What is Pre- and Postgastrostomy Evaluation of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Children Using 24-Hour pH Monitoring about?

The aim of this study was to evaluate 24-hour pH monitoring results before and after gastrostomy in neurological impaired (NI) children who underwent gastrostomy or Nissen fundoplication (NF) concurrently with gastrostomy. Between March and December 2018, NI patients who had previously received pre- and postgastrostomy (Group 1) or gastrostomy + NF (Group 2) underwent pH monitoring pre- and postoperatively. Twenty patients [12 males (60%) and the median age of 5.6 (14 months-14.7 years) years] with NI were followed up during the study period. When pre- and postgastrostomy weight and BMI z-scores were compared, the results were significantly higher in both groups after procedure ( = .043, = .040, respectively). The clinical results of the patients after the operation showed improvement in both groups. The pH index of Group 1 ( = 11) was 2.32 (0-3.8) before gastrostomy and 3.18 (2.1-6.9) after gastrostomy ( = .061) and in Group 2 ( = 9) it was 5.85 (4.9-15.8) and 0.61 (0.3-1.3), before and after procedure ( < .001). There was a statistically significant difference in reflux index of each group. This difference was not statistically significant between the groups ( = .072). When the
