| Abstract | ||||
| Objectives: This study examines the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and nasal disorders, emphasizing risk factors and clinical correlates. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 100 patients with nasal symptoms was performed at Minia University Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024. Patients were have nasal symptoms and then evaluated by the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) for chronic rhinosinusitis (30) and (70) not chronic rhinosinusitis . Participants were categorized into two groups: GERD-positive (52 patients) and GERD-negative (48 patients), evaluated using the Frequency Scale for Symptoms of GERD (FSSG). Risk factors including dietary practices, environmental exposures, and demographic information were examined. Outcomes: Patients with GERD exhibited markedly more exposure to dust, spicy foods, carbonated beverages, and late-night snacking compared to those without GERD. The statistically substantial female predominance in GERD-positive cases indicates potential hormonal and lifestyle factors. No significant link was observed between GERD and body mass index (BMI), age, or the consumption of coffee and tea. Conclusion: GERD is notably correlated with particular risk factors and signs of nasal disease. Female patients and exposure to specific dietary and environmental factors elevate the risk of GERD, requiring customized management strategies for effective control. | ||||
