Abstract

Extra-oesophageal symptoms are thought to be common, atypical symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. To investigate the prevalence of GERD in children with extra-oesophageal symptoms or of extra-oesophageal symptoms in children with GERD, and the effect of GERD therapies on extra-oesophageal symptoms. A systematic review of articles in PubMed and EMBASE. We identified 18 relevant articles. The pooled weighted average prevalence of GERD in asthmatic children was 23%, compared with 4% in healthy controls from the same five studies. The majority of studies evaluating the relationship between apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) and GERD did not suggest a causal relationship. Seven studies reported that respiratory symptoms, sinusitis and dental erosion were significantly more prevalent in children with GERD than in controls. Data from pharmacotherapeutic trials were inconclusive and provided no support for a causal relationship between GERD and extra-oesophageal symptoms. Possible associations exist between GERD and asthma, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, ALTE, laryngotracheitis, sinusitis and dental erosion, but causality or temporal association were not established. Moreover, the paucity of studies, small...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
