The number of reflux events recorded close to the squamocolumnar junction is higher than at the conventional position. This short-segment reflux might be related to the high incidence of metaplasia and neoplasia at the gastroesophageal junction.

Am J Gastroenterol 2004; 99:1037-1043. A first multicentre database of pH impedance measurements including 60 normal adult volunteers showed that the total number of reflux events (acid and nonacid) is around 30/24 hours, of which acid reflux was twofold more frequent than weakly acidic and weakly alkaline reflux.
