We describe in detail our logic for deriving a system to score 24-hour intraesophageal pH
records of patients with gastroesophageal reflux. This system uses a uniform scoring unit …

Twenty-four-hour esophageal pH monitoring is useful for the quantitative measurement of
gastroesophageal reflux and for the demonstration of a temporal relationship between …

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common problem that frequently presents with atypical
complaints including nausea, hiccups, globus sensation, chest pain, hoarseness, coughing …

Long-term esophageal pH-metry has become the preferred test to quantify acid
gastroesophageal reflux, but its accuracy in separating physiologic from pathological reflux …

In this study, our objective was to examine prospectively, by endoscopy and histology of the
esophageal mucosa, the severity of reflux esophagitis and any possible correlation between …

Prolonged intraesophageal pH monitoring is considered by some to be the most sensitive
and specific test of gastroesophageal reflux. We prospectively examined the ability of the …

Twenty-four hour pH monitoring of the distal esophagus (24-hour pH) quantitates
gastroesophageal reflux in a near-physiologic setting by measuring the frequency and …

The results of ambulatory 24-h esophageal pH monitoring in 67 patients with
gastroesophageal reflux symptoms (endoscopic esophagitis, n= 44; normal endoscopy, n …

Ambulatory 24-h esophageal pH monitoring is an accurate quantitative test of
gastroesophageal reflux (GER). However, it does not answer the question: are the patients' …

Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who remain symptomatic despite
receiving a moderate dose of a proton pump inhibitor need accurate assessment to …
