  • Title: Cough associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD): Japanese experience.
    Author: Niimi A.
    Journal: Pulm Pharmacol Ther; 2017 Dec; 47():59-65. PubMed ID: 28506663.
    Abstract:
    Differences in the aetiology as well as patient background of chronic cough have been recognised among US, UK, and Japan. One of the marked differences has been the prevalence of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), which has been one of the top three causes in Western countries. It was indeed uncommon or rare in Japan, but, with the increasing prevalence of GOR itself, chronic cough associated with GORD seems to have become more common. In this article, cough associated with GORD will be reviewed based on literature and our Japanese experience. Further, potentially broader relevance of GORD in chronic cough will also be mentioned, highlighting the potential importance of dysmotiliy/non-acid reflux.
