Mashup Score: 0Jejunal Feeding by Gastrojejunal Tube in Pediatric... : Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - 7 month(s) ago
for all children <18 years who underwent GJT placement to treat GERD. We collected data at the first GJT placement, 5 months after last GJT withdrawal, and at the end of the follow-up (June 2021). Results: Among 46 GERD patients with 86 GJT, 32 (69.6%) and 30 (65.2%) avoided antireflux surgery 5 and 28 months, respectively, after the definitive GJT removal. Five months after GJT removal, discharge from hospital, transition to gastric nutrition, GERD complications, and treatment were significantly improved. Median age and weight at the first GJT placement were 7 months and 6.8 kg. Patients had digestive comorbidities or complicated GERD in 69.6% and 76.1% patients, respectively. The median duration of jejunal nutrition using GJT was 64.5 days. GJT had to be removed in 63 (75.9%) cases for technical problems. Conclusions: Jejunal nutrition by GJT could be an alternative to antireflux surgery avoiding sustainably antireflux surgery in most of complicated GERD patients. The high frequency

Mashup Score: 22Updates to the modern diagnosis of GERD: Lyon consensus 2.0 - 8 month(s) ago
The Lyon Consensus provides conclusive criteria for and against the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and adjunctive metrics that consolidate or refute GERD diagnosis when primary criteria are borderline or inconclusive. An international core and working group was assembled to evaluate research since publication of the original Lyon Consensus, and to vote on statements collaboratively developed to update criteria. The Lyon Consensus 2.0 provides a modern definition of actionable GERD, where evidence from oesophageal testing supports revising, escalating or personalising GERD management for the symptomatic patient. Symptoms that have a high versus low likelihood of relationship to reflux episodes are described. Unproven versus proven GERD define diagnostic strategies and testing options. Patients with no prior GERD evidence (unproven GERD) are studied using prolonged wireless pH monitoring or catheter-based pH or pH-monitoring off antisecretory medication, while pat

Mashup Score: 0Home - 8 month(s) ago
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic, highly prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, and one of the most common complaints seen in primary care. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the mainstay of medical treatment of GERD and its more serious form, erosive esophagitis. However, some patients do not have an adequate response to these drugs and symptom recurrence is common. With new acid suppressing therapies on the horizon, physicians may soon have more options for treating GERD. In this live,
