Description
Summary:Background: The association between nocturnal Asthma and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been widely researched, yet its complexities remain only partially understood. This systematic review aims to elucidate the connection between night-time asthma and the incidence of GERD, with a focus on nocturnal GERD's impact on respiratory function. Methods: Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of eight databases- PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar was performed to collect studies examining the link between nocturnal Asthma and GERD. Selection criteria were established a priori, and data from relevant studies were extracted and assessed for methodological quality. Results: Our review synthesized data from eleven studies that consistently showed a link between nocturnal GERD and Asthma. Night-time GERD episodes were found to correlate with increased respiratory load and a higher risk of developing r
