Abstract
Abstract: Diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) requires a clinical history based on clinical symptoms (Reflux Symptom Index - RSI) and laryngeal examination (Reflux Finding Score - RFS) due to its nonspecific symptoms and laryngoscopic signs do not always correlate with the severity of symptoms. This study aimed to obtain the profile of patients with LPR at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using medical records of LPR patients at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital during the period 2020-2022. The results showed that the majority of LPR patients were females (57.6%), aged 41-65 years and occupation as housewife. The most commonly experienced complaints were difficulty in swallowing (36.3%) and feeling of throat tightness (25,0%). The most frequent endoscopic finding was erythema/hyperemia of the arytenoids (36.8%). In conclusion, laryngo-pharyngeal reflux is often experienced by females aged 41-65 years, occupation as housewife. The most common complaints are difficulty in swallowing and feeling of throat tightness. Erythema/hyperemia of the arytenoid has the highest percentage in endoscopic finding.
