Article Synopsis
- The study focused on patients who experienced reflux symptoms unresponsive to proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of functional esophageal disorders (FED) in this group.
- Of the 190 patients analyzed, a significant majority (83.2%) were diagnosed with FED, primarily functional heartburn and reflux hypersensitivity, compared to a smaller subgroup (16.8%) with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD).
- Findings indicated that individuals with FED had a lower body mass index and a higher incidence of psychological issues and poor sleep quality, which were closely linked to the severity of their reflux symptoms.
Background And Aims: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines were rapidly implemented globally and vaccine-associated immune-related hepatitis was recently reported. We aim to investigate its impact in regions endemic of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Methods: We retrospectively collected patients who developed hepatitis within 90 days after COVID-19 vaccination in Taiwan.
