It is the most common gastrointestinal diagnosis recorded during visits to outpatient clinics [7].GERD contributes in excess of 10 billion $ in annual direct health care costs, with the majority of cost directed to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) [8]. Our results showed that the percentage of chronic laryngitis among GERD group was 44%, this result was near to the finding of Maha M et al, 2010 [9] .…”

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease that is often diagnosed based on typical symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. In addition to these more classic manifestations, GERD is increasingly associated with extra-esophageal symptoms, including chronic cough, asthma, laryngitis, and aspiration pneumonia. Management of GERD may help in management of these respiratory diseases. Aim of Study:To study the presence of chest diseases in non-smoker patients complaining of GERD. Subjects and Methods:The study was carried out on 100 patients attended to Al-Hussein and Sayed Galal Al-Azhar University Hospitals in the period from September 2017 to May 2018. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group 1: Included 100 patients complaining of heartburn, epigastric pain and respiratory symptoms confirmed to have GERD by upper GI endoscope. Group 2: Include fifty patients apparently healthy (as regard GERD symptoms) confirmed that they were not have GERD by upper GI endoscope. All patients underwent history taking, examination, routine lab investigations, upper GI endoscopy, chest X-ray and spirometry. C.T. chest was done on need according to symptoms and chest Xray finding.Results: Respiratory disorders occurrence was more in GERD group than in negative group as regard GERD with statistically significant difference between the two groups in chronic laryngitis, bronchial asthma, COPD, and pneumonia, but no significant difference between the two groups wos found as regard ILD. Conclusion:GERD is a considrable risk factor for the development of respiratory disorders. This study proved that pulmonary symptoms was elevated among those with frequent GERD compared to those without GERD.
