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).
easily-collected index that accurately identifies the presence and severity of
laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPF) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
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.
