Gastroesophageal reflux and sinusitis in asthma

Clin Chest Med. 1995 Dec;16(4):683-97.

Abstract

The evidence that links gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and sinusitis to asthma from a pathophysiologic viewpoint is reviewed. The clinical relationships are explored in disease prevalence and studies assessing whether interventions that treat either GER or sinusitis improve asthma. An overview of patient evaluation and treatment is presented.
