Mutual Relations

Background/Aim. Over the last years numerous studies have been performed dealing with mutual relations among gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and numerous diseases of the upper airways. The aim of the present study was to establish possible causal relationship between GERD and posterior laryngitis (PL). Methods. The study included 103 patients with gastrointestinal complaints. Diagnostic procedure included a medical history, gastroscopy and laryngeal directoscopy. The obtained data processed using classic methods of the descriptive statistics, as well as Pearson's chi-square test, Student's t test, rank sum test and Fisher's parametric analysis of variance. Results. Out of the total number of 103 examined patients, 33 (32%) were diagnosed with PL, while GERD was diagnosed in five of the examined patients all belonging to the PL group (15% of the patients with PL). In the remaining patients, PL was caused by other factors. All the patients with GERD had PL and globus sensation while 80% of GERD patients had prominent symptom of pain. Conclusion. The results of the study are indicative of the causal relationship between GERD and PL.

Latar Belakang : Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) merupakan penyakit kronik yang terjadi pada masyarakat dewasa terutama mahasiswa. Faktor yang dapat menyebabkan GERD adalah pola makan termasuk jenis-jenis makanan tertentu yang dikonsumsi, frekuensi makan, dan ketidakteraturan makan. Mahasiswa kedokteran selalu berada di bawah tekanan akademik sehingga muncul ketidaknyamanan pencernaan yang memberi dampak bagi kualitas hidup dan aktivitas sehari-hari. Tujuan : Mengetahui hubungan pola makan dengan terjadinya Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) pada mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah Kuala. Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah stratified random sampling sebanyak 216 subjek yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dari hasil pengisian kuesioner oleh subjek menggunakan kuesioner pola makan yang sudah divalidasi dan dimodifikasi oleh peneliti dan menggunakan Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERDQ) dalam bahasa Indonesia yang telah valid. Kuesioner pola makan dinilai dari segi keteraturan makan, frekuensi makan, jenis-jenis makanan, dan porsi makanan yang dikonsumsi. Hasil : Subjek yang memiliki pola makan buruk dan mengalami GERD sebanyak 34,2% sedangkan subjek yang memiliki pola makan baik dan tidak mengalami GERD sebanyak 86,5%. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji Chi Square. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara pola makan dengan terjadinya Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (p = 0,004).Simpulan : Terdapat hubungan antara pola makan dengan terjadinya Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) pada mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Dokter Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah Kuala.

Summary Magnetic sphincter augmentation using the LINX® device is a minimally invasive surgical option for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. An estimated 30,000 devices have been implanted worldwide. Device removals and erosion are identified risks. The objective of this analysis is to explore the procedure evolution with an emphasis on the removals and associated characteristics that may guide future clinical practice. The Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience and Ethicon’s complaint databases were queried for all surgical device explants since January 2013. Device unit sales were used to determine the rates. The endpoint was based upon the time from implant to explant. Explant and erosion rates were calculated at yearly intervals and the Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to measure the time to explant. Chi-square analyses were used to investigate the risk of explant associated with the size, geography and implant year. Overall, 7-year cumulative risk of removal was 4.81% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) CI: 4.31–5.36%). The likelihood of removal was significantly related to the device size (P < 0.0001), with smaller sizes being more likely to be explanted. The primary reasons for device removal and relative percentages were dysphagia/odynophagia (47.9%), persistent gastroesophageal reflux disease (20.5%) and unknown/other (11.2%). Overall, the 7-year cumulative risk of erosion was 0.28% (95% CI: 0.17–0.46%). The average device size increased from 14.2 beads ± 1.0 in 2013 to 15.3 beads ± 1.2 in 2019 (P < 0.001). Surgical technique and perioperative management play an important role in the outcomes. Clinical practice changes since magnetic sphincter augmentation has been incorporated into clinical use are associated with improved outcomes and should be further characterized. Smaller device size is associated with increased removal and erosion rates.

Atypical Symptoms

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a commonly diagnosed condition often associated with the typical symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation, although it may present with atypical symptoms such as chest pain, hoarseness, chronic cough, and asthma. In most cases, the patient's reduced quality of life drives clinical care and diagnostic testing. Because of its widespread impact on voice and swallowing function as well as its social implications, it is important that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) understand the nature of GERD and its consequences. The purpose of this article is to summarize the nature of GERD and GERD-related complications such as GERD-related peptic stricture, Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma, and laryngeal manifestations of GERD from a gastroenterologist's perspective. It is critical that SLPs who work with a multidisciplinary team understand terminology, diagnostic tools, and treatment to ensure best practice.
