Background: There is a lack of data on combined esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH (MII-pH) monitoring in the Chinese population. Goals: To define the normal range and compare the parameters to those of the Western population. Study: Healthy volunteers were recruited and underwent 24-hour ambulatory combined MII-pH monitoring. Gastroesophageal reflux episodes were detected and characterized by pH (acidic, weakly acidic and weakly alkaline reflux) and composition (liquid, mixed and gas reflux). Results: Seventy healthy volunteers (male: female 33: 37) were recruited. The median and 95th percentile number of the total reflux episodes over 24 h in the Chinese population was 40 and 75, respectively, whereas the corresponding numbers of acidic, weakly acidic and weakly alkaline reflux episodes were 22 and 54, 16 and 40, and 0 and 4, respectively. Among all reflux episodes 53.3% were acidic, 44.7% were weakly acidic, and 2% weakly alkaline. More than half (52.4%) of the reflux episodes were mixed, 37.2% were liquid, and 10.4% were gas. A total of 26.6% of reflux episodes reached 15 cm above the lower esophageal sphincter. Male gender was associated with an increased number of acid, liquid, mixed and proximal reflux episodes (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study provides normal values for the Chinese population. Differences between genders in impedance parameters required caution during data interpretation. The number of reflux episodes in the Chinese population was similar to that in the Western population.
