AI Article Synopsis
- GERD is a common condition in children that can significantly affect both upper and lower airways, prompting the need to investigate associated symptoms in kids aged 1-12.
- Data from 143 patients who underwent 24-hour pH monitoring for GERD were analyzed, with 65 cases ultimately included, revealing high prevalence rates of bronchopulmonary (89.2%), sinonasal (72.3%), and otologic symptoms (46.1%).
- Despite these findings, no significant correlation was found between the specific symptoms and pH measurements, indicating that GERD symptoms can vary widely in pediatric patients.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common ailment in children, adding up to the evidence that gastroesophageal reflux is an important cofactor in upper airway disorders, especially in the pediatric population. It is very common for it to impact the upper and lower airways. Our goal was to assess the presence of otorhinolaryngological symptoms in children aged between one and twelve years in whom gastroesophageal reflux is suspected.
Materials And Methods: We assessed data from the charts of patients up to 12 years of age submitted to 24 hour pH measuring of one of two channels, placed at 2 and 5 cm from the LEE in order to confirm the diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Results: We studied 143 charts from children who underwent 24 hour pH measuring to investigate GERD; however, only 65 were included. The most prevalent symptoms in the children were bronchopulmonary, found in 89.2%, of sinonasal symptoms (72.3%), otologic (46.1%) and repetition UAW infections (44.6%). When we compared the presence of each group of symptoms of the results from the pH measuring, no significant differences were found between the symptoms and the pH measuring results.
Conclusion: GERD can manifest in different ways and otorhinolaryngological symptoms are frequent in children.

Introduction: Common clinical problems are frequently seen in medical students. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasingly seen in clinics and is taken seriously into consideration; from this point, we start discussing this disorder. The most important part is to find out the prevalence of GERD among medical students and determine the most dominant risk factors that affect the prognosis of the disease.

Background: As mental health awareness increases, healthcare professionals must understand the interplay between chronic gastrointestinal (GI) conditions and psychological well-being, particularly regarding healthcare utilization. This study uniquely aggregates various chronic GI disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and eosinophilic esophagitis, to examine their impact on depression and anxiety.
Methods: Utilizing a retrospective observational design, we analyzed data from 34,876 patients admitted to HCA national hospitals from January 2016 to December 2022.
