Discounting the duration of bolus exposure in impedance testing underestimates acid reflux

BACKGROUND: Combined impedance-pH testing (MII) allows for detection of reflux episodes regardless of pH. However impedance-based diagnosis of reflux may not routinely account for duration of the reflux episode. We hypothesize that impedance testing may be less sensitive than pH-testing in detecting...
