AIM: Low mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) values support gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) diagnosis. Recent data denote that age and obesity may affect MNBI. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic MNBI cutoffs as also the effect of aging and body mass index (BMI) on MNBI.
METHODS: In total 311 patients (M/F: 139/172, mean age: 47 ± 13) referred for typical GERD symptoms that have undertaken both high-resolution manometry (HRM) and pH-Impedance studies off PPI were evaluated. MNBI at 3, 5, and 17 cm over lower esophageal sphincter (LES) were evaluated. GERD was diagnosed if acid exposure time (AET) >6%.
RESULTS: Mean BMI was 26.6 ± 5.9 kg/cm2 . GERD was diagnosed in 39.2% and 13.5% had inconclusive GERD. MNBI was correlated to patients' age, BMI, AET, and the length of LES-CD separation and at 3 cm also to the total number of reflux and LES hypotension. In the multivariate analysis MNBI at 3 and 5 cm was independently correlated only to age, BMI, and AET. Patients with definite GERD showed lower MNBI at 3 cm compared with inconclusive GERD though both showed lower values when compared with GERD absence. At 3 cm MNBI ability for diagnosing GERD was good (0.815, p < 0.001 95% CI: 0.766-0.863) with an optimal cutoff point of 1281 Ohm.
CONCLUSION: According to our study findings age and BMI affect independently lower esophageal MNBI values in patients evaluated for GERD. MNBI significantly aids toward GERD diagnosis though in a real-life setting MNBI values much lower than the one previously proposed should be used.
