Overview

The primary objective of this study is to show that the Supraglottic Index (SGI) is an easily-collected index that accurately identifies the presence and severity of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPF) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Description

The study team hypothesizes the SGI will correlate more strongly with measures of IPF severity (at baseline and over time) than gastroesophageal reflux (GER) data derived from the esophageal detector channels of a pH/impedance probe.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of IPF
  • Age 40-95
  • Able to read, speak, and understand English
  • If subjects are currently taking medication for reflux or GERD, they much be on a stable does for at least 4 weeks prior to consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who do not meet all inclusion criteria
  • Pregnant females
