There is a need to identify factors outside of abnormal reflux that contribute to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Esophageal hypervigilance is a psychological process impacting symptom experience in esophageal disease. However, little is known about the presence of hypervigilance in GERD phenotypes, especially in those with abnormal acid exposure or symptom index scores. The primary aim was to assess differences in self-reported esophageal hypervigilance across different GERD presentations. The secondary aim was to evaluate esophageal hypervigilance as a predictor of symptom severity.

食管高度警惕在胃食管反流病表现中普遍存在

有必要确定导致胃食管反流病 (GERD) 的异常反流以外的因素。食管过度警觉是影响食管疾病症状体验的心理过程。然而，对于 GERD 表型中存在过度警觉知之甚少，特别是在酸暴露或症状指数评分异常的那些中。主要目的是评估不同 GERD 表现中自我报告的食管过度警觉的差异。次要目的是评估食管过度警觉作为症状严重程度的预测因子。
