About

Reflux symptoms index (RSI) were developed to identify a clinical index of suspicion for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in patients with ear, nose, and throat symptoms. RSI is an efficient diagnostic tool for LPR/ It is easy to use, even for those who know little about LPR. It does not require special equipment or examinations and is inexpensive. Thus, it can be considered highly efficient and cost-effective. The study will focus on translating and testing the RSI into Kazakh language and comparing its results in healthy people and people with laryngopharyngeal reflux.
