“…However, the findings also show that most clinicians did not agree that sinusitis is significantly associated with LPR, which is incorrect since the link between sinusitis and LPR is well established [22]. In addition, the largest proportion of respondents (44.95%) thought that infection contributes to LPR pathogenesis.…”

Many physicians confuse laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPR) with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), leading to misdiagnosis of these two diseases. LPR is a common condition among the population, and physicians should be aware of it to save time, effort, resources, and money. The key objective of the study is to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of primary care physicians with respect to LPR and its management and presentation in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A quantitative observational cross-sectional study was conducted at the primary health care centers in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. The sample included willing respondents among the primary health care physicians in these health care centers. Written consent was obtained from each participant before including their data in the study. The data were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The sample consisted of 109 clinicians from different specialties. The average age of the respondents was 44.3 years (standard deviation [SD]: 9.35 years, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 35.7, 52.9) with an average experience of 12.94 years (SD: 8.58 years, 95% CI: 11.3, 14.6). Forty-six percent (46.8%) of the respondents did not agree that there is an association between sinusitis and LPR. About (43.11%) of clinicians said that they always educate patients about LPR, compared to (24.77%) of the clinicians who said that they do not educate patients about LPR. Conclusions: Clinicians in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia have relatively good knowledge, attitudes, and practices with regard to LPR.

“…In addition, the use of beta agonists has become possible. Laryngeal reflux may be induced by reducing the contractile force of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)[ 20 ]. Studies on this have been inconsistent.…”

Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is an inflammatory condition in the laryngopharynx and upper aerodigestive tract mucosa caused by reflux of stomach contents beyond the esophagus. LPRD commonly presents with sym-ptoms such as hoarseness, cough, sore throat, a feeling of throat obstruction, excessive throat mucus. This complex condition is thought to involve both reflux and reflex mechanisms, but a clear understanding of its molecular mechanisms is still lacking. Currently, there is no standardized diagnosis or treatment protocol. Therapeutic strategies for LPRD mainly include lifestyle modifications, proton pump inhibitors and endoscopic surgery. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature regarding the mechanisms, patho-physiology and treatment of LPRD. We also provide an in-depth exploration of the association between LPRD and gastroesophageal reflux disease.

“…54 Other tissues of the UAT can also be affected by gaseous reflux due to the large scope of gas diffusion. 57 In recent clinical research, LPR has been correlated with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME), oral soft tissue disorders, chronic rhinosinusitis, and dacryostenosis, 6,[58][59][60] and patients with these diseases show non-specific laryngopharyngeal symptoms, positive results of MII-pH monitoring, or the detection of reflux agents in the secretions. 6,61,62 Although the control of LPR in some of these diseases was considered beneficial, how LPR is involved in the diseases remains uncertain.…”
