https://www.selleckchem.com/products/az-33.html Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) shows promise in investigating reflux disease by reflecting esophageal mucosal integrity. This study aimed to measure MNBI by both conventional and simple methods in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in order to evaluate the efficacy of the simple measurement method. Altogether 187 patients were divided into LPR (n=105) or GERD (n=82) groups according to their predominant symptom profile, and underwent off-therapy impedance-pH monitoring. MNBI was measured by both the conventional and simple methods. The Bland-Altman plots were constructed to assess mean differences and to identify bias in the two measurement methods. For the two measurement methods, mean difference was (-89 ± 328) Ω in the distal esophagus, (-6 ± 653) Ω in the proximal esophagus, and (128 ± 577) Ω in the pharynx, respectively. There was a strong correlation between conventional and simple MNBI values, with the coefficient of 0.940 in the distal esophagus, 0.463 in the proximal esophagus, and 0.712 in the pharynx (all P < 0.001). There was an excellent agreement between the conventional and simple methods of MNBI measurement, with no evidence of proportional bias. Conventional and simple MNBI values correlated excellently in the distal esophagus and moderately well in the proximal esophagus and pharynx. This study supports the use of the simple method of measuring MNBI to enhance diagnoses of reflux disease.
