A total of 137 gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） patients with severe asthmatic symptoms who responded inadequately to medical treatment for asthma were investigated. The patients were followed up 1 year and 5 years after SRF （n = 82） or LNF （n = 55） treatment. A questionnaire covering 29 related symptoms and medication use was employed. Digestive, respiratory, and ear-nose-throat （ENT） symptom scores significantly decreased after antireflux treatment. Symptom scores respectively changed from 17.2 ± 10.1, 31.9 ± 6.6, and 21.1± 11.8 to 5.0 ±6.2, 11.5 ±10.2, and 6.3± 6.8 at 1 year and to 5.6 ± 6.5, 13.1± 10.1, and 7.8 ± 7.2 at 5 years （P 〈 0.001）. The outcome of LNF was significantly better than that of SRF in terms of digestive （P 〈 0.001, P = 0.001）, respiratory （P = 0.006, P = 0.001）, and ENT symptoms （P = 0.006, P = 0.003） at both 1 year and 5 years. SRF and LNF were both effective against the digestive symptoms of GERD as well as GERD-related severe asthmatic and ENT symptoms, with better outcomes exhibited by the LNF group. Severe asthmatic symptoms and GERD were closely associated, and this finding warrants further study.展开更多

Yet few topics in medicine are as controversial as the causal relationship between GERD and asthma： some argue that GERD causes asthma, while others think the other way around is true, still quite a few believe that bronchodilator medications are to blame. This controversy continues to be a conundrum or more piece of the puzzle.1 We would like to share two thoughts which might be a belated revelation with scholars and experts and invite them for further cooperative studies： the GERD-derived respiratory distress is not asthma, but GERD pure and simple; and the pathogenesis of respiratory distress is not asthma, but laryngotracheal irritation/spasm/suffocation.展开更多
