pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

Cohen Sabban J Fernandez Cuevas V Orsi M Donato G Busoni V DacuteAgostino DPediatric Gastroenterology Unit Hospital Italiano-Buenos Aires-ArgentinaThe etiology of apparent life threatening events (ALTE) continues to be controversial Whether gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is cause consequence or just concurrent is still undetermined The 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal ImpedancendashpH monitoring (MII-pH) enables the study of the quality acid or non acid and symptom correlation The analysis of the temporal sequence when this association occurs may be helpful in elucidating this issueAim To determine the temporal relation between GER episodes and ALTE in a three minute interval during a 24 hr recordingMaterials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before during or after the episode of GERResults Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one Conclusions In infants in whom a temporal association ( ALTE GER ) was observed there was no unique pattern in the symptom sequence and in the same patient a different sequence of events could be detectedThis heterogenous behavior may reinforce the theory that GER and ALTE are just concurrent events

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines ESPGHAN-NASPGHAN 2009 )
This test is a valid quantitative measure of esophageal acid exposure with established normal ranges
In pH studies performed with antimony electrodes an RI gt 7 is considered abnormal an RI lt 3 is considered normal and anRI between 3 and 7 is indeterminate
However the severity of pathologic acid reflux does not correlate consistently with symptom severity or demonstrable complications
In children with documented esophagitis normal esophageal pH monitoring suggests a diagnosis other than GERD
pHmetriacutea de 24 horas ( Guidelines 2009 )
bull Esophageal pH monitoring is useful for evaluating the efficacy of antisecretory therapy
bull It may be useful to correlate symptoms (eg cough chest pain) with acid reflux episodes and to select those infants and children with wheezing or respiratory symptoms in whom GER is an aggravating factor
bull The sensitivity specificity and clinical utility of pH monitoring for diagnosis and management of possible extraesophageal complications of GER are not well established

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The Importance of Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance in the Evaluation of Children with Persistent RespiratorySymptoms
Rachel Rosen MD MPH and Samuel Nurko MD MPHMotility Unit Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Childrenrsquos Hospital Boston Harvard MedicalSchool Boston Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES Previous evidence suggests an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronicrespiratory disease in children Despite antisecretory antacid therapy respiratory symptoms often persist supporting a role for nonacid reflux
The aim of this study was To determine whether nonacid reflux occurs in children with chronic respiratory disease
METHODS Twenty-eight children (mean age 65 plusmn 56 yr) with persistent respiratory symptoms on antacid medications underwent 24 h pHmultichannel intraluminal impedance (pHMII) recordingThe symptom index (SI) and the symptom sensitivity index (SSI) were calculated for each patientLogistic regression was performed to determine which reflux characteristics were associated with a high degree of symptom correlation present during the occurrence of symptoms
(Am J Gastroenterol 2004992452ndash2458)
RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

RESULTS A total of 1822 reflux episodes were detected by pHMII 45 of which were nonacidic The mean SI increased using pHMII (357 plusmn 285) compared to pH probe alone (146 plusmn 189 p = 0002) no differences in the mean SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe alone were identified Significantly more patients had a positive SI using pHMII than pH probe alone (p = 0035) there was no difference in the number of patients with a positive SSI using pHMII compared to pH probe aloneMultivariate analysis revealed that symptoms occurred more frequently when the reflux was nonacidic mixed and full column Also younger children were more likely to have the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms and reflux
CONCLUSIONS Nonacid reflux may be an important predictor of respiratory symptoms pHMII provided important nformation in the evaluation of children with intractable respiratory symptoms

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

Investigations and technical advances have enhanced our understanding and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease The recognition of the prevalence and importance of patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease as well as those refractory to proton pump inhibitor therapy have led to an increasing need for objective tests of esophageal reflux Guidelines for esophageal reflux testing are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees Issues regarding the utilization of conventional catheter-based pH monitoring are discussed Improvements in the interpretation of esophageal pH recordings through the use of symptom-reflux association analyses as well as limitations gleaned from recent studies are reviewed The clinical utility of pH recordings in the proximal esophagus and stomach is examined
Newly introduced techniques of duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux wireless pH capsule monitoring and esophageal impedance testing are assessed and put into the context of traditional methodology Finally recommendations on the clinical applications of esophageal reflux testing are presented

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

ABSTRACTBackgroundCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events It can be used in patients with persistent symptoms on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy
The aim of this study was to assess laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication as a treatment for patients with persistent symptoms associated with reflux despite acid suppression documented by MII-pH monitoring
MethodA prospectively maintained database identified patients with persistent symptoms of gastro-oesophageal refluxdisease despite PPI therapy who had undergone MII-pH monitoring and this was cross-referenced with patients whohad undergone fundoplication at this institution Follow-up after fundoplication was by periodic telephone interviewand review of clinical records

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Resultsbull Of 200 evaluated patients 19 (14 female mean age 40 (range 07-78) years)
underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Before surgery 18 of 19 patients had a positive symptom index (at least half of symptoms associated with reflux) and one a negative symptom index After a mean follow-up of 14 (range 7-25) months 16 of 17 (94 percent) patients with a positive symptom index were asymptomatic or markedly improved (one patient was lost tofollow-up) Persistent symptoms occurred in the patient with a negative symptom index and one patient had recurrent symptoms after 9 months
bull Conclusionbull Patients with a positive symptom index resistant to PPIs with non-acid or acid
reflux demonstrated by MII-pHmonitoring can be treated successfully by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

Combined MultiChannel Intraluminal Impedance and pH Esophageal Testing Compared to pH Alone for Diagnosing Both Acid and Weakly Acidic
Gastroesophageal RefluxHila A Agrawal A Castell DO
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2007 5 172-77
bull The most common reason pH only overstated acid reflux was pH drops associated with swallows (81 of patients had acid swallows despite being instructed to not ingest acidic beverages outside of meal periods)
bull Acid pH monitoring specificity for acid symptom index calculation was 67 as compared to MII-pH
bull This is to state a significant trait for acid pH monitoring to overstate acid reflux resulting in overstating the temporal association of acid reflux to symptoms This is critical in that Symptom Index (SI) is frequently the primary basis of study interpretation
bull The study concludes ldquoThe use of pH alone for the detection of acid reflux is very sensitive but lacks specificity compared with MII-pH pH alone may over-diagnose abnormal acid reflux in up to 22 of tested patients
bull Also the use of pH for the detection of weakly acid reflux has poor sensitivityrdquo

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

bull Dual pH-multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII) is a sensitive tool for evaluating overall gastroesophageal reflux disease and particularly for permitting detection of nonacid reflux events pH-MII technology is especially useful in the postprandial period or at other times when gastric contents are nonacidic pH-MII was recently recognized by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition and theEuropean Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition as being superior to pH monitoring alone for evaluation of the temporal relation between symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux
bull In children Ph-MII is useful to correlate symptoms with reflux (particularly nonacid reflux)to quantify reflux during tube feedings and the postprandial period and to assess efficacy of antireflux therapy
bull This clinical review is simply an evidence-based overview addressing the indications limitations and recommended protocol for the clinical use of pH-MII in children JPGN Volume 52 Number 2 February 2011

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

The etiology of apparent life threatening events (ALTE) continues to be controversial Whether gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is cause consequence or just concurrent is still undetermined The 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal ImpedancendashpH monitoring (MII-pH) enables the study of the quality acid or non acid and symptom correlation The analysis of the temporal sequence when this association occurs may be helpful in elucidating this issueAim To determine the temporal relation between GER episodes and ALTE in a three minute interval during a 24 hr recording

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Materials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before duringor after the episode of GER
Results Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected
The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

Cohen Sabban J Fernandez Cuevas V Orsi M Donato G Busoni V DacuteAgostino DPediatric Gastroenterology Unit Hospital Italiano-Buenos Aires-ArgentinaThe etiology of apparent life threatening events (ALTE) continues to be controversial Whether gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is cause consequence or just concurrent is still undetermined The 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal ImpedancendashpH monitoring (MII-pH) enables the study of the quality acid or non acid and symptom correlation The analysis of the temporal sequence when this association occurs may be helpful in elucidating this issueAim To determine the temporal relation between GER episodes and ALTE in a three minute interval during a 24 hr recordingMaterials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before during or after the episode of GERResults Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one Conclusions In infants in whom a temporal association ( ALTE GER ) was observed there was no unique pattern in the symptom sequence and in the same patient a different sequence of events could be detectedThis heterogenous behavior may reinforce the theory that GER and ALTE are just concurrent events

No particular sequence of events is observed in infants with ALTE and Gastroesophageal Reflux as measured by Impedance
Cohen Sabban J Fernandez Cuevas V Orsi M Donato G Busoni V DacuteAgostino DPediatric Gastroenterology Unit Hospital Italiano-Buenos Aires-ArgentinaThe etiology of apparent life threatening events (ALTE) continues to be controversial Whether gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is cause consequence or just concurrent is still undetermined The 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal ImpedancendashpH monitoring (MII-pH) enables the study of the quality acid or non acid and symptom correlation The analysis of the temporal sequence when this association occurs may be helpful in elucidating this issueAim To determine the temporal relation between GER episodes and ALTE in a three minute interval during a 24 hr recordingMaterials and Methods Between March 2005 and May 2009 all former full term infants who presented with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) on whom we were consulted underwent a 24 hr Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance- pH study (MII-pH) using a Sandhill Monitoring Recorder Exclusion criteria were congenital anomalies ventilatory support treatment with caffeine andor need for a nasogastric tube In those in whom an episode of GER occurred within 3 min of one of apnea the temporal relationship between them was performed to determine if apneas occurred before during or after the episode of GERResults Fifty eight infants were evaluated (32 girls) with a median age of 2 months (r1-6 months) A total of 3011 (X 483 r 13-107) reflux events were observed 1807 (60) nonacid (X 295 r 5-105) and 1204 acid reflux (X 194 r 5-43) According to the symptom index (SI) 31 patients were positive with 70 apneas GER events detected The percentage of apneas seen before a reflux episode was 342 (708 nonacid) during GER 328 (652 nonacid) and after GER 328 (434 nonacid) In 18 patients who experienced more than one episode of apnea during the recording a different temporal relationship with GER was observed at each one Conclusions In infants in whom a temporal association ( ALTE GER ) was observed there was no unique pattern in the symptom sequence and in the same patient a different sequence of events could be detectedThis heterogenous behavior may reinforce the theory that GER and ALTE are just concurrent events

Resultados El porcentaje de apneas observadas antes de un episodio de reflujo fue del 342 (el 708 no aacutecido) durante GER 328 (el 652 no aacutecido) y despueacutes de GER 328(el 434 no aacutecido) Conclusiones En los recieacuten nacidos en los que se observoacute una asociacioacuten temporal (ALTE GER) no hubo un patroacuten uacutenico en la secuencia de los siacutentomas y en el mismo paciente una secuencia diferente de los hechos podriacutea ser detectado Este comportamiento heterogeacuteneo puede reforzar la teoriacutea de que GER y ALTE son soacutelo eventos simultaacuteneos

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

bull Abstract bull Although combined multichannel intraluminal
impedanceesophageal pH monitoring (MII-pH) has replaced prolonged pH monitoring alone for assessing gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in the pediatric population it does so in the absence of reference values for non-acid GER (NAGER)
bull The purpose of this study was to identify a normal range of NAGER impedance values for infants and children
bull We evaluated EPMMII tracings for patients referred for GER assessment to Nationwide Childrenrsquos Hospital (Columbus OH) Inova Childrenrsquos Hospital and Hospital Italiano (Buenos Aires Argentina)
bull We excluded tracings from patients who had AGER indices greater than 50 of the upper end of normal (ie gt3 for children gt12 months and gt6 for infants le12 months) had a positive temporal association of GER with symptoms were on anti-reflux medications at the time of the study andor had a fundoplication prior to the study We also excluded studies with durations shorter than 20 h

bull Values for NAGER percent time NAGER episode frequency frequency of proximal NAGER and mean NAGER duration were calculated for upright position recumbent and total
bull Study population consisted of 46 infants (20 female [F]26 male [M] median age 48 months [range 3 weeksndash119 months]) with a median AGER index of 22 (range 00ndash59 ) and 71 children (22 F49 M median age 72 years [range 13ndash17 years]) with a median AGER index of 11(range 0ndash30 ) Data are presented in tables in the text
bull Curr Gastroenterol Rep (2014) 16400
bull The results of this study provide a range of values characteristic of infants and children with normal AGER indices and no positive temporal associations of GER with symptoms
bull These values may be used as references for comparison to identify infants andor children who may be at risk of developing serious clinical manifestations due to abnormal patterns of GER
