Esophageal pH monitoring is the accepted standard for the investigation of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in adults. A postal questionnaire was sent to 912 United Kingdom paediatric physicians & surgeons. Five hundred forty-seven (61%) replied, with 124 (22.7%) currently using the technique, mostly in conjunction with barium swallow and/or esophagoscopy. The use of pH monitoring to quantify GER was also accepted in principal as being the best determinant of reflux by a further 186 (34%), but as yet was unavailable in their hospitals. Pediatricians were also questioned as to their management of children with GER. The majority were treated medically with a variety of antireflux medication, with only 237 (42%) referring cases for surgery. |
