摘要
Currently the most widely accepted study for the detection of significant esop hageal reflux disease is the 24-hr pH study. It is a problematic study, however . The data obtained from that study have to be analyzed by comparison to a norma l tested population,revalued through a weighted scale, then judged against recor ded symptoms in order to obtain a valid interpretation. Dynamic position acid re flux testing has recently been described as a better alternative. In this compar ative study between dynamicposition and 24-hr pH testing in 64 patients, the dy namic position study was found to be more definitive, more informative,and more efficient in the detection of significant esophage- al acid reflux disease.
