PG - 578-585 LID - S0892-1997(21)00098-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jvoice.2021.03.002 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility of middle-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) weaning in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and evaluate patient awareness of PPI adverse events. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 100 LPR patients treated with an association of diet, PPIs, and alginate. Patients were followed from September 2016 to May 2020. At the end of the initial 3-to-6 months therapeutic period, LPR patients were weaned from PPIs and instructed to respect diet and stress management over the long-term. The 3-year symptom recurrence rate, PPI use, and patient awareness of PPI adverse events were assessed. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients completed the evaluation. Twenty-seven patients (40.3%) reported a chronic course of LPR-symptoms, requiring chronic or occasional PPI use. LPR symptom recurrence occurred 1-to-2 or 3-to-5 times yearly in 8.9% and 20.9% of patients, respectively. Recurrences were managed by short-term diet, alginate, or PPI intake. The remaining patients (29.9%) did not report middle-term LPR recurrence. The 3-year weaning rate of occasional or chronic use of PPIs was 64.2%. Among participants, 26.8% were aware of PPI-related adverse events, most frequently through physicians (33%), online sources (17%), and friends or family (17%). Nonresponder patients were significantly more aware of PPI adverse events than responders (P = 0.029). PPI-attributed adverse events occurred in 29.8% of patients. CONCLUSION: Sixty-four percent of LPR patients treated with PPIs were weaned at 3-year posttreatment time. Different forms of LPR may exist regarding symptom relief, recurrences, and chronic course.
