Endoscopic Prediction for Acid Reflux in Patients without Hiatus Hernia.

Conclusions: A loosened GEFV is associated with a risk of PAE in patients with neither reflux esophagitis nor HH, while atrophic gastritis is preventive. On the other hand, the endoscopic predictive model revealed a low sensitivity for detecting PAE. Thus, reflux testing needs to be performed further when gastroesophageal reflux disease is suspected, even without endoscopic evidence. PMID: 32969361 [PubMed - in process]
