摘 要:In a recent issue ot World Journal of Gastroenterology, Demeter et al., reported that in patients having both gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there was a positive correlation between endoscopic findings of GERD and the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour, namely apnea hypopnea index. They proposed that the severity of OSA and GERD are parallel to each other. The study of Demeter and colleagues is very important, not only for assessing reflux-induced esophageal damage in OSA,
