Correlation of sleep-disordered breathing and laryngopharyngeal reflux: A two-channel triple-sensor pHmetry catheter study
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Sep 07, 2018
Erdem D, et al. - Researchers gauged the association between sleep-disordered breathing with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) using a two-channel triple-sensor pHmetry catheter. This study included a total of 34 individuals (18 males—52.9% and 16 females—47.1%), with the age ranging from 27 to 71 years (mean 50.5 ± 11.0). In patients with sleep-disordered breathing, the prevalence of GER and LPR was high. Findings did not suggest any significant association between OSAS severity and GER and LPR grade or respiratory events and reflux episodes with regard to timing.
