ABSTRACT
At present, objective methods for diagnosing laryngopharyngeal reflux disease(LPRD) are not minimally invasive, effective, and economical. Diagnostic scales are widely used worldwide due to the advantages of inexpensive, noninvasive, and easy to operate. The reflux symptom index(RSI) and the reflux finding score(RFS) are preferred to use in clinical diagnosis. However, many controversies have appeared in the application of RSI and RFS in recent years, causing many troubles to clinical diagnosis. Therefore, this review briefly discusses the problems of RSI and RFS in clinical applications to provide reference for diagnosing LPRD accurately.
