Table 3. Frequency of diagnosis of GERD by different methods in children with / without esophageal symptoms
Methods | Group A (with esophageal symptoms) n = 63 | Group B (no esophageal symptoms) n = 62 | Total n = 125 | p-value |
n / Total (%) | n / Total (%) | n / Total (%) |
EGDS | 32/43 (74) | 27/39 (69) | 59/82 (72) | 0,6036* |
Fluoroscopy | 48/54 (89) | 39/53 (74) | 87/107 (81,3) | 0,042* |
24-pH | 4/9 (44) | 1/11 (9) | 5/20 (25) | 0,127** |
pH-MII | 24/26 (92) | 16/17 (94) | 40/43 (93) | 1** |
Total | 58/63 (92) | 50/ 62 (81) | 108/125 (86,4) | 0,0637* |
