Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Adolescent Medicine

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) is less common in healthy adolescents.
  • GERD prevalence increases with co-occurring chronic medical conditions like cerebral palsy, asthma, and cystic fibrosis.
  • GERD is a critical consideration in the differential diagnosis for numerous gastrointestinal and airway symptoms in adolescents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of GERD in adolescents.
  • To discuss clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of GERD specific to this age group.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of GERD in adolescents.
  • Synthesis of current understanding and clinical guidelines.

Main Results:

  • GERD presentation in adolescents can vary.
  • Diagnostic approaches should be tailored to the adolescent population.
  • Treatment strategies require consideration of adolescent-specific factors.

Conclusions:

  • GERD is an important diagnosis to consider in adolescents, particularly those with chronic illnesses.
  • A thorough understanding of GERD's unique aspects in adolescence is essential for effective management.
