Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common non-respiratory comorbidity in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). However, little is known about the association between GERD and healthcare utilization and medical costs of NTM-PD. Thus, we evaluated this association using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service National Patient Sample. NTM-PD patients with GERD had significantly higher healthcare use and spent a higher total on medical costs (5,098 vs. 2,675 USD/person/year) than those without GERD ( <0.001 for all). Therefore, an appropriate management of GERD in NTM-PD patients can be an important factor to reduce the disease burden.
胃食管反流病（GERD）是非结核分枝杆菌肺病（NTM-PD）患者中常见的非呼吸系统合并症。然而，关于GERD与NTM-PD的医疗服务利用和医疗费用之间的关联，我们知之甚少。因此，我们使用健康保险审查与评估服务国家患者样本评估了这种关联。与无GERD的NTM-PD患者相比，有GERD的NTM-PD患者的医疗服务使用显著更高，医疗费用总额也更高（5098美元/人/年对2675美元/人/年，所有比较均P<0.001）。因此，对NTM-PD患者的GERD进行适当管理可能是减轻疾病负担的一个重要因素。
