[Scintigraphy and esophageal pH measurement in adults with gastroesophageal reflux].
Thirty-seven adults with gastroesophageal reflux were explored by gastroesophageal scintigraphy and pH monitoring (three hours postprandial). Scintigraphy was less frequently positive than pH test in gastroesophageal reflux (81% versus 57%) with a significant difference. It is suggested that postprandial pH monitoring is reliable in the initial assessment of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux.
