Background: Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) augments the diagnostic yield of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring. While acid exposure time (AET) correlates with MNBI, it remains unclear whether esophageal motility affects MNBI values. The present study was aimed at evaluating the respective roles of esophageal motor function and AET on MNBI. Methods: High-resolution manometry (HRM) studies and ambulatory 24-hour MII-pH monitoring tracings were retrospectively analyzed from consecutive endoscopy-negative GERD patients with typical symptoms responsive to previous acid-suppressive therapy from three tertiary care centers. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine predictors of pathologic MNBI values at 3 cm and 5 cm above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Key Results: Patients with pathological AET displayed lower MNBI values at 3 cm and 5 cm (P <.01) compared to patients with non-pathological AET. Similarly, significantly lower M...

Abstract
Background: Mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) augments the diagnostic yield of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring. While acid exposure time (AET) correlates with MNBI, it remains unclear whether esophageal motility affects MNBI values. The present study was aimed at evaluating the respective roles of esophageal motor function and AET on MNBI. Methods: High-resolution manometry (HRM) studies and ambulatory 24-hour MII-pH monitoring tracings were retrospectively analyzed from consecutive endoscopy-negative GERD patients with typical symptoms responsive to previous acid-suppressive therapy from three tertiary care centers. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine predictors of pathologic MNBI values at 3 cm and 5 cm above the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Key Results: Patients with pathological AET displayed lower MNBI values at 3 cm and 5 cm (P <.01) compared to patients with non-pathological AET.
