In this issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics, guest editors Drs. Inna A. Husain and Nikki Johnston bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. Although it is suggested that laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) accounts for up to 30% of outpatient otolaryngology visits, lack of formal diagnostic criteria, ease of testing, and varied treatment practices can lead to delay in care and high social/economic burden. In this edition, top experts review up-to-date information on pathophysiology of LPRD, including typical and atypical manifestations, role of diagnostic testing, updated treatment guidelines, and future directions of LPRD management.
Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including pediatric laryngopharyngeal reflux; microbiota, gut health, and LPRD; chronic cough and pulmonary manifestations of LPRD; the role of surgical intervention in LPRD; future directions for LPRD; and more Provides in-depth clinical reviews on laryngopharyngeal reflux, offering actionable insights for clinical practice Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews
