Richard B. Colletti MD, FAAP1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, VT 05401

The North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition recently published a medical position statement on the indications for esophageal pH monitoring in infants and children.1 The statement includes a discussion, with 126 references, of clinical situations in which esophageal pH monitoring is generally useful, generally not useful, or conditional. The statement, which also includes summary recommendations, was prepared to promote optimal patient care, to foster learning, and to guide practitioners, as well as to facilitate peer and other review of clinical practices.
