Abstract
re likely to be more susceptible to these problems due to possible disturances of both oesophageal function and respiratory regulation at this stage f life. In our cases almost all GER-related apnoeas were linked with noncid GER (63/64). pH-monitoring alone does not recognize these episodes f GER. This highlights the importance of combined pH-MII monitoring o characterize all GER features. Furthermore 20 apnoeas were related to GER that is possible recognize only by a manual analyse of the impedance egistration. Most apnoeas are preceded by reflux (48/64): this finding suports our hypothesis that GER is the causative factor. Seventeen percent of pnoeas was related to swallow events; further studies are necessary in order o clarify the relationship between these two events.
