Extraesophageal Reflux: What Is the Best Parameter for pH-Monitoring Data Analysis from the Perspective of Patient Response to Proton Pump Inhibitors?

Figure 1

Three different parameters used for pH-monitoring data analysis are compared. There are 3 reflux episodes displayed (Episode 1, Episode 2, and Episode 3). Acid exposure time is the sum of Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3. Reflux area is the sum of calculated a1, a2, and a3 areas.
