Excerpt

The association of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and pulmonary diseases is well known.1 Early studies showed that gastroduodenal contents may reflux up to the proximal esophagus2 and cause aspiration.3 Other studies showed a higher incidence of GERD in patients with asthma,4 interstitial fibrosis,5 chronic cough,6 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).710
