The link with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) has been identified as a research priority, as GORD appears to be common in IPF and may be associated with adverse outcomes [1]. GORD is often clinically silent in IPF, so detection is challenging [2].After MDT work-up and review, gastro-oesophageal reflux and pulmonary aspiration were found to be common in IPF patients; surgery was recommended in only 10% http://ow.ly/rO3T30lU17o ER -
