Cross-sectional study reveals poor sleep quality linked to reflux symptoms in patients with LPR, suggesting assessment could improve care.

The aim was to explore the connection between reflux symptom severity and sleep quality in laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) patients.
Cross-sectional observational study with 153 LPR patients aged 20–75.
Reflux symptom severity measured using Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and sleep quality assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Spearman’s correlation and multiple linear regression analyzed the relationship between RSI and PSQI scores.
Significant but weak correlation found between RSI and PSQI scores (r = 0.37).
RSI total score was a significant predictor of poor sleep quality (β = 0.36, p < 0.001).
No significant differences in scores by sex were detected.
