| description | Introduction and aims: The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been reported to be increasing in recent years. However, there have been few reports on the prevalence of GERD during pregnancy in the Asian population. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of GERD in Vietnamese pregnant women. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the antenatal clinic of the Nhan Dan Gia Dinh Hospital, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Four hundred females, at various stages of pregnancy, were enrolled. GERD was diagnosed if there was troublesome heartburn and/or acid regurgitation, at least once a week, during the current pregnancy. Results: The overall prevalence of GERD in pregnancy was 38.5% (154/400). The prevalence of GERD in the third trimester was significantly higher than that in the second trimester (46.8% vs. 30.7%, P = 0.008) and tended to be higher than its prevalence in the first trimester (46.8% vs. 35.4%, P = 0.051). In the pregnant women with GERD, the frequency of regurgitation was significantly higher than that of heartburn (92.9% vs. 30.5%, P < 0.001). Those typical symptoms were more prevalent in the daytime, compared with nighttime. Conclusion: Our study showed that GERD was prevalent during pregnancy in Vietnam. In the pregnant women with GERD, regurgitation was much more common than heartburn, and those typical reflux symptoms occurred more frequently in the daytime, compared with nighttime. Resumen: Introducción y objetivos: La prevalencia de la enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE) ha aumentado en los últimos años. Sin embargo, hay pocos informes sobre el predominio de esta afección durante el embarazo en la población asiática. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la prevalencia y las características de la ERGE entre las mujeres embarazadas vietnamitas. Material y métodos: Este estudio transversal se llevó a cabo en el Hospital Nhan Dan Gia Din, en Vietnam. Se incluyó a 400 mujeres embarazadas en distintas fases del embarazo. La manera de diagnosticar la ERGE fue la observación de presencia de pirosis molesta o regurgitación ácida al menos una vez a la semana durante el embarazo. Resultados: La prevalencia de ERGE en el embarazo fue del 38,5% (154/400). Esa prevalencia en el tercer trimestre fue mayor que en el segundo trimestre (46,8 frente a 30,7%; p = 0,008) y tendió a ser mayor que en el primer trimestre (46,8 frente a 35,4%; p = 0,051). La frecuencia de regurgitación fue mayor que la de pirosis (92,9 vs. 30,5%; p < 0,001). Estos síntomas típicos se manifestaron con mayor frecuencia durante el día que durante la noche. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio demostró que la ERGE era prevalente en el embarazo en Vietnam. Entre las mujeres embarazadas con ERGE, la regurgitación era mucho más común que la pirosis y estos síntomas típicos de reflujo ocurrían con más frecuencia durante el día que durante la noche. |
