    • Abstract:
      Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with many chronic diseases among which is laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). To investigate the prevalence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR)-related symptoms in patients with OSA using the Reflux Symptoms Score (RSS) and Reflux Symptom Index (RSI). The medical records and video-recordings of patients with OSA who presented to a tertiary referral center were reviewed. The diagnosis of OSA was made using the STOP-BANG questionnaire and/or polysomnography. The prevalence of LPR-related symptoms was assessed using both the RSS and RSI questionnaires. Thirty-nine patients were included in this study. Twenty-seven patients (69.2%) had a positive RSS in comparison to only 7 (17.9%) using the RSI (p =.052). Subgroup analysis of those who had polysomnography (n = 24) showed that 18 patients (75%) had a positive RSS in comparison to only 5 patients (20.8%) using the RSI. Patients in the high-risk category for OSA were also found to have a higher prevalence of LPR-related symptoms using both the RSS and RSI questionnaires in comparison to those in the lower risk categories. The results of this investigation indicate that the prevalence of LPR-related symptoms is higher using the RSS in comparison to the RSI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

      阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)与许多慢性疾病有关, 喉咽反流病(LPRD)是其中的一种。 使用反流症状评分 (RSS) 和反流症状指数 (RSI) 评, 调查OSA患者的咽喉反流(LPR)相关症状的患病率。 对就诊于三级转诊中心的 OSA 患者的医疗记录和视频记录进行了审查。 通过 STOP-BANG 问卷和/或多导睡眠图来诊断OSA。 使用 RSS 和 RSI问卷调查来评估 LPR 相关症状的患病率。 本研究纳入 39 名患者。 27 名患者 (69.2%) 呈阳性RSS, 使用 RSI 的只有 7 名患者 (17.9%) (p=.052)。 对那些有过多导睡眠图的人(n = 24)进行亚组分析, 显示 18 名患者 (75%) 的 RSS 呈阳性, 而只有 5 名使用 RSI 的患者(20.8%)。 与属于低风险类别的人相比, 通过使用 RSS 和 RSI 问卷, OSA 高风险类别的患者被发现有LPR 相关症状的更高患病率。 本次调查结果表明, 与 RSI 相比, 使用 RSS时 LPR 相关症状的患病率更高。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
