The Relation Between Endoscopic and Subjective Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Signs, Vocal Tract Discomfort, Voice Handicap, and Voice Disorder Type: Same Yet Different? J Voice 2024:S0892-1997(23)00381-8. [PMID: 38182496 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvoice.2023.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the relation between subjective voice-related symptoms and endoscopic findings in patients with different etiology of voice disorder and vocally healthy subjects with and without laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. METHODS The study involved 149 participants (106 female, 43 male) including 125 with various voice disorders (functional, structural, and neurogenic) and 24 vocally healthy individuals. For self-rating the German versions of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), Vocal Tract Discomfort (VTD) Scale, and Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) were applied, while endoscopic evaluations utilized the Reflux Finding Score (RFS) and Reflux Sign Assessment (RSA). Statistical analyses incorporated ANOVA with Bonferroni posthoc tests to identify group variations. Correlations between VTD Scale, VHI, RSI, RFS, and RSA were evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. To examine test sensitivity and specificity for the VTD Scale and RSA, we performed a receiver operating characteristics analysis. Youden's-Index was applied to determine the cut-off-value with best discriminatory abilities. The diagnosis of LPR was assumed when the criteria of RFS > 7 AND RSI > 13 was met. RESULTS Significant differences for all voice diagnosis groups and vocally healthy individuals for RFS and all three self-rating questionnaires were found. Moreover, there was significant correlation between VTD Scale and VHI and RSI as well as RSI and RFS, which was moderate, negative in the group of persons with LPR. However, there was no significant difference for RSA results between the vocally healthy or any diagnosis group. CONCLUSION Thus, the RFS may be more suitable to predict reflux and voice-related symptoms. The VTD Scale is a useful instrument in screening voice disorders but also LPR and can therefore be used as a tool for decision-making when transferring to a specialist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with many chronic diseases among which is laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). OBJECTIVE 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). METHODS 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. RESULTS 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. CONCLUSION The results of this investigation indicate that the prevalence of LPR-related symptoms is higher using the RSS in comparison to the RSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our study aims to evaluate the distribution of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) via the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and to describe the sleep architecture in SDB patients with and without LPR. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted. Patients with SDB were identified via the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and STOP-BANG questionnaire; they were then screened with the RSI and physical examination for LPR. PSG was performed to evaluate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). RESULTS Of 45 patients, 15 were scored as having LPR via the RSI. Utilizing the Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI), patients were further classified into four groups: 9 non-LPR with non-OSA SDB, 21 non-LPR with OSA, 4 LPR with non-OSA SDB, and 11 LPR with OSA. The prevalence of LPR was 30.8% in the non-OSA SDB group and 34.4% in the OSA group. All SDB parameters in both groups were similar. SDB patients with high body mass index tended to have LPR and/or OSA. Average ESS scores in the four groups suggested excessive daytime sleepiness, and patients with LPR had higher ESS scores. Regardless of LPR status, SDB patients had a lower percentage of REM sleep and a higher percentage of light sleep. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of LPR in OSA patients was similar in non-OSA SDB patients. REM sleep percentage decreased in the four groups, with the non-OSA SDB group having the lowest percentage of REM sleep; light sleep percentage increased in the four groups, with the OSA group having the highest percentage of light sleep.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the presence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and the potential association between presence of LPR symptoms and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a representative sample from a population-based study. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Participants of the follow-up of the Epidemiological Sleep Study were evaluated. Sleep was assessed through questionnaires and polysomnography. The presence of LPR was based on the questionnaire Reflux Score Index (RSI), and scores higher than 13 were suggestive of LPR. A general linear model test was used for comparison of continuous data and Pearson's chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. Predictors of LPR were obtained by regression analysis. RESULTS 701 were enrolled (54.8% female, 45.2% male; mean age, 50.2 ± 13.3 years). The mean apnea-hypopnea index score was 17 ± 18.3 events/hr, and the mean RSI score was 7.0 ± 8.1. LPR was found in 17% of the volunteers, whereas OSA was present in 38.5% of the sample. Specifically, in those patients with OSA, the prevalence of LPR was 45.4%; however, there was no statistically significant association between LPR and the presence of OSA. The severity of OSA was not associated with RSI score. The presence of LPR was associated with older age, smoking, excessive daytime sleepiness and worse quality of life and sleep scores questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS Age, smoking, but not body mass index, were associated with LPR. There was not statistically significant association of LPR with OSA. Individuals with symptoms of LPR had greater drowsiness and worse quality of life and sleep. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 132:1877-1882, 2022.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) have been found to coexist in the population. OSAS and LPR also share obesity as an important risk factor. However, the relationship between LPR and OSAS remains unclear. This study aimed to correlate LPR as measured by the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and the Reflux Finding Score (RFS) with OSAS. Methods This cross-sectional study included sixty-four subjects who underwent anamnesis to complete the RSI and the Epworth Sleeping Scale (ESS). The subjects were then divided into the OSAS and non-OSAS groups based on the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) obtained through a polysomnography examination. Both groups underwent a flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy examination to determine the RFS. LPR was identified based on the RSI and RFS. Results The mean BMI of the OSAS group significantly was higher than the non-OSAS group (p < 0.05). Most of the subjects in the OSAS group exhibited mild-moderate OSAS (AHI 10-29), and severe OSAS occurred in only seven subjects. The mean RSI and RFS values in the OSAS group did not differ significantly from the non-OSAS group (p = 0.34 and p = 0.36, respectively). The proportion of LPR between the mild-moderate OSAS group, the severe OSAS group, and the non-OSAS group did not differ significantly (p = 1.00). RSI and RFS did not significantly correlate with AHI. Based on RSI, the proportion of LPR between the ESS (+) and ESS (-) groups did not significantly differ (adjusted p = 0.062). The proportion of LPR based on RFS was almost equal between the ESS (+) and ESS (-) groups (p = 0.817). Conclusions The BMI of the OSAS group was significantly higher than the non-OSAS group. There was no significant difference in RSI and RFS between the OSAS and non-OSAS groups. There was no significant correlation between RSI and AHI, or between RFS and AHI. There was no significant difference in the proportion of RSI between the ESS (+) and the ESS (-) groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or gastroesophageal reflux (GER) may be the contributors to chronic cough in patients with OSA and concomitant GER. This study aimed to explore whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), antireflux treatment and lifestyle modifications improve chronic cough in patients with OSA and concomitant GER. METHODS Patients with OSA and concomitant GER who also experienced chronic cough were enrolled, and were divided into two groups. Patients who were treated with general treatment (antireflux treatment and lifestyle modifications) as the control group, and patients who were treated with CPAP and general treatment as the treatment group. Effects of different treatments on chronic cough were assessed, and the association among chronic cough, GER and OSA was evaluated by Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Epworth Sleepiness Scale were better in the treatment group after 1 week of treatment; further, the improvement became stronger with the duration of therapy. The gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire, visual analog scale (VAS) for cough, and daytime and nighttime cough symptom scores significantly improved in both groups after treatment, whereas this improvement was more significant in the treatment group. Significant associations between the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and VAS, weak acid reflux and VAS, and weak acid reflux and AHI were observed. CONCLUSION CPAP improved the symptoms of chronic cough and GER in patients with OSA and concomitant GER. AHI and weak acid reflux may be important factors affecting the therapeutic effect of chronic cough in patients with OSA and concomitant GER.

Abstract
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a common disorder in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the LPR prevalence in individuals with OSAHS and to analyze the correlation of LPR positivity with the clinical features of patients with OSAHS. A detailed review of the English and Chinese literature on the occurrence of LPR in patients with OSAHS was performed by employing online search tools such as PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, VIP, CNKI, WanFang, etc. Two researchers analyzed the studies for quality according to the STROBE standard checklist. The acquired data were analyzed using Stata 11.0 and R 3.6.1 software. The effect size was estimated and calculated using weighted mean difference (WMD) and correlation coefficients. Moreover, a combined analysis was performed by employing either a random- or fixed-effects model. Ultimately, 27 studies met our inclusion criteria. Our study revealed that the LPR prevalence in OSAHS patients was 49%. We carried out subgroup analyses as per OSAHS severity, ethnicity, and body mass index (BMI). The results suggested that the probability of LPR in European and American patients with OSAHS was higher, and the prevalence of LPR was higher in obese individuals and patients with severe OSAHS. Moreover, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and BMI were higher in LPR-positive OSAHS patients than in LPR-negative OSAHS patients, but no significant variation in age was observed in the two groups. Moreover, the reflux symptom index (RSI) scores and the reflux finding score (RFS) exhibited a positive correlation with AHI. The current literature shows a higher incidence of LPR in individuals with OSAHS (49%). The severity of AHI in individuals with OSAHS is associated with the presence of LPR. Patients with OSAHS accompanied by LPR showed higher BMI and AHI as compared to those patients with LPR-negative OSAHS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Gastro-esophageal reflux is a possible cause of uncontrolled symptoms of asthma and should be actively investigated and treated before severe asthma is diagnosed and biological therapy started. RECENT FINDINGS Recent investigations on esophageal function and tissue biomarkers in patients with asthma and associated GERD have established a relevant role for esophageal motility and neuronal sensory abnormalities in linking the two diseases. Characterization of the underpinning inflammatory substrate has showed mixed results as both neutrophilic and eosinophilic type 2 inflammatory changes have been described. SUMMARY New findings regarding inflammatory mechanisms in GERD-associated asthma as well as new diagnostic tools to investigate functional esophageal abnormalities and characterize asthma endotype have identified potential treatable traits that may improve the clinical management and outcome of asthmatic patients with GERD.

Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may play a role in the occurrence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). OSA surgery also may have a significant curative effect on LPR with OSA.Objectives: To analyze the role of OSA in LPR and the effect of OSA surgery on LPR with OSA.Methods: Forty-five OSA patients with LPR symptoms were enrolled and were divided into the LPR positive group (RSI > 13) and the LPR suspicious group (1 ≤ RSI ≤ 13) based on reflux symptom index (RSI). All the patients underwent OSA surgery. The RSI scores at three different time points postoperatively were compared with that preoperatively.Results: In the LPR positive and LPR suspicious group, the result revealed that there were significant differences in RSI score between one month, three months, six months after surgery and before surgery (p < .001 for all). Moreover, in the LPR positive group, there was a significant difference in RSI score among one month, three months and six months after surgery (p = .01).Conclusions and significance: The effect of OSA on LPR exists and OSA surgery can improve the symptoms of LPR with OSA obviously. For some LPR patients with OSA, the combination therapy of OSA and LPR is needed.

Abstract
Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and laryngopharyngeal reflux are diseases with a high prevalence in the overall population; however, it remains unclear whether they are diseases with the same risk factors present in the same populations or if there is any association between them. Objectives To evaluate and determine the prevalence of laryngopharyngeal reflux in patients with moderate and severe obstructive apnea syndrome and also to determine its predictive factors. Methods Historical cohort, cross-sectional study of patients aged 18–70 years, referred to a tertiary service Otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic with a polysomnographic diagnosis of moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The reflux symptom index questionnaire and the reflux finding score at indirect videolaryngoscopy were applied to the assessed population, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results Fifty-six patients were evaluated, of which 64.3% had a positive laryngopharyngeal reflux (positive reflux symptom index and/or positive endolaryngeal reflux finding score). Body mass index was a predictor of reflux presence in this group of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In patients with positive score for endoscopic findings and reflux symptom index (12.3%), there was a trend toward significance for a higher mean apnea–hypopnea index and a higher percentage of sleep time with oxyhemoglobin saturation below 90% (p = 0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of laryngopharyngeal reflux was higher in this group of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and the body mass index was a predictor of laryngopharyngeal reflux in these patients. There was a trend toward greater oxyhemoglobin desaturation in patients with a positive score for reflux symptoms index (RSI) and reflux finding score (RFS).

Abstract
Background: To investigate the presence of laryngopharyngeal reflux in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) employing the salivary pepsin concentration method. To compare the results of pepsin concentration with the severity of the pathology. Methods: Seventy-five OSA patients (44 males, 31 females) were enrolled in the study. For each patient, the AHI (apnea–hypopnea index) and the BMI (body mass index) were initially evaluated. All the patients enrolled were assessed using the reflux symptom index (RSI) and the reflux finding score (RFS) in order to perform a clinical diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux. In all patients a salivary sample was taken to estimate the presence of pepsin and its concentration. Results: The incidence of LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux) in OSA patients, evaluated using the salivary pepsin concentration test (PEP-test), was found to be 32% of cases. Linear regression testing did not show any correlation between AHI and pepsin concentration in salivary samples (p = 0.1). Conclusion: A high number of patients with OSA seem to show positivity for salivary pepsin, correlated to an LPR. There does not appear to be a correlation between the severity of apnea and the grade of salivary pepsin reflux. On the other hand, direct correlation between BMI and the value of pepsin in salivary specimens was observed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is evidence that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) tend to have a high prevalence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and dysphagia. These diseases are known to share the same risk factors and may be interrelated, but there is a lack of studies evaluating their co-occurrence. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the presence of signs and symptoms suggestive of LPR may be associated with the presence of dysphagia in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as well as assess the additional impact of these diseases on quality of life in patients with OSA. METHODS Seventy adult patients with moderate or severe OSA were included in the study. The RSI (Reflux Symptom Index) and Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL) in dysphagia questionnaires were administered, laryngoscopy was performed to calculate the Reflux Finding Score (RFS), and fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) was conducted. RESULTS The prevalence of LPR was 59.7%, and the prevalence of dysphagia was 27.3%. The association between LPR and dysphagia was present in 17.9% of patients, but with no statistically significant difference. Lower SWAL-QOL scores were observed in several domains in patients with LPR and in only one domain in patients with evidence of dysphagia on FEES. CONCLUSIONS Although 17.9% of patients presented with findings suggestive of concomitant LPR and dysphagia, there was no statistically significant association between these two conditions. Patients with LPR had worse scores in several domains of dysphagia-related quality of life, while FEES evidence of dysphagia was associated with worse quality of life in only one domain.

Abstract
PURPOSE Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a frequent condition in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) patients and different studies have been published in the last years about this topic. A review of the published literature regarding LPR in OSA patients has been reported. A meta-analysis to evaluate the incidence of LPR in OSA patients and correlate LPR positivity with OSA patients' characteristics has been performed. METHODS A comprehensive review of the English language literature about LPR in OSA patients was performed using the most important electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library etc.). A total of 10 papers studying LPR in OSA were assessed and considered eligible for the meta-analysis. RESULTS The data analysis regarding 870 identified OSA patients showed that 394 patients were LPR +, while 476 were LPR-. The meta-analysis showed no statistical difference regarding the AHI value between LPR + patients and LPR- patients (p = 0,3). Mean BMI was more higher in LPR + patients than in the patients without LPR, showing a significant statistical difference (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Current international literature demonstrates a high incidence of LPR (45.2%) in OSA patients. The severity of AHI in OSA patients would not seem to correlate with the presence of laryngopharyngeal reflux. The OSA patients with LPR showed a higher BMI compared with LPR- patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previous studies investigating the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) demonstrate mixed results and have had limited capacity to control for concurrent confounders. Our objectives were to (1) determine if GER is significantly associated with OSA when simultaneously adjusting for the presence of other potentially confounding conditions and (2) quantify the magnitude of any such association that exists. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, 2005-2010. SETTING Ambulatory visits in the United States. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Adults with a diagnosis of OSA or GER and potentially confounding conditions were identified. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, as well as sensitivity analyses based on increasingly narrow diagnostic definitions. RESULTS A significant positive association between GER and OSA was observed, which persisted after adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, sinonasal obstructive and inflammatory disorders, laryngopharyngeal obstructive and inflammatory disorders, obesity, asthma, and lung disorders. This positive association remained significant regardless of diagnostic criteria, whether broad (odds ratio: 1.94, 95% confidence interval: 1.07-3.54, P = .030) or narrow (odds ratio: 2.13, 95% confidence interval: 1.17-3.88, P = .014). CONCLUSION In this analysis of a national database defining the 3 most prioritized diagnoses, GER is independently associated with OSA, with double the odds of concurrent occurrence, even while controlling for potentially related conditions.
