Relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease and objective sleep quality.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

To objectively characterize (1) the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and sleep quality, and (2) the influence of sleep position on this relationship, using in-laboratory polysomnography.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed first-night diagnostic in-laboratory polysomnography data for 3411 patients (median age 55 years; 48% male). Medication use and medical condition data were obtained through self-reported questionnaires. Associations between sleep quality and the presence of GERD, and the influence of sleep position on these associations, were analyzed using multivariable linear regression models.

Results
