WinPro: Prospective Evaluation of pH-impedance Tracings According to the Wingate Consensus, and Influence on GERD Classification According to the Lyon Consensus
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Commonly, in clinical practice an automated analysis of pH-MII tracings is obtained.

Detailed Description
All pH-MII performed in UZ Brussel are already reviewed manually according to the Wingate con-sensus and interpreted according to the Lyon consensus. In this study, we will prospectively catego-rise the reasons for discarding reflux episodes identified by automated analysis during the manual review according to the Wingate consensus, as well as the impact on different parameters related to the interpretation of pH-MII. Based on comments received to our retrospective study, we will eval-uate possible confounders to the interpretation, including the indication for referral for pH-MII, symptom severity, use of PPI during pH-MII.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Statistical difference in the GRED categorisation [During baseline visit]
the statistical difference in the distribution of GERD categorisation between automated vs. manual review of the pH-MII tracings
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The analysis of the influence of different parameters on application of the Wingate criteria: including the Indication for referral with further classification into predominant oesophageal and extra-oesophageal symptoms; [During baseline visit]
- The analysis of the influence of different parameters on application of the Wingate criteria: including the GERD Symptom Severity; [During baseline visit]
- The analysis of the influence of different parameters on application of the Wingate criteria: including the patient being on or off PPI; [During baseline visit]
- The analysis of the influence of different parameters on application of the Wingate criteria: including MNBI (obtained by automated analysis or manually calculated); [During baseline visit]
- Presence of significant correlations between censored episodes and pH-MII parameters [During baseline visit]
Correlations including: Acid exposure time; Total number of reflux episodes identified by impedance monitoring; MNBI; PSPWI.
- Impact of the Wingate criteria on The number of PSPW; [During baseline visit]
- Impact of the Wingate criteria on The number of symptoms associated with an impedance episode. [During baseline visit]
- Impact of the Wingate criteria on the number of impedance episodes with or without acidic reflux [During baseline visit]
