Two parameters, mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) and post-reflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave index (PSPW), have been recently proposed to help differentiate GERD phenotypes. Our study aimed to assess whether there is any correlation between the two parameters, while also taking a look at their ability to distinguish between GERD phenotypes. We recruited 81 patients who were divided into 4 groups based on their GERD phenotype: erosive reflux disease (ERD), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), reflux hypersensitivity (RH), and functional heartburn (FH). Both MNBI (AUROC 0.855) and PSPW (AUROC 0.835) had very good performances in separating ERD patients from non-ERD patients. PSPW (AUROC 0.784) was superior to MNBI (AUROC 0.703) in distinguishing NERD patients from patients with RH or FH. The PSPW index (AUROC 0.762) was more effective than MNBI (AUROC 0.668) in separating RH from FH. We found that PSPW and MNBI have a strong statistical correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient, r = 0.722, p &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, PSPW predicted pathological MNBI (&lt;2292 \u03a9) with good performance (AUROC 0.807). MNBI and PSPW are useful in distinguishing GERD phenotypes, with a strong correlation between the two parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13243602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]],"date-time":"2023-12-05T08:09:17Z","timestamp":1701763757000},"page":"3602","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Association between Mean Nocturnal Baseline Impedance (MNBI) and Post-Reflux Swallow-Induced Peristaltic Wave Index (PSPW) in GERD Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Elena Roxana","family":"Sararu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine II and Gastroenterology Department, Emergency University Hospital Bucharest, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Razvan","family":"Peagu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine Department, Sanador Hospital, 010991 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Fierbinteanu-Braticevici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine II and Gastroenterology Department, Emergency University Hospital Bucharest, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1900","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2006.00630.x","article-title":"The Montreal definition and classification of gastroesophageal reflux disease: A global evidence-based consensus","volume":"101","author":"Vakil","year":"2006","journal-title":"Am.
