OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and severity of @entity1109 in individuals who have a prior diagnosis of @entity792 . DESIGN: Cross-sectional questionnaire. @entity1 AND SETTING:     One hundred and nine @entity1 with @entity792 ( @entity309 , seronegative spondarthritis, connective tissue disease, @entity13571 ) and 41 @entity1 with @entity792 ( @entity571 / @entity170 ) attending a rheumatology tertiary referral clinic at Norfolk _ Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The results from this study were compared to previous published figures in @entity1 with globus pharyngeus (n = 105) and normal population (n = 174). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Glasgow Edinburgh Throat Scale questionnaire; Reflux Symptom Index; @entity308 Scale. RESULTS: @entity1 with @entity792 demonstrate a significantly higher prevalence for 5/10 symptoms on the Glasgow Edinburgh Throat scale score when compared to the non-autoimmune control group (P  <= 0.01). This significant difference increases to 9/10 symptoms when compared to published results for the normal population (P = 0.01). No significant difference was found when comparing the autoimmune and non-autoimmune control group reflux symptom index (P = 0.64) or @entity308 scale (P = 0.71). CONCLUSION: @entity1 with @entity792 have a significantly increased prevalence of globus symptoms when compared to the healthy population. A further prospective study is required to decipher the effect of pharmacotherapy as a possible causative factor.
