Abstract EN
The aim of this paper was to investigate the temporal association of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and body movement in infants.
GER were registered by combined impedance-pH, documentation of body movement was done by video.
Videorecording time (Vt) was divided into “resting time” and “movement time” and analyzed for occurrence of GER.
Association was defined as movement 1 minute before/after the beginning of a GER.
Statistical evaluation was by Fisher's exact test.
In 15 infants, 341 GER were documented during Vt (86 hours).
336 GER (99%) were associated with movement, only 5 episodes (1%) occured during resting time.
Movement was significantly associated with the occurrence of GER (P<.0001).
There is a strong temporal association between GER and body movement in infants.
However, a clear distinction between cause and effect could not be made with the chosen study design.
Combined impedance-pH has proven to be the ideal technique for this approach.
