  • (13) Although GORD causes substantial morbidity, the annual mortality rate due to GORD is very low (approximately 1 death per 100,000 patients), and even severe GORD has no apparent effect on longevity, although the quality of life can be significantly impaired.
  • (14) A third of the patients reported such inconclusive symptomatology at history-taking that no preliminary diagnosis about the presence or absence of GORD could be made.
  • (15) The limited information available about salivation in GORD patients suggests that salivary secretion is no different from that of age-matched controls, but that there is an age-dependent loss of the salivary response to oesophageal acidification.
  • (16) The long duration of action and effective inhibition of meal-stimulated acid secretion probably explains the superiority of omeprazole in treating GORD.
  • (17) In the 105 of these patients in whom there was any suspicion of GORD, 24-hour pH monitoring was carried out.
  • (18) When patients were divided according to their symptoms suggestive of GORD, lower VC%, FVC%, and FEV1% were found in patients with than in those without symptoms (87 vs 102, p = 0.0018; 76 vs 91, p = 0.0099; 80 vs 93, p = 0.0026).
  • (19) The signs and symptoms of GORD often wax and wane in intensity, and spontaneous remissions have been reported.
  • (20) Of several symptoms thought to be related to gastrooesophageal reflux disease (GORD), only heartburn (68% vs 48%) and acid regurgitation (60% vs 48%) occurred in more of the patients with GORD (as determined by pH monitoring) than of those with normal pH monitoring.
