Prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that is caused by gastric acid flowing from the stomach into the esophagus. As per definition we can understand gastroesophageal refers to stomach and esophagus, and the reflex means flow back. It is very common in infants and most common cause is vomiting during infancy. Up to 67% of healthy infants manifest more than one regurgitant episode daily.[4] The peak incidence of symptomatic infantile reflux weather pathological (GERD) or not, is 4 months of age. This resolves in most infants by 1-2 years of age, unlike the pattern in children who are older than 3 years, less than 50% of who have spontaneous resolution of symptoms 5
