Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in children and young people: diagnosis and management

Recommendation ID: NG1/1
Question: What are the symptoms of GORD in infants, children and young people with a neurodisability?
Any explanatory notes (if applicable): The evidence reviewed on the symptoms associated with GORD in children and young people with a neurodisability was limited to 3 studies and graded as low‑ to very low‑quality. The lack of a set of clearly defined features makes GORD difficult to recognise and differentiate from other vomiting problems. The proposed study would use objective measures of reflux (such as oesophageal pH monitoring) to assess GORD symptoms in infants, children and young people with a neurodisability.
