Résumé

The contributions of swallowing and belching to specific gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) phenotypes are unclear. This study retrospectively analyzed esophageal pH/impedance studies, comparing reflux events preceded by gastric belching (GB), supragastric belching (SGB), air swallowing, and liquid/solid swallowing based on reflux position, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, and acid exposure time (AET). 20 GERD patients and 10 controls were studied. Upright GERD patients and controls had a higher proportion of reflux events with a preceding swallow or belch (0.64, 0.64) than the supine group (0.38, p = 0.043). The upright group and controls trended toward a higher proportion of reflux events preceded by overall swallowing (0.61, 0.50) and air swallowing (0.55, 0.48) than the supine group (0.32, 0.31 p = 0.064, p = 0.11), but the three groups had similar rates of liquid/solid swallowing (0.032, 0.024, 0.017, p = 0.69). LES pressure did not correlate with reflux events preceded by swallowing (R Swallowing more than belching is a dominant mechanism for reflux irrespective of GERD position, LES pressure, and AET.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The contributions of swallowing and belching to specific gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) phenotypes are unclear.
METHODS METHODS
This study retrospectively analyzed esophageal pH/impedance studies, comparing reflux events preceded by gastric belching (GB), supragastric belching (SGB), air swallowing, and liquid/solid swallowing based on reflux position, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, and acid exposure time (AET).
KEY RESULTS RESULTS
20 GERD patients and 10 controls were studied. Upright GERD patients and controls had a higher proportion of reflux events with a preceding swallow or belch (0.64, 0.64) than the supine group (0.38, p = 0.043). The upright group and controls trended toward a higher proportion of reflux events preceded by overall swallowing (0.61, 0.50) and air swallowing (0.55, 0.48) than the supine group (0.32, 0.31 p = 0.064, p = 0.11), but the three groups had similar rates of liquid/solid swallowing (0.032, 0.024, 0.017, p = 0.69). LES pressure did not correlate with reflux events preceded by swallowing (R
CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES CONCLUSIONS
Swallowing more than belching is a dominant mechanism for reflux irrespective of GERD position, LES pressure, and AET.
