AbstractOBJECTIVE: To quantify normal proximal and distal oesophageal acid parameters in healthy Chinese. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twenty healthy adults who were not on medication and were free from gastrointestinal symptoms were recruited by advertisement. Ambulatory oesophageal acid (pH<4) exposure parameters were recorded at distal and proximal sites, 5 and 20 cm, respectively above the lower oesophageal sphincter. RESULTS: The 95th percentile for reflux parameters assessed in the distal/proximal oesophagus were: percent total time pH<4, 4.6/0.7%; percent upright time pH<4, 7.0/1.1%; percent supine time pH<4, 4.5/0.5%; number of reflux episodes, 73/12; number of reflux episodes with pH<4 for >5 minutes, 4/0; and the longest single acid exposure episode, 11.2/3.0 minutes. CONCLUSION: Physiological gastroesophageal reflux occurs in healthy Chinese. These initial data provide a preliminary reference range that could be utilised by laboratories studying Chinese subjects.
