Efficacy and safety of medical and nutritional management of gastroesophageal reflux in formula-fed infants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The prescription of proton pump inhibitors has an increasing trend, despite that guidelines recommend nutritional management as first-line management.

The effects of assisted autogenic drainage, combined or not with bouncing on gastroesophageal reflux in infants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
AIM: This study aimed to determine the effect of assisted autogenic drainage (AAD) with or without bouncing (BAAD) on both acid and non-acid gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in infants <1 year.
METHODS: During a 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (MII-pH), infants were treated with a 20 minutes intervention of AAD (in supine position) or BAAD (in upright position), two hours postprandial. In this controlled ...
Prolonged slow expiration technique and gastroesophageal reflux in infants under the age of 1 year Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Evidence about the effect of PSE on gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is currently lacking in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of PSE on GER in infants under the age of 1 year.

Regurgitation and gastroesophageal reflux disease in six to nine months old Indonesian infants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: Regurgitation is known to peak at the age of 3-4 months, with a sharp decrease around the age of 6 months. Little is known about the natural evolution of infants who still regurgitate after the age of 6 months. Methods: Hundred thirty-one infants older than 6 months regurgitating more than once a day were followed for a period of 3 months. Results: According to our data, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is seldom at this age. ...
