Summary
Brief summary
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) has been found to be prevalent in children with cystic
fibrosis (CF)and may further worsen lung damage via reflex bronchospasm or pulmonary
aspiration. Chest physiotherapy may result in increased episodes of GOR as demonstrated in
children. Lung transplantation may worsen pre-existing GOR. This study will determine the
prevalence, severity and significance of symptomatic and silent GOR in adults with CF before
and after lung transplant using 24hr oesophageal pH monitoring, a valid symptom
questionnaire, quality of life questionnaires and gastric emptying studies. This study will
identify the extent of GOR in a large adult CF population and the impact on lung function and
quality of life together with the effects of medical and physiotherapy treatment on
gastro-oesophageal function.
