Abstract
in English, Chinese

At present, objective methods for diagnosing laryngopharyngeal reflux disease(LPRD) are not minimally invasive, effective, and economical. Diagnostic scales are widely used worldwide due to the advantages of inexpensive, noninvasive, and easy to operate. The reflux symptom index(RSI) and the reflux finding score(RFS) are preferred to use in clinical diagnosis. However, many controversies have appeared in the application of RSI and RFS in recent years, causing many troubles to clinical diagnosis. Therefore, this review briefly discusses the problems of RSI and RFS in clinical applications to provide reference for diagnosing LPRD accurately.

摘要: 目前对于咽喉反流性疾病（LPRD）的诊断缺乏微创、有效且经济的客观检测方法，诊断量表因其廉价、无创、易于操作等优势，在世界范围内得到广泛应用。临床应用最广泛的量表为反流症状指数（RSI）及反流体征评分（RFS）量表。近年来，RSI、RFS量表在应用中尚存在争议，对医务工作者诊断LPRD造成诸多困扰。因此，本文综述了RSI、RFS量表临床应用中的问题，并对其展开讨论，为医务工作者及相关研究人员准确诊断LPRD提供参考。.
