    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um die diagnostische Trefferquote verschiedener Untersuchungen der gastro oesophagealen Refluxkrankheit zu evaluieren, wurden 90 Testpersonen (45 gesunde Probanden und 45 Patienten mit der Erkrankung) in dieser Studie untersucht. Radiographie, Endoskopie, 24-h-pH-Metrie und die Manometrie des unteren oesophagealen Sphincters wurden getestet. Die morphologischen Untersuchungen, Radiographie und Endoskopie erreichten nur begrenzte Sensitivität (78% resp. 62%). Die höchste Sensitivität (96%) und Spezifität (96%) hatte die 24-h-pH-Metrie. Die Manometrie selektiert Patienten mit einem mechanisch insuffizienten Sphincter mit einer Trefferquote von 87%.
    Notes: Summary In this study the diagnostic accuracy of the current investigations regarding gastroesophageal reflux disease was evaluated. Ninety subjects (45 healthy volunteers and 45 patients with the disease) underwent radiography, esophagoscopy, 24-h esophageal pH monitoring, and manometry of the lower esophageal sphincter. Morphologic investigations such as radiography and esophagoscopy showed limited sensitivity (78% vs 62%). The highest accuracy found was 24-h pH monitoring with 96% sensitivity and specificity. Manometry of the sphincter can select patients with a mechanically insufficient sphincter with an accuracy of 87%. The diagnostic workup should include functional studies.
