DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its troublesome complications constitute serious diagnostic and management challenges to the development of safe feeding and airway protection strategies among infants convalescing in the neonatal intensive care units; thus contributing to prolonged lengths of stay, recurrent hospitalizations, and death. GERD is frequently diagnosed by inadequate criteria, and the relative risks, benefits and indications of GERD therapies are unclear. Significant gaps in knowledge exist in understanding the complex causal or adaptive aerodigestive protective reflex mechanisms implicated in GERD in infants. The long-term goal is to improve digestive health, nutrition, and infant development through the design of simplified personalized treatment paradigms by better understanding the pathophysiology of aerodigestive reflexes. The current objective is to conduct a prospective single center randomized blinded controlled trial comparing the short term effects of our innovative feeding strategy bundle versus standard feeding approach. The central unifying hypothesis is that our innovative feeding strategy bundle will modify the overlapping functions of several aerodigestive reflexes responsible for esophageal clearance and airway protection to improve clinical outcomes in these patients. This hypothesis is formulated based on our prior work during the R01 funding period. The rationale for this proposal is to minimize morbidities from GERD by understanding the integration of afferent-efferent relationships of aerodigestive reflexes in relation to infant feeding approaches. Guided by strong preliminary data, this hypothesis will be tested by pursuing two specific aims: 1) Comparison of the clinical outcomes of standard feeding approach with the innovative feeding strategy bundle, and 2) Determination of the pathophysiological mechanism of success or failure to either therapy. Under aim-1, we will test the hypothesis that the innovative feeding strategy bundle is more effective in achieving the oral feeding success and decrease in infant-GER-questionnaire-revised symptom scores. Under aim-2, we will test the hypothesis and validate results from the preliminary data by utilizing our diagnostic tools to identify difference between the two study arms in regards to aero-digestive reflexes, esophageal clearance mechanisms, enteric neuromotor markers of swallowing, and pH-impedance-symptom indices. The approach is innovative, in that we use state-of-the-art methods including multimodal esophageal sensory provocation methods, videomanometry, pH-Impedance methods, symptom indices, glottal ultrasonography, and innovative feeding strategy. The proposed research is significant, because knowledge gained will provide the scientific and economic rationale for future multicenter effectiveness trials to refine therapies for GERD. New benchmarks to develop preventative and therapeutic strategies for GERD in infants are anticipated, which will positively impact the quality of life for infants and parents.

描述（由申请人提供）：胃食管反流病（GERD）及其棘手的并发症对新生儿重症监护室中康复的婴儿制定安全喂养和气道保护策略构成了严重的诊断和管理挑战；从而导致住院时间延长、反复住院和死亡。 GERD 的诊断标准经常不充分，并且 GERD 治疗的相对风险、益处和适应症尚不清楚。在理解婴儿 GERD 所涉及的复杂因果或适应性呼吸消化保护反射机制方面存在重大知识空白。长期目标是通过更好地了解呼吸消化反射的病理生理学，设计简化的个性化治疗范例，从而改善消化健康、营养和婴儿发育。目前的目标是进行一项前瞻性单中心随机盲对照试验，比较我们的创新喂养策略组合与标准喂养方法的短期效果。中心统一假设是，我们的创新喂养策略包将改变负责食管清除和气道保护的几种呼吸消化反射的重叠功能，以改善这些患者的临床结果。这一假设是根据我们之前在 R01 资助期间的工作制定的。该提案的基本原理是通过了解与婴儿喂养方法相关的呼吸消化反射的传入传出关系的整合，最大限度地减少胃食管反流病的发病率。在强有力的初步数据的指导下，该假设将通过追求两个具体目标进行检验：1）比较标准喂养方法与创新喂养策略组合的临床结果，以及2）确定任一治疗成功或失败的病理生理机制。在目标 1 下，我们将检验以下假设：创新喂养策略集在实现经口喂养成功和降低婴儿 GER 问卷修订症状评分方面更有效。在目标 2 下，我们将利用我们的诊断工具来检验假设并验证初步数据的结果，以确定两个研究组在呼吸消化反射、食管清除机制、吞咽的肠神经运动标志物和 pH 方面的差异-阻抗症状指数。该方法具有创新性，因为我们使用最先进的方法，包括多模式食管感觉激发方法、视频测压法、pH-阻抗方法、症状指数、声门超声检查和创新喂养策略。拟议的研究意义重大，因为所获得的知识将为未来改进 GERD 疗法的多中心有效性试验提供科学和经济原理。预计将制定针对婴儿 GERD 预防和治疗策略的新基准，这将对婴儿和父母的生活质量产生积极影响。
