Title: Tu1622 Evaluation of Relationship Between Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPRD)
Abstract: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as a condition that develops when reflux of the stomach contents involving gastric acid juice causes troublesome symptoms. GERD typically presents heartburn and regurgitation, but it can also present atypically as chronic cough, throat pain, and asthma. Atypical symptoms such as chronic cough, throat pain, and asthma are considered to be associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). Currently, LPRD is associated with laryngeal irritation such as laryngitis caused by reflux of the gastric acid juice. However, the accurate relationship between GERD, especially endoscopic positive esophagitis (EE) and LPRD is still unknown. In this study, we examined the grades of EE and the larynx findings using esophago-gastroendoscopy, and investigated the relationship between GERD and LPRD.
