    Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is a prevalent comorbidity in outpatients with laryngeal disorders, significantly impacting quality of life.

  • 2

    Independent risk factors for LPRD include age ≥65, BMI ≥25 kg/m2, smoking, strong tea preference, abnormal LES function, laryngeal surgery history, and hypertension.

  • 3

    A prediction model based on seven risk factors was developed, achieving a sensitivity of 0.723 and specificity of 0.892 for diagnosing LPRD.

  • 4

    Abnormal LES function was identified as the most significant risk factor for LPRD, with the highest odds ratio of 2.376.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the need for early identification and intervention in LPRD to improve treatment outcomes and reduce complications.
