Original Source: The relationship between gastroesophageal reflux and cough in children with chronic unexplained cough using combined impedance-pH-manometry recordings.
INTRODUCTION: Assessment of the reflux-cough association in children is challenging. Esophageal (impedance) pH recording is sensitive to recognize reflux. However, cough recorded by an event marker, possibly lacks accuracy. We aimed to study the exact time relationship between reflux and cough in children with chronic cough. METHODS: Twenty-six children (12 boys; 1-10.5 years) with chronic unexplained cough underwent ambulatory impedance-pH-manometry recordings. Manometry was used for precise cough recognit...
