The Prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Institutionalized Intellectually Disabled Individuals

Abstract: An abnormal 24-h pH-metry and symptoms suggestive for GERD were documented frequently in a large cohort of institutionalized intellectually disabled individuals. Further endoscopical evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of reflux esophagitis in the majority of these individuals.

“…Research seems to suggest that the serological pitfalls in the general population are the same for the population with DS (Kotze et al, 2001). Inflammatory bowel disease (Baccichetti, Lenzini, & Pegoraro, 1990;Persic, Dessardo, Subat Dezulovic, Ahel, & Rozmanic, 2001), cholelithiasis (Aughton, Gibson, & Cacciarelli, 1992), achalasia (Preiksaitis, Miller, Pearson, & Diamant, 1994;Zarate, Mearin, Hidalgo, & Malagelada, 2001), and reflux (Bohmer et al, 1999) have all been reported in adults with DS, although there have 48 R. A. Wallace been no recommendations for screening for these conditions. The prevalence of H. pylori was higher than expected (67%).…”

“…A especificidade de vômitos/regurgitação é muito pequena, por sua alta freqüência em lactentes normais: 23% das crianças aos cinco meses de idade apresentam mais de três episódios de regurgitação alimentar por dia 9 . Tais manifestações são ainda mais freqüentes em EP e raramente valorizadas, embora vários autores sublinhem a alta incidência de DRGE nestes casos: 68% a 83% dos EP com vômitos recorrentes têm DRGE [10][11][12] . Os demais sintomas digestivos de DRGE expressam complicações (hemorragia digestiva e disfagia) e são tardios.…”

“…A DRGE pode também estar relacionada à hipertonia ou síndromes convulsionais e alterações anatômicas do hiato em decorrência de escolioses e vícios posturais [10][11][12] . Lohmer 12 , em estudo sistemático de pHmetria em EP institucionalizados com QI<50 em várias faixas etárias detectou 52% de DRGE, com 11% de exames inconclusivos, independente da idade ou postura do paciente, sugerindo a independência ou ineficácia de mecanismos de maturação. DRGE foi mais freqüente em presença de escoliose (OR 2,6), encefalopatia hipóxico-isquêmica (OR 2,6), crise convulsivas recorrentes (OR 2,8) e QI < 35 (OR 4,3) 12 .…”
