AMBULATORY REFLUX MONITORING GUIDES PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR DISCONTINUATION IN PATIENTS WITH GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX SYMPTOMS: A CLINICAL TRIAL

While a proportion do not require ongoing PPI therapy, a diagnostic approach to identify candidates appropriate for PPI cessation is not available. This study aimed to examine the clinical utility of prolonged wireless reflux monitoring to predict ability to discontinue PPI.
