The incidence, reproducibility and mechanism of gastrooesophageal reflux demonstrated by radiology in normals, dyspeptics, and patients with oesophagitis.
The incidence, reproducibility, and mechanisms of food-stimulated gastrooesophageal reflux demonstrated by radiography were investigated in 100 subjects: 30 normaldeletes, 52 dyspeptics, and 18 patients with oesophagitis. The average incidence and reproducibility were in normals: 17%-76% respectively, in dyspeptics: 40%-86% respectively, and in oesophagitis: 83%-81% respectively. In normals only active gastrooesophageal reflux was noticed whereas in dyspeptics and patients with oesophagitis free as well as active gastrooesophageal reflux occurred.
