Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of proximal and distal gastroesophageal reflux in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disorder and analyze their clinical symptoms. A total of 67 patients with typical esophageal symptoms were selected for this study. All participants completed the reflux disease questionnaire and a questionnaire survey of extraesophageal symptoms. Diagnosis was made using a 24-h impedance-pH detection and proton pump inhibitor. The results showed that the proximal reflux group had a higher number of acid reflux episodes compared to the distal reflux group ( P < 0.05). Similarly, the proximal reflux group also had a higher number of gas reflux episodes compared to the distal reflux group ( P < 0.05). On the other hand, the distal reflux group had a higher number of mixed reflux episodes compared to the proximal reflux group ( P < 0.05). These differences were statistically significant. This study revealed that acid reflux and gas reflux were more predominant in the proximal reflux group, while mixed reflux was more predominant in the distal reflux group.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.<br /> (© 2023 the author(s), published by De Gruyter.)
