“…It is one of the functional gastrointestinal disorders that implies the chronicity and recurrence of the clinical picture [1]. If left untreated, GERD may lead to a severe prognosis with serious morbidities, complications, and economic burdens that requires lifestyle modifications, surgical intervention, and long-term management regimens [2]. Asymptomatic gastric refluxes is usual in normal population, however, frequent occurrence of this phenomenon associated with specific symptomatology causes the disorder [3].…”

Globally, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has a potentially high prevalence, with a wide rate of variability across different populations due to inconsistency in the risk factors. Hence, a cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered, structured questionnaire at Al-Iskan Primary Health Care (PHC) Center to investigate the prevalence rate and associated factors in Makkah Almukarramah, the west of Saudi Arabia. The study included 339 participants. The mean age for participants was 39.5 ± 15.5 years, and the range was from 18 to 84 years. Male participants were 247 (72.9%) and females were 92 (27.1%). Participants were diagnosed with GERD on achieving a GERD questionnaire score of ≥8. In our sample, 59 (17.4%) were diagnosed with asymptomatic GERD. The represented logistic regression shows that family history of GERD, marital status (divorce), smoking, physical activity frequency, tomatoes/tomato-based foods, salty foods, acidic drinks, frequent use of analgesics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) consumption shows statistical significance and association (P < 0.05) with increased risk of symptomatic GERD. Conclusively, the results show that GERD is prevalent in Makkah with the presence of modifiable risk factors which can significantly affect the ascendency of the disease.

“…LPR patients must also take medication continuously for long periods and drug effects were slow in providing symptomatic improvement. 11,18 This condition will affect the quality of life. The results of this study found that gender was associated with quality of life (p=0.032, while age (p=0.625), duration of symptoms (p=0.684), BMI (p=0.486), smoking (p=0.238) and diet habits (p=0.153) have no effect on quality of life.…”

“…This impact can cause problems for LPR sufferers and health service coverage problems. [9][10][11] LPR is a chronic disease with complex symptoms, the length of treatment and the symptoms that do not improve can cause psychiatric problems for people with LPR. Anxiety, depression and stress can affect the quality of life for individuals with LPR.…”

Background: Risk factors for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), such as age, gender, BMI, smoking history and dietary habit affect the severity of LPR. These risk factors have a clinical impact on both social and emotional aspects, which can reduce the quality of life. Thus led the researchers to analyse association between these risk factors with psychiatric symptoms and quality of life for LPR sufferers.Methods: Analytical descriptive research with cross-sectional approach to LPR patients in ENT clinic RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang. Sixty six samples aged 18-60 years and met the criteria of the researcher were measured using the DASS 21 questionnaire and the RQS questionnaire. Statistical analysis used the chi-square test.Results: Obtained 66 subjects with a mean age of 45.1 years, there were more women than men (75.8%). Analysis of risk factors associated with depression found gender (p=1.000), age (p=1.000), duration of symptoms (p=1.000), BMI (p=0.132), smoking (p=0.452), and diet (p=1.000). Analysis of risk factors with anxiety obtained gender (p=0.340), age (p=0.743), duration of symptoms (p=0.085), BMI (p=0.322), smoking history (p=1.000), and diet (p=1.000). Analysis of risk factors with stress obtained gender (p=0.798), age (p=0.088), duration of symptoms (p=0.324), BMI (p=0.276), smoking history (p=0.606) and diet (p=0.538). Analysis of the gender association related to the quality of life LPR patients (p=0.032).Conclusions: Duration of symptoms, age, BMI, smoking history and diet were not associated with psychiatric symptoms and quality of life in LPR sufferers. Gender is not associated with psychiatric symptoms but is related to quality of life.

“…However, a recent large crossover study showed that a high somatization level according to SSC (somatization scale) is also a common risk factor [4]. Typical symptoms of GERD can affect performance, sleep, nature of nutrition, daily activity, which significantly reduces the patient's life quality [5]. Moreover, sleep disturbance with GERD occurs from 26 to 60% and has a proven, bi-directional communication [6].…”

The aim: The work is aimed to study the formation mechanisms of sleep disturbances with GERD based on the determination of melatonin and serotonin indicators in the blood, psychosomatic status and quality of sleep, motor-secretory function of the esophagus and stomach in young people. Materials and methods: All 63 patients were with non-erosive GERD and insomnia. Among them, 32 with inhibitory personality type and 31 with excitable personality type. The control group is 25 people. Questionnaires were used to determine the quality of sleep, quality of life, state of the nervous system, ultrasound, stomach acidity, level of melatonin and serotonin. Results: In patients with inhibitory personality type, depressive disorders, lower sleep quality and quality of life were more pronounced, and in patients with excitable type, increased levels of reactive and personal anxiety and pronounced motor-secretory disorders. Conclusions: Psychosomatic disorders in GERD have a significant impact not only on the quality of sleep, quality of life, the level of melatonin and serotonin, the regulation of the secretory and motor functions of the stomach, but they are one of the links in the pathogenetic mechanism of the formation of both GERD and insomnia with it.
