| Core Tip |
Gastroesophageal reflux has been associated with poor lung transplant outcomes, including allograft injury and rejection. While ambulatory pH-testing only measures acid reflux, multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) assesses total bolus reflux, regardless of acidity. Comparison of pH-testing and MII measures of reflux in the prediction of lung transplant outcomes may improve and standardize pre-transplant reflux testing. Our study demonstrated that pre-transplant MII measures of bolus reflux perform better than their pH-testing counterparts to predict early allograft injury post-lung transplantation. MII should be performed alongside pH testing for reflux assessment during pre-lung transplant evaluation. |
