Objective: Gastroesophageal reflux is considered to be a disease when reflux of gastric contents causes troublesome symptoms in infants and children. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of the multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring and only pH monitoring in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease in infants and children.
Materials And Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study consisted of pediatric patients aged between 1 month and 18 years old with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients were divided into 2 groups as younger than 24 months (group 1) and older than 24 months (group 2). Twentyfour hours multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring was performed on the patients.
Results: This study included 50 pediatric patients. The mean age of the patients was 5.35 ± 4.92 years. In group 1, total reflux events were fewer than group 2 (P = .03) by pH monitoring. In group 1, the number of non-acid reflux events was higher than in group 2 and in group 2, the number of acidic reflux events was higher than group 1 (P = .04). Reflux was detected by multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring in 13 (40%) of 32 patients who were assessed as negative by pH monitoring.
Conclusion: It was concluded that more reliable results were obtained when the 2 methods were used together in this study.

Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) presents as a constellation of nonspecific upper aerodigestive tract symptoms and signs. Among many objective tools available on the market, hypopharyngeal-esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring (HEMII-pH) is considered to date the gold standard technique for diagnosing LPRD, as well as tailoring treatment according to the different LPR profiles. More studies are needed to further validate and standardize diagnostic criteria and evaluate long-term outcomes of patients diagnosed and treated for LPRD using HEMII-pH.

Background: Diagnosing laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is challenging due to overlapping symptoms. While proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed, reliable predictors of their responsiveness are unclear. Reflux monitoring technologies like dual potential of hydrogen (pH) sensors and multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) could improve diagnosis.

Objective: To propose a European consensus for managing and treating laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) to guide primary care and specialist physicians.
Methods: Twenty-three European experts (otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons) participated in a modified Delphi process to revise 38 statements about the definition, clinical management, and treatment of LPRD. Three voting rounds were conducted on a 5-point scale and a consensus was defined a priori as agreement by 80% of the experts.

The laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) treatment remains controversial due to the poor effectiveness of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In this paper, the author reviewed the current primary treatments used in clinical studies for managing LPRD and discussed the pharmacological, biological, and physiological properties of medication for providing clinical relevance for otolaryngological practice. A comprehensive review of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus literature was conducted to document and analyze the medical treatments of LPRD in the largest case series published in the past 20 years.

Background: Most existing literature studies reported that laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) is safe in the setting of ineffective or weak peristalsis. However, the effect of the wrap on esophageal motility is still debated. This study aimed to assess how a functioning and effective fundoplication could affect esophageal motility in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
