老年咽喉反流的研究进展

Advances in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux in Older People

咽喉反流(LPR)疾病是耳鼻喉科常见的一种疾病,其临床表现主要包括声音嘶哑、慢性咳嗽、清嗓子、鼻后滴液、喉咙痛和球感。由于老年患者体质的特殊性,导致该病多发生在老年患者,而且随着人口老龄化的加快,老年LPR疾病的发病率逐年增高,且对老年患者生活质量造成严重影响。因此,进一步明确老年LPR疾病的发病机制、诊断及治疗至关重要。本文针对老年LPR疾病的研究进展进行综述。

Laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR)is a common disease in otolaryngology.The main clinical manifestations include hoarseness,chronic cough,throat clearing,postnasal drip,sore throat and ball sensation.Because of the special physical characteristics,the disease often involves older people.With the accelerated aging of the population,the incidence of LPR disease in older people is increasing year by year,and seriously affects the quality of life of older people.Therefore,it is very important to further clarify the pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of LPR in older people.This paper reviews the research progress of LPR in older patients.
