The association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngeal disorders remains debatable, although it has been the focus of extensive clinical and laboratory research. We conducted this study to obtain evidence on the association.
Population-based cohort study.
Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).
Using data from Taiwan's NHIRD (January 2000 to December 2018), we performed a population-based analysis to estimate the risk of laryngeal disorders in patients with GERD and those without GERD.
The GERD and non-GERD cohorts comprised 176,319 and 705,276 patients, respectively. The cohorts were matched at a ratio of 1:4 based on sex, age, urbanization level, and income level. The risk of laryngeal disorders was higher in the GERD cohort than in the non-GERD cohort (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.64; 95% confidence interval: 1.61-1.67).
This study is the first to use population data for identifying the association between GERD and laryngeal disorders for real-world findings. Our population-based analysis indicates that patients with GERD have an elevated risk of laryngeal disorders.
尽管胃食管反流病(GERD)与喉部疾病之间的关联一直是广泛临床和实验室研究的重点,但两者之间的关系仍存在争议。我们开展这项研究以获取相关关联的证据。
基于人群的队列研究。
台湾国民健康保险研究数据库(NHIRD)。
利用台湾NHIRD(2000年1月至2018年12月)的数据,我们进行了一项基于人群的分析,以评估GERD患者和非GERD患者发生喉部疾病的风险。
GERD队列和非GERD队列分别包括176,319例和705,276例患者。根据性别、年龄、城市化水平和收入水平,两组队列以1:4的比例进行匹配。GERD队列中喉部疾病的风险高于非GERD队列(调整后风险比:1.64;95%置信区间:1.61 - 1.67)。
本研究首次使用人群数据来确定GERD与喉部疾病之间的关联,以获得真实世界的研究结果。我们基于人群的分析表明,GERD患者发生喉部疾病的风险升高。
