The reproducibility of ambulatory 24-h esophageal pH monitoring was evaluated in 16
consecutive patients by comparing the difference in two consecutive 24-h periods. The study
group included 8 patients with scleroderma esophagus and 8 treated achalasia patients.
The amount of reflux was expressed as the percentage of time the pH was< 4.0. Both groups
demonstrated excellent intrapatient reproducibility overall: 96% in scleroderma patients and
95% in those patients with achalasia. The least concordance was found in the lengths of the …
