Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between esophageal motility abnormalities and the characteristics of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with different subtypes of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (rGERD).Methods From September 2015 to May 2016,a total of 100 rGERD patients were collected,all of whom received gastroendoscopy examination,high resolution manometry (HRM) and 24 h impedance-pH monitoring.According to the results of gastroendoscopy examination,the patients were divided into refractory non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) group and refractory reflux esophagitis (RE) group.Abnormal esophageal motility and pathological gastroesophageal reflux of each group were analyzed.Chi-square test,t test and sum-rank test were performed for comparison,the correlation factors were analyzed by multivariate unconditional Logistic regression.Results Among the 100 patients with rGERD,there were 83 cases in refractory NERD group and 17 in refractory RE group.The episodes of weak acid and gas-liquid mixed reflux of refractory NERD group were both significantly higher than those of refractory RE group (80.2±56.9 vs 44.8± 13.7,56.0± 25.6 vs 25.2±16.1);and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.202 and 2.229,both P＜ 0.05).The DeMeester score,acid reflux episodes and the percentage of reflux time of refractory NERD group were all significantly lower than those of refractory RE group (24.2±8.5 vs 56.8±3.0,21.4± 11.8 vs 35.9 ± 32.6,(7.1 ± 1.6) ％ vs (16.2 ± 8.8) ％),and the differences were statistically significant (t=-2.820,-2.230 and-2.604;all P＜0.05).However,the average resting pressure of lower esophageal sphincter was higher than that of refractory RE group ((7.9±5.6) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs (4.5±2.2) mmHg),and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.443,P＜0.05).Patients with esophageal motility disorders of refractory NERD group and refractory RE group were 58 cases (69.9 ％) and 12 cases (12/17),respectively,and the difference was not significant (P＞0.05).Compared with refractory RE group,the ratio of intermittent contraction was higher (1/17 vs 26.5％,22/83) and the peristaltic contraction disorder was lower in refractory NERD group (11/17 vs 43.4％,36/83);and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =3.389 and 2.587,both P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that intermittent contraction and gas reflux were risk factors of the incidence of pathological weak acid reflux (odd ratio (OR) =3.139 and 1.254,both P＜0.05),while body mass index and gas-liquid mixed reflux were the risk factors of the occurrence of pathological acid reflux (OR =1.302 and 1.026,both P＜ 0.05),whereas the distal contractile integral was a protective factor (OR=0.998,P＜0.05).Conclusion Esophageal dysmotility is common in patients with rGERD,and the dysmotility disorders are different in patients with different subtypes,which may be related to the different reflux characteristics.
