“…Almost all gastroenterologists in this survey encountered patients presented with NCCP in (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) the preceding 6 months. The majority stated that the number of NCCP patients was increasing and the most common cause of NCCP was GERD.…”

“…Less than 10-25% of the patients with NCCP had some type of oesophageal mucosal injury. [14][15][16] Empirical PPI trial has been shown to be a simple, sensitive, non-invasive and cost-effective diagnostic test for GERD-related NCCP. [17][18][19][20] It is also uncertain whether chest X-ray is useful in evaluating the cause of NCCP in the absence of coexisting pulmonary symptoms such as cough, haemoptysis, shortness of breath and other symptoms.…”

“…O pequeno número de pacientes com esofagite erosiva encontrado no presente estudo (5%) está de acordo com o observado na literatura. FROBERT et al (24) , estudando 49 pacientes com DTOI, encontraram esofagite erosiva em apenas 2% dos casos e HSIA et al (30) relataram-na em 24% de 100 pacientes. LEMME et al (40) , estudando 240 pacientes com DTOI, encontraram esofagite erosiva em 4,9% dos casos.…”

“…O teste de perfusão ácida foi positivo em 25% dos casos, sendo descrito na literatura positividade de 6% a 55%, com média de 22% (5,18,27,30,31,34,45,53) . Estes resultados devem ser analisados, levando-se em consideração a grande variabilidade da metodologia empregada.…”

“…In the absence of alarm symptoms, EGD is not a first-line diagnostic test in the evaluation of NCCP because esophagitis is rarely found during examination. 27,28 The effect of proton pump inhibitors, which were introduced in 1990, on how diagnostic tests were ordered during the 1993-2003 follow-up period is unknown. Our results are somewhat similar to the results of a survey of 275 gastroenterologists by Ali and Lacy, 29 which reported that 9.8% of survey responders would order an esophageal pH probe for the initial evaluation of NCCP and that 6.2% would order a manometry study.…”
