Of patients with chronic cough, 21% have GERD. Up to half of these patients may not respond adequately to medical, but the long-term results of antireflux surgery for cough is unknown.
A total of 905 patients (209 with respiratory symptoms, mainly cough) underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Preoperatively patients underwent esophageal motility studies, 24-h pH monitoring, and symptom evaluation using a validated scale. Of eligible patients, 81% were followed at 6 months, 73% at 2 years, and 60% at 5 years.
Before surgery, 83% of respiratory patients (RP) and 51% of nonrespiratory patients (NRP) had cough. RP had higher cough scores ( p < 0.0001), but improvement in cough compared to baseline was similar in the RP and NRP ( p = 0.1105 at 6 months, 0.4206 at 2 years, and 0.1348 at 5 years). Cough improved in 83% at 6 months, 74% at 2 years, and 71% at 5 years.
Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is successful in the long-term control of GERD-related cough, even in patients who fail medical therapy.
在慢性咳嗽患者中,21%患有胃食管反流病(GERD)。这些患者中多达一半可能对药物治疗反应不佳,但抗反流手术治疗咳嗽的长期效果尚不清楚。
共有905例患者(209例有呼吸道症状,主要为咳嗽)接受了腹腔镜下尼森胃底折叠术。术前患者接受食管动力研究、24小时pH监测,并使用经过验证的量表进行症状评估。符合条件的患者中,81%在6个月时接受随访,73%在2年时接受随访,60%在5年时接受随访。
手术前,83%的呼吸道疾病患者(RP)和51%的非呼吸道疾病患者(NRP)有咳嗽症状。RP患者的咳嗽评分更高(p<0.0001),但与基线相比,RP和NRP患者咳嗽症状的改善情况相似(6个月时p=0.1105,2年时p=0.4206,5年时p=0.1348)。6个月时83%的患者咳嗽症状改善,2年时为74%,5年时为71%。
腹腔镜下尼森胃底折叠术在长期控制GERD相关咳嗽方面是成功的,即使是对药物治疗无效的患者。
