RESUMEN
Se revisaron las historias clínicas de 364 pacientes con vinagreras y/o regurgitaciones, esto es, con síntomas de reflujo gastroesofágico (RGE), para precisar las frecuencias con que estos síntomas aparecieron en forma aislada o asociados con manifestaciones de dispepsia. Sólo 41 (11.3 por ciento) de los pacientes presentaron síntomas de RGE en forma aislada; en los restantes 323 (88.7 por ciento), los síntomas se presentaron asociados a manifestaciones de dispepsia. En vista de estos resultados y varias razones que planteamos en el presente trabajo, cuestionamos el acuerdo del Rome Working Group de separar el RGE del síndrome dispéptico.
ABSTRACT
The clinical histories of 364 patients with heartburn and/or regurgitations, that is, with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER), were reviewed to determine the frequencies with which these symptoms appeared in isolated form or associated with manifestatipns of dyspepsia. Only 41 (11.3 percent) of the patients presentedsymptoms of GER in isolated form; in the remaining 323 (88.7 percent), the symptoms appeared associated with manifestations of dyspepsia. In view of these results and various reasons exposed in the present article, we question the decision of the Rome Working Group of separating the GER from the dyspeptic syndrome.
