Potential value of using pH‐impedance monitoring to evaluate for rumination syndrome in children

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives pH‐impedance monitoring (pH‐MII) is often used to evaluate severity and type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The Nakagawa rumination score, which is derived using data from pH‐MII, has been proposed as a metric to diagnose rumination syndrome in adults. However, this approach has not been validated in children. Esophageal
