Conclusion
The clinical profile of LPR patients may vary regarding the occurrence of OSAS but the relationship between OSAS and LPR is still unclear. The findings of the present study support a potential relationship between some subjective evaluations of both conditions without identifying objective links. Patients with LPR and OSAS could have less HREs compared with those with LPR only, which may be clinically observed by less otolaryngological symptoms. However, there may have different profiles of OSAS patient according to the occurrence of GERD.
