Abstrakt: Objectives/HypothesisDetermination of intrapharyngeal distribution of gastric acid refluxate is needed to better understand the pathogenesis of reflux‐attributed aerodigestive tract disorders. The aims of the study were to determine intrapharyngeal distribution of gastric acid refluxate and to determine whether this distribution can better differentiate patients from control subjects compared with data obtained from a single hypopharyngeal site.
