Managing chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Evidence-Based Answer Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are superior to histamine H2 antagonists for treating chronic GERD. Comparisons among different PPIs or among different dosages and dosing regimens show few consistent differences. Limited studies suggest that continuous daily dosing provides improved symptom control and quality of life at six months compared with on-demand dosing. Surgery app...

متن کاملAcid gastroesophageal reflux and intensity of symptoms in children with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Comparison of primary gastroesophageal reflux and gastroesophageal reflux secondary to food allergy.
UNLABELLED The ability to differentiate between primary and secondary causes of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is extremely important during the diagnostic procedure. At the same time, the quality of symptoms and the intensity of the course of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should be estimated. Acid GER is assessed using 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring; the results of this diagnostic te...
متن کاملEsophagogastric Junction Contractility Integral Reflect the Anti-reflux Barrier Dysfunction in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Background/Aims Anti-reflux barrier dysfunction is one of the primary mechanisms in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) pathogenesis. The esophagogastric junction contractile integral (EGJ-CI) is a new metric adopted to evaluate the EGJ contractility, which implies the antireflux barrier function. The aim of the current study was to validate this new metric in patients with GERD and its corr...
