Abstract
In contrast to previous studies, we found that TLESRs are associated more often with reflux in patients with NERD than control subjects; this association increases when only liquid and mixed refluxes are considered. These findings indicate that factors involved in the occurrence of reflux in patients with NERD during TLESRs are different from those in healthy subjects.
