population-based birth cohort
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported an association between asthma and gastro-oesophageal reflux, but it is unclear which condition develops first. The role of obesity in mediating this association is also unclear. We explored the associations between respiratory symptoms, lung function, and gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms in a birth cohort of approximately 1000 individuals. METHODS In...
