OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between LPR and common pharyngeal diseases and its risk factors.METHODS A total of 280 patients who were admitted to the Inpatient Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery or Laryngoscopy Room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University due to throat discomfort from September 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects.All enrolled patients were required to complete the RSI and RFS scoring scales.According to the 2022 LPRD expert Consensus,RSI>13 and/or RFS>7 were classified as LPR group,and RSI≤13 and RFS≤7 are classified as non-LPR group.Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in the incidence of common pharyngeal diseases such as upper respiratory tract papilloma,epiglottic cyst,vocal cord polyp,vocal cord leucoplakia,vocal cord cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer among different groups.Univariate Chi-square test analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were performed for gender,age,BMI,smoking and drinking history.All differences were statistically significant with P<0.05.RESULTS The prevalence of LPR in 280 patients with throat discomfort was 70.0%(196/280).There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of LPR group and non-LPR group in patients with vocal cord polyp(χ2=4.228,P<0.05),vocal cord leukoplakia(χ2=12.283,P<0.05),vocal cord cancer(χ2=4.103,P<0.05)and hypopharyngeal cancer(χ2=4.907,P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the incidence of LPR group and non-LPR group in patients with papilloma of upper respiratory tract(χ2=0.183,P>0.05)and epiglottic cyst(χ2=0.556,P>0.05).Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the incidence rates of smoking(χ2=20.403,P<0.05)and drinking(χ2=7.704,P<0.05)between the LPR group and the non-LPR group,while gender(χ2=0.01,P>0.05),age(χ2=8.147,P>0.05),BMI(χ2=2.060,P>0.05)had no significant difference.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking(OR=3.390,95%CI:1.761-6.526,P<0.05)was an independent risk factor for LPR.CONCLUSION There is a high co-prevalence of LPR with vocal cord polyps,vocal cord leukoplakia,vocal cord cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer.Therefore,LPR should be evaluated when treating throat related diseases,and LPR should be actively treated if necessary.In addition,smoking and drinking are risk factors for LPR,so it is necessary to stop smoking and drinking alcohol when treating LPR.
