Summary/Key points
-The clinical profile of LPR patients may vary regarding the occurrence of OSAS. The presence of OSAS in LPR patients may result with fewer LPR-related symptoms, while LPR patients without OSAS had a higher number of HREs than patients with LPR and OSAS. Moreover, OSAS patients has a lower proportion of hiatal hernia and esophagitis than classical LPR patients.
-The occurrence of HREs in the evening was associated with a more severe ESS; the severity of subjective OSAS symptoms being associated with the severity of LPR according to RSS quality of life score.
-Patients with OSAS, LPR and GERD had higher number of nocturnal HREs compared with those without GERD but there was no temporal relationship between nocturnal HRE and the occurrence of awakenings/arousals.
