The comorbid diseases can occur at any stage of bronchial obstruction, and, regardless of the severity or phase of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, significantly affect disability, increase the frequency of hospitalizations, and increase the cost of medical care. The presence of concomitant gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an independent aggravating risk factor for exacerbations and is associated with health deterioration of this group of patients. The purpose of the study was to study the features of the clinical course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of 138 patients who were treated in the pulmonology department for exacerbation of the disease and outpatient treatment by a gastroenterologist was carried out. 3 groups of patients were formed: 1 group (n=60) – patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease, 2 group (n=42) – patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease without signs of gastroesophageal reflux disease, who were treated in the pulmonology department for exacerbation of the disease and 3 group (n=36) – patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who were treated on an outpatient basis. The patients were similar in age, stage of disease and duration of illness. The average age of the patients was 55±1.64. It should be noted, regarding the gender characteristics of the groups, that among the examined patients by gender, men predominated – 78.4% (80 out of 102). Results and discussion. The main clinical and anamnestic features of the combined pathology were studied. The significance of the assessment of functional changes in spirometry indexes in this category of patients is described. A significant decrease in external respiration function was revealed in the indicators of the external respiration function in patients of all groups. In the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease the frequency of exacerbations increases. These exacerbations were associated with the presence and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms, namely increased heartburn, acid regurgitation causes worsening of respiratory symptoms, until the exacerbation of the disease with subsequent hospitalization. Also the length of stay in the hospital of the patients in this group increased by 1.5±0.4 days, which is associated with a severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the need to use a double dose of glucocorticoids to control the symptoms of respiratory failure. Among the complaints of patients with combined pathology, extraesophageal manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease prevailed. Conclusion. The presence of concomitant gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease expands and aggravates the clinical manifestations of the underlying disease

Objective: To determine the frequency of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in our population Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at medical out-patient Department, Services Hospital, Lahore; from September 2014 to March 2015. All the patients having chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) were included. COPD was defined as the patients having a ratio of “forced expiratory volume in one second” (FEVI) to “forced vital capacity” (FVC) below 70% and having no improvement in FEVI after bronchodilator. Severity GERD was categorized as per episodes of symptoms. Information regarding the frequency of GERD was collected via study proforma. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.  Results:  Overall 100 cases were studied; their mean age was 47.54+3.62 years. Out of all 90% were males and 10% were females. Frequency of GERD in patients with COPD reveals 33%, followed by 03% study subjects had mild GERD, 7% had moderate, 11% had severe and 12% had very severe symptoms of GERD, while 67% had no nay symptoms of GERD. Conclusion: In the conclusion the frequency of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was found to be 33.0% among COPD subjects.

Abstract Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was suggested to be associated with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in recent years. The aim of this study was to examine the association between GERD and COPD exacerbation through a meta-analysis. Methods Databases including EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched with a systematic searching strategy for original articles, published until Jan 2019, without language restriction. Results A total of 13,245 patients from 10 observational articles were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis indicated that GERD is associated with increased risk of COPD exacerbation (OR: 5.37; 95% CI 2.71–10.64). Patients with COPD and GERD had increased number of exacerbation (WMD: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.65). Conclusions The meta-analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between GERD and COPD exacerbation.
