摘要

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is characterized as the passage of gastric content into the esophagus and can be present with and without regurgitation or vomiting.

Background

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in children is a common diagnosis. The diagnosis and management have evolved in the past few years. Our objectives are to discuss the signs and symptoms, evaluation, and management of GER in children. 

Methods

A thorough literature review of recent publications as well as the updated guidelines for reflux in infants and children from the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NAPSPGHAN) were reviewed. 

Conclusions

We provide updated guidelines and recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of GER in children.
