¸ñÀû: To analyze the incidence of pharyngeal reflux in laryngopharyngeal
reflux (LPR) patients over a 24-hour period and find out the basic
timing of pharyngeal reflux. ¹æ¹ý:This was an observational, retrospective case study. We reviewed
69
patients who visited our clinic with LPR-related symptoms and
were
proven to have pharyngeal reflux via 24-hour hypopharyngeal-
esophageal
multichannel intraluminal impedance pH monitoring. Quantitative
analysis
was conducted for the LPR profiles, such as the acidity of
reflux,
nighttime reflux, and positional reflux. The time series of
pharyngeal
reflux episodes and mealtimes were analyzed over a 24-hour
period. °á°ú:The quantitative analysis revealed that pharyngeal reflux occurred 4.88
¡¾ 4.59 times over 24 hours. Weakly acidic pharyngeal reflux was more
abundant than acidic or weakly alkaline reflux. Pharyngeal reflux
occurred mainly during daytime in the upright position. The time-series
analysis indicated that pharyngeal reflux occurred more frequently in
the post-prandial period than in the pre-prandial period. °á·Ð:The basic timing of pharyngeal reflux in patients with LPR was
post-
prandial and daytime in the upright position. |
