[Gastro-esophageal reflux: is there a correlation between the degree of reflux and its effects?].
2008
: In 77 patients suspected of having gastric reflux, long-term pH measurements obtained by an intraluminal pH probe were compared with manometric or endoscopic findings. There was a definite correlation between gastro-oesophageal reflux and both mild and severe stages of reflux disease. Diagnostically the significance and role of endoscopy in the course of routine diagnosis was confirmed. Analysis of the reflux pattern by long-term pH measurement made it possible to provide appropriate drug or surgical treatment of reflux disease.
