Abstract in brief

  • Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is common in infants, affecting about 50% of those under three months, but it usually resolves with age and rarely persists after infancy.
  • Distinguishing GORD from GOR is debated, but GORD is defined as more serious symptoms or complications of GOR.
  • This Cochrane review analyzes pharmacological treatments for GOR in children, reviewing all potential benefits and harms by examining data from numerous medical databases and ongoing trials.

@tomkoczian @ianlewins @Dr_Ellie The evidence is actually better for gaviscon than acid suppression (still only mixed evidence) Also probably less harmful as shouldn’t disrupt bowel flora https://t.co/Pk0kLmnhv5
