Nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux and pulmonary abnormalities on chest CT in a general population: the Swedish CArdioPulmonary BioImage Study
In a middle-aged general population, nGER was not associated with pulmonary abnormalities on chest CT. However, in the presence of other risk factors for pulmonary abnormalities, nGER was associated with bronchial wall thickening and reticular abnormalities. Persons with nGER and risk factors for pulmonary abnormalities should, therefore, be evaluated for respiratory disease and treated appropriately.
