Abstract
From 1/34 to 8/86 130 infants were referred because of an event of prolonged apnea, hypotonia and cyanosis or pallor. The study protocol consisted in a night polygrafic recording (P.R.). A metabolic, neurological, toxicoloyical, gastrointestinal and cardiological work up.
Gastroesophageal reflux was suspected in 73/130 patients. In 48 patients 24-h intra esophageal pH monitoring was performed simultaneously with polypgraphic recording. In 33/48 patients an overt peptic GER was found:
Conclusion: severe GEK was objectivated in 33/130 (25%) of patients with NMSID. This was the most frequent pathological association found.
