Abstract
A Pilot Study to Show the Association of Intra Abdominal Length of Esophagus with Gastro Esophageal Reflux (GER) in Early Infancy
Highlights
Gastro esophageal Reflux (GER) is backward flow of stomach content in to the esophagus
This pilot study shows that shorter intra abdominal length of esophagus is associated with increased severity of GER
If GER is associated with symptoms of wheezing, apnea and acute life threatening events (ALTE) it is called GERD
Summary
Mean intra abdominal length of esophagus in case cohort was 18.84±3.50 and GER episodes 3.4±2.18 while in control it was 19.6±3.5 and 2±0.67 respectively. Pearson correlation in case cohort showed a strong negative association 0f - 0.56 which meant that as length decreased GER episodes increased while in control cohort it was +0.185 which meant no association
