Gastroesophageal reflux and obstructive sleep apnea.

Barrett’s esophagus and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea: a case–control study

BACKGROUND Prior studies suggest that obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease, a strong risk factor for Barrett's esophagus. The goals of this pilot case-control study were to determine whether Barrett's esophagus patients have an increased likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and to determine whether nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux symptoms affect the ...

The Study on Relationship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Daytime Somnolence Theses

Correlation between severity of endoscopic findings and apnea-hypopnea index in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and obstructive sleep apnea.

AIM To assess the relationship between severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as an indicator of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Data of 57 patients with proven obstructive sleep apnea and gastroesophageal reflux disease were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to severity of the sleep apnea: "mild-moderate" (A)-AHI >o...

Swallowing, Gastroesophageal Reflux and Sleep Apnea

Sleep-related breathing disorders in small children with nocturnal acid gastro-oesophageal reflux.

PURPOSE Coincidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome has been discussed in recent years. Treatment with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) reduces gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Moreover, treatment of gastroesophageal reflux with omeprazole can reduce the severity of obstructive ...

Association Between Non-erosive Reflux Disease and High Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Korean Population

BACKGROUND/AIMS Obstructive sleep apnea is becoming more important in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients. This study investigated the prevalence of high risk for obstructive sleep apnea in GERD patients in comparison with that in healthy controls using the Berlin Questionnaire. We also investigated the risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea in GERD patients. METHODS We enrolled...
