Abstract

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and related risk factors of laryngopharyngeal reflux in otolaryngology. Method:During January 2019 to March 2019, the inpatients in otolaryngology were investigated by the questionnaire of reflux symptom index scale and the laryngopharyngeal reflux related risk factors were analyzed. Result:Among the 227 patients, 33 patients with suspected LPR contained 19 patients(20.7%) of 92 patients in the laryngopharyngeal group, 10 patients(16.1%) of 62 patients in the nasal group, and 4 patients(5.5%) of 73 patients in the ear group. LPR prevalence in the laryngopharyngeal group was statistically different from that in the ear group(P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, smoking, drinking and BMI were risk factors of LPR(P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that BMI was an independent risk factor of LPR(P<0.01). Conclusion:LPR had a high prevalence rate in otolaryngology related diseases, and appropriate synergistic anti-LPR treatment could be carried out while treating otolaryngology related diseases.

目的:调查咽喉反流(LPR)在耳鼻咽喉科住院患者中的患病率及相关危险因素。 方法:采用反流症状指数(RSI)量表对住院患者进行问卷调查,并对LPR的相关危险因素进行分析。 结果:接受问卷调查的患者共227例,疑诊LPR患者33例,其中咽喉组19例(20.7%),鼻组10例(16.1%),耳组4例(5.5%)。咽喉组LPR患病率与耳组有统计学差异(P<0.05)。单因素Logistic回归分析年龄、性别、抽烟、饮酒和BMI是LPR的危险因素(P<0.05),多因素Logistic回归分析显示,BMI是LPR的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。 结论:LPR在耳鼻咽喉相关疾病中有较高的患病率,在治疗耳鼻咽喉相关疾病的同时可以进行适当的协同抗LPR治疗。.
