Abstract
About 60% of children with asthma have concomitant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The exact role of GERD in asthma is speculative, but aggressive treatment of GERD results in clinical improvement of asthma without a consistent improvement in pulmonary functions. Evaluation of GERD in children with persistent, difficult-to-treat asthma should be considered, especially in those with no known risk factors for asthma.
