Does intraesophageal pressure recording improve the detection of cough during multichannel intraluminal impedance testing in children?
Parental and patient symptom recording in children is inadequate for making the diagnosis of reflux-related lung disease. If patients undergo pH-MII testing for reflux-related cough, IEPR should become the new standard by which to correlate reflux with cough.
Hyperglycemia at admission is an independent predictor of outcome and infection in trauma patients. Future investigation on the effects of hyperglycemia are warranted.
