title: [24-hour measurement of pH and its significance in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux in children].
abstract: During 1987-1989 the authors examined 57 patients; reflux disease was detected in 33 (i.e. 57.89%). In the group of patients where the indication for examination was based on symptomatology typical for respiratory diseases, they found a higher rate of positive findings--62%. The authors draw attention to some methodological problems of 24-hour pH-metry. They explain the advantages of the mentioned examination method in relation to the subsequent therapy.
