No results posted yet for this study

Summary

GER and respiratory symptoms are both common phenomenon in children. Both can coexist in the same patient by chance alone. Research reveals increased incidence for both to coexist leading to suspect a temporal association and possible causality. Therefore we conducted an observational study To determine the primary cause (RS or GER)using for the first time both PH-Impedance as measurements of GER and Wheezy monitoring (WEEM) that records simultaneously wheeze and cough noises. Both modalities will be recorded for 12-24 hours. If GER precedes cough/wheeze recordings it points to GER being the possible precipitating factor and vice versa.
