Clinical practice guidelines for esophageal ambulatory reflux monitoring in Chinese adults

Yinglian Xiao et al. J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2022 May.

Abstract

Esophageal ambulatory reflux monitoring is the current gold standard for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In order to facilitate standardized procedure and improve diagnostic accuracy, clinical guidelines for ambulatory esophageal reflux monitoring were developed based on thorough literature search and working group conference by experts in gastrointestinal motility. Indications, contraindications, methodology, and reporting of ambulatory esophageal reflux monitoring were discussed in these clinical guidelines.

Keywords: esophageal pH monitoring; gastroenterology; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); guidelines.
